Development of an OH&S induction training video for the post harvest sector of the seafood industry

Project number: 2003-415
Project Status:
Completed
Budget expenditure: $42,000.00
Principal Investigator: Bryan Skepper
Organisation: Sydney Fish Market Pty Ltd

Need

The need for this project was clearly identified in the WorkCover NSW funded research project on Manual Handling Methods in the Seafood Industry that was undertaken in 2002.

One of the key recommendations from that project was the need for “a strategic, co-ordinated and national approach” for “OHS education and training for all people working in the industry”.

This project meets the FRDC Program 2: Industry Development Priority for Occupational Health and Safety as it will increase and apply knowledge of occupational health and safety in the fishing industry. It would also fall under the Legislative, institutional, compliance and policy arrangements and their Impacts priority area of this Program.

In addition the project is in conformance with SSA’s Segment 5 market segment priority by contributing to ensuring that industry is operating to best practice occupational health and safety standards.

Objectives

1. To develop and produce an OH&S training video for the post harvest sector of industry, that meets the requirements of the Occupational Health and Safety Act and is compatible with the competency requirements of the Seafood Industry Training Package.

Need

Due to new and proposed fisheries and other management regulations the Queensland seafood industry (both fishers and processors) is in economic turmoil. Without optimising income from our dwindling allocation of resources it is unlikely that many in the industry will survive. This project if successful will open the way for the development of a new value added product that will see greater returns to both fishers and processors. Without value adding our harvest and achieving higher returns this industry will not be able to sustain the present number of fishers and processors.PrioritiesThis project address QFIRAC’S strategic goal –‘ Fisheries resources are utilised to their maximum

Objectives

1. Determining survival rates of blue swimmer crabs using traditional live packing techniques

Summary

This project is a preliminary investigation into the potential for live shipping of blue swimmer crabs by traditional dry packing methods. The project adopted the findings of the WA project ‘how to stop a blue crab feeling blue’ for the onboard handling procedures then investigated different methods of dry packing the live crabs to determine the best packing method and the survival rate at different times post packing.

All trials were conducted using 36 litre polystyrene cartons, each layer of crabs were separated by a moist 5mm piece of foam. Coolant gels were used to maintain a cool temperature within the polystyrene cartons, these were separated from the crabs by a layer of woodwool and a 6mm C flute corrugated board.
