Man overboard: A survivor’s success story

“We wanted to focus on these stories to show people in the industry that adopting safe practices and technologies is a way to keep themselves and their crew safe in one of the nation’s most dangerous jobs” 
- Ted Teske, a safety specialist for NIOSH in Spokane, Wash.

Check out this video created by NIOSH called “Fishing Safety Success Story: My Life Vest Saved Me,” based on Stan Jones’ survival story. The video includes an interview with Stan’s son Rocky, who witnessed the accident.  A great reminder to all of the importance of wearing a PFD.
