Members of a ship’s crew often suffer a traumatism resulting from falls from a height. Traumatism is a common type of damage affecting those on vessels of the water basins of the north. Falling on board of sea transport vessels occurs 3.7 times more often than on river ones, and 5.6 times more often than on fishing vessels. For the purposes of this work, 217 accidents of fall from a height were analyzed, which constituted 9.8% of all cases of traumatism (15.3 per 1000 employees). The average age of the injured was 32.3 years. The highest frequency of falls from a height occurred among workers 18-20 years old. The highest number of falls from a height among ships’ crews was found among the members with working experience of about one year. The other groups of marine specialists frequently falling from a height were sailors and minders. Highly dangerous work generating falls from a height on vessels happens on transition paths on decks and gangways and is connected with handling and maintenance of deck machinery, mooring, and hatch covers. Alcohol intoxication was found to influence 17.3% of falls from a height on vessels of this group of workers. The major pathologies resulting from falls from a height of members of ships’ crew were various bone fractures, traumatic brain injury, severe bruises, and wounds. The period of disability of the patients with traumatic pathology resulting from falls from a height was on average 80.2 working days, including 29.4 days of spent receiving medical care in a hospital. Recovery occurred in 88.6% cases, and 2.0% of patients obtained legal disability status.

Członkowie załóg statków często cierpią z powodu urazów odniesionych w następstwie upadku z wysokości. Urazy to najczęstsza forma uszkodzenia ciała u osób przebywających na pokładach statków na akwenach północnych. Upadek na pokładzie statków i łodzi transportu morskiego zdarzają się 3,7 razy częściej niż w przypadku transportu rzecznego i 5,6 razy częściej niż w przypadku łodzi i kutrów rybackich. Dla celów niniejszego opracowania poddano analizie 217 przypadków upadku z wysokości, które złożyły się na 9,8% wszystkich urazów na pokładach statków (średnio 15,3 zdarzenia na 1000 pracowników). Średnia wieku poszkodowanych to 32,3 roku. Najczęściej dochodziło do wypadków pracowników między 18 a 20 rokiem życia. Upadki zdarzały się najczęściej pracownikom o doświadczeniu zawodowym ok. 1 roku. Inne grupy, którym upadki przydarzały się bardzo często to marynarze i pracownicy serwisowi. Wysoce niebezpieczne prace często kończące się upadkiem z wysokości wiązały się z przechodzeniem po pokładach i trapach, obsługą i utrzymaniem urządzeń pokładowych, cumowaniem i otwieraniem lub zamykaniem pokryw ładowni. Odkryto, że 17,3 % wszystkich upadków z wysokości wśród pracowników łodzi i statków nastąpiło pod wpływem alkoholu. Upadający najczęściej odnosili różnego rodzaju złamania kości, urazy mózgu, dotkliwe stłuczenia i rany.
