Analysis of the Brief

The brief specifies four common scenarios in which fishermen are most at risk which I can use to help direct my research. The main areas for further research seem to be:

- Culture of the fishing industry

- How boats differ between different types of fishing

- Conditions on board

- Existing safety related products

- Do these get used or even bought?

- How do people cope in water?

- What are the conditions in water?

- Are there any useful survival type first hand accounts available?
