摘要

迄今为止,对观鲸风险和安全的研究重点往往是鲸鱼(或海豚/鼠海豚)的安全。本文从互动的人的角度探讨了这一问题,并通过审查澳大利亚现有法律案件记录和立法中的证据来考虑船上观鲸乘客的安全,以更好地了解在这些海洋野生动物旅游场景中可能对人们造成的风险和伤害。对两起法律案件的审查以及媒体对其他司法管辖区观鲸事件的报道表明,海浪和相关的船只剧烈运动是造成乘客严重受伤的原因。在未能适当注意海浪并安全适应不断变化的海况的地方,运营商被发现疏忽大意。在涉及关于旅行性质和相关风险的不准确和误导性宣传和沟通,以及乘客没有得到足够的安全简报的情况下,法律挑战也取得了成功。此外,签署的旨在保护旅行社免受船上受伤责任的豁免书不足以免除旅行社的责任。鉴于对观鲸感兴趣的各种国际游客的文化、语言和身体能力各不相同,建议通过广泛使用和理解的符号以及多种语言传达宣传材料、安全简报和安全通信(如警告标志)。此外,在船只离开码头之前,应对乘客进行一些筛查,以确定先前存在的医疗状况,并评估他们安全参与航行的能力,并了解安全说明。澳大利亚海事安全局现已提供协助运营商履行职责的模板。

Passenger Safety on Whale-Watching Vessels in Australia
To date, the focus of research into risks and safety in whale watching has tended to be on the safety of the whales (or dolphins/porpoises). This article explores the issue from the human side of the interaction and considers boat-based whale-watching passenger safety by reviewing evidence from available legal case records and legislation in Australia to better understand the risks and injuries that can occur to people in these marine wildlife tourism scenarios. A review of two legal cases and observations from media reports of whale-watching incidents in other jurisdictions revealed that waves and associated violent vessel movement are responsible for serious injuries to passengers. Where there was a failure to keep a proper lookout for waves and safely adapt to changing sea conditions operators have been found negligent. Legal challenges have also been successful in cases involving inaccurate and misleading promotion and communication about the nature of the tour and associated risks, and where passengers had not received adequate safety briefings. Furthermore, signed waivers that sought to protect the tour operator from responsibilities for injuries sustained aboard were not sufficient to absolve operators from liability. Given the different cultures, languages, and physical capabilities of a diverse range of international tourists interested in whale watching it is recommended that promotional materials, safety briefings, and safety communications (such as warning signs) be communicated by widely used and understood symbols and in multiple languages. In addition, some screening of passengers to ascertain preexisting medical conditions and to assess their ability to participate in the voyage safely, and with understanding of safety instructions, should be undertaken prior to a vessel leaving the dock. Templates to assist operators with their responsibilities are now available from the Australian Maritime Safety Authority.
