Risky Business
Risky Business Many jobs have inherent risks, while with others, the risks are not so obvious. It’s only when you see the injury and death statistics that you appreciate the dangers the workers face every day. Here are some jobs that fall into that category: Aircraft Pilot and Flight Engineers In 2.0.1.5, crew fatalities accounted for sixty- percent of total aircraft fatalities, with the other thirty-eight percent being passengers, according t.o the Transportation Safety Board of Canada. That year, there were Hundred and fifty-one aviation accidents reported, hundred and twenty-seven were Canadian-registered aircraft. coal Miners For workers in this industry around the world, the dangers are widespread. China has the world’s largest mining industry and also one of the deadliest. A report found that the country accounts for eighty percent of coal-mining deaths around the world each year, mostly a result of explosions. Deep-sea Fishermen There’s a reason Deadliest Catch is such a popular show. In a data project with Statistics Canada, fishing was found t.o be the deadliest job in Canada. The highest cause of death in this industry is drowning. In a report released by the Transportation Safety Board of Canada, falling overboard was found t.o be the second highest cause of death. Farmers According t.o a study by Statistics Canada, farmers had the tenth highest traumatic injury fatality rate in Canada between 2.0.1.1 and 2.0.1.5. Lumberjack An investigation by the Globe in collaboration with Statistics Canada, found that forestry had the tenth highest number of traumatic injury fatalities, with fifty-seven deaths between 2.0.1.1. and 2.0.1.5. It also found that it was the second deadliest industry in Canada. Roofers A 2.0.1.7 investigation found that roofers in Canada are five times more likely t.o die on the job than police officers! Trash and Recycling Collectors Trash and recycling collectors have the fifth most dangerous job in the United States. According t.o the latest data from the Bureau Labour Statistics, thirty-one deaths were recorded in 2.0.1.6 many from workers falling off trucks, getting hit by vehicles while on the job, or accidents with machinery. Truck Drivers Truck drivers had the highest number of fatalities on the job in 2.0.1.6 than any other occupation in the United States, with a death rate of twenty-four point seven per one hundred thousand workers. The report also found that out of all work injuries across all industries, transportation incidents remained the highest cause of death. Ever had a dangerous job? What made it dangerous? |

My career was spent in the corporate sector which is not exactly known for being dangerous. One of the toughest roles was in mortgage collections dealing with customers who often were about to lose their homes. Being yelled or sworn at was not uncommon.

Back in my younger years I was n RF Engineer in charge of a lot of FM radio stations. Being the FCC licensed Engineer my job entailed maintenance and repair on equipment with lethal voltages as high at 8,000 volts , but the biggest danger was replacing light bulbs!! Some were on towers at or above 895 ft.. I have spent all day above 600 ft many times just hanging around by a small rope!!!! But I was younger then, I know better now..Once I climbed up through the low hanging clouds into bright sun.. very eerie.. Stop by at lonlyforlove2 also see Lunch with Lonly , we get snow tomorrow Check my blog on New Community, "A photo of my big Pecker" also, " My Sunday afternoon with the kids'

I will admit to working on something and ending up with a scar. Many of the above occupations have high rates of injury and fatalities because of a time push. Or, especially for farmers, working long hours (which is also due to a time push) that results in poor decisions due to fatigue, rather than trying to work too fast and missing something dangerous. Looking through your list again, several other occupations might also fall into a fatigue issue, Truckers are only supposed to work limited hours without adequate rest, but a few might push the hours. Deep sea fishing might find fatigue a factor, but I have to wonder if weather is a bigger issue. Taking time to study the situation is valuable in saving time by avoiding problems that might arise. Something that is not listed is laborers on buried infrastructure. Too many people are buried while working below the ground surface because it takes too much time to slope the excavation correctly or to use a trench box. And all too often, the other workers call it a freak accident. Even if they can dig the victim out alive, the pressure trauma often sends them into shock and they are at risk of death for some time. I grew up on a farm, and still do some farm work on our acreage. Mowing, baling hay, driving a loader tractor are all things that can lead to a bad outcome. I knew people who died in tractor roll overs or who suffered injury or death in a spinning power take off shaft. I am very careful around power equipment. Be careful out there.

Continuing from yesterday's luck blog, I have been lucky enough that I've worked fairly safe jobs. After graduating high school I worked in retail for about 4 years, then after college I have been worked in architectural and engineering offices. And I do the occasional photography gig. I have heard of the dreaded "Bridezilla" rumors from other photographers, but that hasn't happened to me yet. (good luck don't fail me now!)

I think it is easy to take those who work in dangerous/risky jobs for granted. And you are right, 'danger' pay isn't necessarily factored in.

Thank you for sharing your experience. A very sad outcome and haunting memories for all who were a part of it.

I work in a dangerous Industry, I stress to my crews the importance of inspection and maintenance of the equipment that protects them, and never allow any short cuts. Dangers exist, how we think about them and react to them is what saves lives
