Re: The Most Dangerous Jobs in the World
being boring about this for a moment...
From the 'bureau of labor statistics' the top 3 are - fishermen (drowning)
- timber cutters (struck by falling object)
- airplane pilots (crashes) (in small planes like QazokRouge )
all of which have a risk factor approx 20 times higher than 'the average job'.
The surprising one, to me at least, was cab drivers (homicide) at risk factor 9.5.
Most popular causes of death at work are car accidents and falls.

Re: The Most Dangerous Jobs in the World
Ive heard it from a number of different sources that dentists often kill themselves. Can't imagine why, maybe it get's depressing talking to someone who cannot talk back all day, although i suppose a certain type of person would really enjoy it.

Re: The Most Dangerous Jobs in the World
1 Timber Cutter (Lumber Jacks Tree Surgeons) 117.8 in every 100,000
2 Fishermen 71.1 in every 100,000
3 Pilots and Navigators 69.8 in every 100,000
4 Structural Steel workers (High Rise construction) 58.2 per 100,000
5 Delivery Drivers and sales staff (high incidence of mugging increases fatality rate) 37.9 in every 100,000
6 Roofers 37 in every 100,000
7 Electrical power installers (HV Pylons overhead cables) 32.5 in every 100,000
8 Farm occupations 28 in every 100,000
9 Construction Labourors 27.7 in every 100,000
10 Truck Drivers 25.0 in every 100,000
All figures are per annum based on the 2002 survey results put out by the Bureau of Labor Statistics in America.
In terms of sheer numbers, more truck drivers --- 808 –--died on the job than any other vocation in the top ten. But because there are so many truckers, their fatality rate is only 25 per 100,000
