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 everyday. Here are some jobs that fall into that category: Lumberjack An investigation by the Globe and Mail, in collaboration with Statistics Canada, found that forestry had the 10th highest number of traumatic injury fatalities, with 57 deaths between 2011 and 2015. It also found that it was the second deadliest industry in Canada. Trash and Recycling Collectors Trash and recycling collectors have the fifth most dangerous job in the United States. According to the latest data from the Bureau Labour Statistics, 31 total deaths were recorded in 2016, many from workers falling off trucks, getting hit by vehicles while on the job, or accidents with machinery. Roofers A 2017 investigation by the Globe and Mail found that roofers in Canada are five times more likely to die on the job than police officers! Vets In Australia, it’s mental health that plagues workers in this industry. These employees are up to four times more likely to fall victim to suicide than the rest of the Australian population! Aircraft pilot and Flight Engineers In 2015, crew fatalities accounted for 62 per cent of total aircraft fatalities, with the other 38 per cent being passengers, according to the Transportation Safety Board of Canada. That year, there were 251 aviation accidents reported, 227 of which involved a Canadian-registered aircraft. Farmers According to the study by Statistics Canada and the Globe and Mail, farmers had the 10th highest traumatic injury fatality rate in Canada between 2011 and 2015. They saw an average of 23.9 deaths per 100,000 workers. Deep-sea Fishermen There’s a reason Deadliest Catch is such a popular show. In a data project with Statistics Canada, fishing was found to be the deadliest job in Canada. The highest cause of death in this industry, is drowning. In a 2012 report released by the Transportation Safety Board of Canada, falling overboard was found to be the second highest cause of death. Miners For workers in this industry around the world, the dangers are rife. China has the world’s largest mining industry and also one of the deadliest. A report found that the country accounts for 80 per cent of coal-mining deaths around the world each year, mostly a result of explosions. Grounds Maintenance Workers According to the Bureau Labour Statistics, these workers had the 10th most dangerous job in 2016, with 217 total fatalities reported. Most workers died from transportation accidents, while others were the result of falls, being struck by loose objects, or electrocutions. Truck Drivers Truck drivers had the highest number of fatalities on the job in 2016 than any other occupation in the United States, with a death rate of 24.7 per 100,000 workers.

How did forestry and farming both come 10th place for traumatic injury fatality rate in Canada between 2011 and 2015? Following my advice may cause injury, insanity, financial loss, hemorrhoids, death and superpowers

I remember a survey a while back which put farmers and farm workers quite high up in the list of "most dangerous jobs". This was maybe just data collected from the UK rather than Canada or global, but I think the results were similar. However I think the data in that survey included deaths triggered by depression from working in the industry.

Trust me, my hubby and I know far too well the dangers of living and working on the road. Safety is our #1 priority when we're rolling down the highway. Sadly, the majority of trucker related fatalities is caused by driver fatigue. One should never drive drowsy!
