Ten Most Dangerous Jobs In The World! by teekrackz(m): 4:25pm On Dec 04, 2013
Although sitting at a computer all day could
probably be considered one of the most
dangerous jobs given that it completely
destroys your cardiovascular and skeletal
systems, it’s also a very boring way to shorten
your life. The 10 most dangerous jobs in the
world promise a much more satisfying demise.
10
Mechanics
Between fumes, chemicals, and dangerous
tools, mechanics working on everything from
mini coopers to fighter jets are exposed to
their fair share of hazardous situations.
9
Metal Crafters

Besides dealing with the obvious things like
heat and metal, these workers typically
experience negative health effects in the long
term due to inhalation of various chemicals
they are exposed to.
8
Search and Rescue
Whether it’s the Coast Guard facing high seas
or a mountain rescue team facing sub zero
temperatures at night, it’s not hard to sea why
this job would make the list.
7
Sanitation Workers

In many places it’s paid well for a reason. The
potential exposure to all sorts of hazardous
materials raises the danger level a few
notches.
6
Land Mine Remover
Although in some parts of the world this is the
military’s job, there are many formerly war
torn regions completely covered in left over
land mines. With governments that could care
less there is a job opening in the private
market, and it’s not a fun one.
5
Personal Transport Drivers

Although busses and trains have their own
dangerous, driving rickshaws, tuk tuks, and
taxis is in a whole different ball park. Besides
the obvious dangers of the road there is the
persistent danger of robbery or violence. Even
in the United States, taxi drivers have one of
the higher on-the-job mortality rates.
4
Miners

There are few jobs that can destroy your
health like mining. Besides the long term
danger of the black lung there is the constant
risk of cave ins or other potentially life
stopping situations.
3
Bush Pilots
Everybody knows that pilots have a dangerous
job. Planes crash all the time right? Wrong. At
least not the planes you’re probably thinking
about. Large airlines are actually a very safe
mode of transportation. If you were talking
about bush pilots though, that’s another story.
Facing extremely hostile weather and terrain,
their job is anything but safe.
2
Deep Sea Fishermen
www.classesandcareers.com
Here’s a classic. It actually used to be the most
dangerous job on most lists, especially
Alaskan crab fisherman. Between high seas,
long nights, freezing temperatures, and lots of
moving parts there is almost nothing more
dangerous.

Lumberjack

Along with deep sea fishing, the logging
industry is a long time source of workplace
danger. Big trees, sharp saws, and hard hours
are not a good mix.
