About This Tool
According to the statistics of the U.S. Bureau of Labor, almost all of the most dangerous occupations in the United States can be classified as manual labor. At the same time, the practitioners of these occupations have not received high rewards that are consistent with high risks. The risk of these dangerous jobs is closely related to the safety of the working environment and tools, falling and slipping, traffic accidents, excessive fatigue, and being hit by objects are the most common workplace accidents.
Statistics show that logging is the most dangerous occupation in the country, and its rate of work-related injuries is 38 times the national average. The random tool lists 30 of the most dangerous jobs in America.
