Work can be not only interesting, challenging and money-making, but it can also be dangerous. Going to their shift, hundreds of people around the world are putting their lives at risk. There is even a list of the most dangerous professions.
window washer
At first glance, the job of a window cleaner is not the most dangerous, and few people have ever had a chance to clean up their own apartment. However, the situation seems to be quite different when it comes to a skyscraper window washer in Dubai. The workers perform their duties at an altitude of 120 meters without any special equipment. The risk of your hand slipping off the wet glass is very high in this situation. As a rule, such unskilled positions are occupied by migrants who do not have the right to vote, so the authorities are in no hurry to improve their situation.
Miner
The miners' work is not only extremely difficult, but also dangerous. Not only do these people constantly inhale small particles of rocks, there is a great danger of explosion in mines. Accidents in which workers die from stones that have fallen on them or remain blocked (and removing the injured is a laborious task, and sometimes even impossible for technical reasons) are not uncommon.
Rescue worker
Rescue workers have to risk their lives every day. Fires, floods and other manifestations of the raging elements can sweep away a tiny person without even noticing him. However, this does not prevent brave people from risking their lives for the sake of others.
Sapper
The most effective method of defusing bombs is still manual. The current generation of automated machines is capable of 80% success, while flesh and blood specialists are 99.6% successful. The remaining 0.4%, unfortunately, have no chance of surviving.
Sea fisherman
Fishing on an industrial scale is strikingly different from the usual meditative rest with a rod. Exceptionally strong and hardy men set off on the voyage. These people are often forced to fish for their prey in the harsh northern seas. Cold water and an icy deck lead to many accidents. And high competition between different companies only increases mortality. The Discovery Channel even filmed a series of programs about crab catchers - people whose profession at first glance does not seem risky, but in fact turns out to be complete danger.
Lumberjack
Few professions can match the number of deaths of loggers. The hardest hit is the lumberjacks working in the mountains. A slope of 70-80 degrees, crumbling soil, rocks and tree roots often harm fellers. Felled trees are also dangerous. Falling and rolling, the tree is able to demolish everything in its path. Falling branches also claimed many lives.
