The most dangerous occupation?

[V8Ian]

Soldier?
Policeman?
Miner?
Truck driver?
Construction worker?
Tight rope walker?
Librarian?

None of the above. Pope, they've all died on the job.

The one before the current one didn't.

[V8Ian]

Really? Even so, it shows that non-unionised labour is more dangerous.

He was the first one to give a week's notice in over 800 years.

Most accidents happen in the home, so home duties would be the most dangerous occupation, I think.

[V8Ian]

Still better odds than being a Pope, Pedro.

The job isn't dangerous, not when they all die of old age, that happens to most of us, even when you're not on the job, because more people die of old age when not working:tease:

Farming often gets top marks (Statistically) for dangerous occupations, but I think Pedro's on the money here, if you're talking pure danger.

Let's compare......................

The most dangerous job is actually being a housewife. 100 die from assault annually and 55,000 reported assaults by partners occur each year.

And no, not technically a job - but ask your better half how she sees it [emoji12]

Hey, I want a job that I can travel at insane speeds on a motorbike and bounce off stone walls.

I used to work with a fellow, John McGuiness. I wonder if he is the same one in that clip. The one I knew ended up up a tree. Don't know where his bike ended up.

Do they get paid for that?
You couldn't pay me enough.

It's sort of like the commute to work, but without traffic lights and cars.

So, I take it you regularly bounce off stone walls

An analysis of the most recent data set from Safe Work Australia found the agriculture, forestry and fishing industry recorded the highest number of injuries and fatalities from 2003 to 2014, with the 686 deaths recorded accounting for 23 per cent of total workplace deaths in the period.
In 2013-14 the combined industry recorded the third-highest number of worker's compensation claims, referring to 8.6 million hours worked.

When I was doing my apprentice ship I was told the trade with the shortest life expectancy was tool making. Stress being the killer. I started as tool maker till I was forty odd and the signs of stress where evident. So don`t do much in the way of tool making any more. Know of two toolmakers, one succeeded in topping him self and the other ended up as might as well got the job done right. What stress you say? Jobs costing hundreds of thousands of dollars that take months to complete and only one mistake and you start again and all ways a dead line to meet. Remember one plastic die going in the bin due to a holes being incorrectly drilled. That was when there was a lot more manual work done. Now tool making is all CNC.

100 housewives dying annually is absolutely bloody appalling, but it doesn't tell the whole story. There were quite a few battered and dead guys in amongst that lot too.
The 55,000 assaults were for ALL domestic violence cases reported though - male/female, female/female and male/male relationships.
Last stats I checked showed male to female vs female to male domestic violence was roughly at a parity - only a few percent in it.
Children assaulted in the home was roughly 70% female perpetrators to 30% male.
Highest rate of domestic violence occurred in female/female relationships - ratio is at least 6 to 7 times higher than for male/female relationships.
Lowest rate of violence was in male/male relationships.
The findings are similar for the USA, UK and Canada or so one of my psychologist friends tells me.
I would hazard a guess that other countries are better or worse depending on many factors (cultural, economic, religious etc).
I don't condone any violence in any relationship, so it is sometimes hard for me to get my head around how things can get so bad as I luckily never experienced it in my family.

Edit: a couple of articles I saw last year on bias in DV reporting

That is scary.

If refugee was an occupation then it would have to rate as there are currently about 60 million of them suffering many bad things, including slavery, assault, trauma, injuries etc.

in Australia?

[loneranger]

I reckon being a husband is the most dangerous. Afterall statistically wives outlive their husbands. 😉

[DiscoMick]

in Australia?
Some. Asian women being held prisoner in brothels to service men to pay off supposed debts to brothel owners, who take their passports, would be one example. Have sex or be turned over to the cops for deportation.

if you know of this happening, i suggest you contact the police.

[DiscoMick]

The cops are already well onto it.

How about bomb disposal. A hand`s on job that get`s you out and about quite often, but you tend to go to pieces over the slightest mistake. [bigwhistle]

None of the above. Pope, they've all died on the job.

If all these Popes died on the job, what does that say about their vow of chastity?
Oh and the one who retired., i'm told he lost his marbles. The only one who pulled it off?
Also: How do you form a Union when you're the only bloke in the job? (I can say bloke because there's no equal opportunity in that job.)

You'd probably want Billy Connolly as Secretary/Industrial Officer/Organiser.

I found this in a trucking magazine the other day. I was going to put it in the jokes thread, until I found this thread.
