Trades and High Risk Jobs

Here's a quick quiz – what are the most dangerous trades and high risk jobs when it comes to safety?

If you said manufacturing plant workers and the military, you'd be on the right track. However, you'd probably be surprised to hear about the hundreds of other trades and high risk jobs whose workers can end up with significant health concerns.

For instance, consider these trades and high risk jobs and the high risk tasks that go along with them as listed by the National Institutes of Health (NIH):

Trades and High Risk Jobs List:

Animal Breeders – handle laboratory animals; handle infected animals or animal carcasses; repeatedly inhale bird dropping residue

Glaziers – work with glue solvents; use epoxy or formaldehyde-resin finishes or sealants

Manicurists – use methacrylates; generate latex dust

Packers and Packagers – generate grain dust; manufacture pesticides; repeatedly inhale bioaerosols; work with wet hands

Upholsterers – use epoxy or isocyanate adhesives or finishes; work with glue solvents; handle items that cause allergic contact dermatitis

If these trades and high risk jobs give you pause, it's no wonder. After all, we rarely think of manicurists as working in a "dangerous" environment. But when you look at the evidence, they clearly may develop some kind of physical ailment from their day-in, day-out work.
