Ehh i started thinkin about it after those miners were killed... how dangerous is your job?

http://biz.yahoo.com/weekend/dangerjob_1.html

They have a little slideshow link at the bottom of the 10 most dangerous jobs. Im at #5

 

i sit in ym garage all day in a brown folding chair.

i think ill be ok.

 

pretty dangerous id say.. never know if i will choke to death on a potato chip while sitting on the couch. or pass out and drown in my cereal.. its some pretty serious stuff no joke

 

Professional and Business Services

3.2 fatalities per 100,000 workers

damn im in serious danger

 

I deal with intercooler/bov/SS manifold all day and taking the risk of getting kill when the manifold cracks

 

----, half the day I'm dealing with oil lines. Have you ever seen how sharp the ends get when they fray? The other half of the day I paint people's houses. Fucken purdy keeps making their brushes sharper and sharper. I'd say on a scale of 1 to 10, I'm fucked at 0.39 on the danger scale.

 

That list is kinda lame.I do construction mainly industrial at chemical plants and pulp mills where you could get killed in a second if you are not on the ball.That being said the safety regulations are so strict these days the chances of being killed are relativly low.I think being a convience store clerk in the gettho is probably much more dangerous.

 

the danger level of my job is .0001 % , unless my cubicle is gonna come crashing down on me

 

I'm a residential electrician. Got to be on your toes sometimes, especially when things are live. Nothing like doing a fastrack service...you replace the outside meter pan and service connection while the power line is still attached and live. I have special gloves that i use for this specificly...thick rubber linings and thick leather glove over top that come up to your elbows. Only thing is if either one of those 2 glove pieces has a pinhole in it, kiss my *** good bye.

 

slo_crx1, locally you install the new service parallel to the existing one and then the power company comes out and switched the main line @ the pole for you.

Sucks to be you!
