dangerous jobs

when we think about dangerous jobs what

comes to mind are firefighters and

police officers but I'll tell you about

other unexpectedly dangerous professions

out there these people do the work not

many are willing to take the risk for so

this is a shout out for them

the first profession truly deserves a

reward for selflessness

these people are sewage divers and it's

a very important but also dangerous job

towns and cities have extremely

complicated sewage systems and even a

little blockage can cause all waste to

flow back into the streets and homes

so sewage systems are very closely

monitored and sewage divers are the very

people who are responsible for dealing

with blockages as fast as possible to

prevent disastrous consequences

sewage divers wear a dry suit and

special boots they have to stay in the

Water full of all kinds of waste

bacteria and other nasty stuff

a sewage diver gets to the blockage and

removes it since the water is

contaminated any cut even the smallest

one can cause an infection

so these Specialists must be very

careful this job can be so tremendously

dangerous that it's even banned in many

countries

a storm chaser is a very cool name for a

profession which is also very dangerous

these people conduct meteorological

research right in the field reporting

storms tornadoes tsunamis and Other

Extreme weather conditions they collect

information on weather patterns these

patterns are later studied which helps

make better forecasts and reduce damage

these Specialists take photos and videos

of storms to see how they form and learn

more about them

power line workers are people who are

responsible for installing and

maintaining electric power lines and

it's one of the most dangerous jobs in

the world

there are two factors contributing to it

height and high voltage electricity one

of the most dangerous aspects of a line

worker's job is power recovery after a

storm the next profession is a sulfur

Miner sulfur is a pale yellow odorless

chemical element

it's used in agriculture to control

pests and fungus as well as in the

production of matches and fireworks

sulfur is often used in medicine too

so some people's job is to mine it

sulfur is typically found in volcanic

regions that's why volcanoes are the

main workplace of sulfur miners

they break off sulfur from the crater

floor crumble it into smaller pieces

collect them and then carry the

substance to a nearby town

not only is it hard work in itself but

it's also dangerous the fumes and gases

that are produced in the process can

cause respiratory and dental problems

also some miners are located inside

active volcanoes and a sudden eruption

is another potential Danger

mining is a dangerous job overall and

I'll tell you about another kind

Limestone mining limestone is a material

that's widely used in Road and building

construction so you can imagine the

demand for it by the way even the Great

Pyramids of Giza were made from this

material so people have been using it

for thousands of years

Limestone mining isn't an easy job the

process creates clouds of dust and

breathing this dust in isn't healthy

also the dust rises in the air which is

very dangerous considering that people

use Sharp Tools to break limestone rocks

you probably wouldn't think so but trash

and recycling collectors are doing one

of the most dangerous jobs too

one collector has shared that even if

you do the same job every day for years

you can't let your guard down they have

to be especially careful when they get

out of the truck and go to the trash can

there's a cable that raises the

container and a mistake can break it and

cause accidents

the next dangerous job is that of an

underwater welder dry welding or welding

on the shore is usually simpler since

there's no pressure and the welding

process can be controlled better

that's why it's the preferable type of

welding but sometimes performing it can

be too expensive say something that

should be fixed in a ship's Hall is

located under water

to perform dry welding the ship will

have to be pulled out and it's a lot of

money and trouble so underwater welding

it is there are two types of underwater

welding dry welding and wet welding

in dry welding they use a hyperbaric

chamber which they seal around the spot

that needs to be welded

the chamber gets filled with gas to get

rid of all the water inside and prevent

more water from pouring in then the

process is performed almost as if it

wasn't going on underwater

but sometimes the chamber isn't

available or the welding should be done

immediately

in these instances wet welding is

performed pure water doesn't conduct

electricity but most kinds of water tap

water rainwater and of course seawater

contain numerous minerals and impurities

and those make water a great conductor

of electricity to make this process

safer gaseous bubbles are released

around an electric Arc they Shield the

Weld and protect the Diver by ensuring

that electricity isn't conducted through

the water

the problem with the bubbles though is

that they obscure the welding area so

it's harder to see and perform this

process

deep sea fishing is also on the list not

all fish swim close to the shore or in

Shallow Waters tuna swordfish and Marlin

are just a few of the species that swim

deep underwater deep sea fishing is

Everything 100 feet underwater and

deeper it also happens far away from the

shore

such a big distance is one of the

reasons why deep sea fishing is

dangerous in case of an accident you're

too far away from any professional

medical help

also fish that swim in the deep sea are

larger faster and stronger so that kind

of fishing is way more dangerous than

shallow fishing the Open Sea is also way

more unpredictable than the sea close to

the shore so that's another Factor

now let's talk about logging logging

workers provide raw materials for

different Industries it's a very

demanding and dangerous job

in the early days people took down trees

manually these days they use Machinery

but it doesn't make their job any less

dangerous trees still fall and now there

are also sharp chainsaws that are

constantly working

also people are outside at all times and

they have to be alert checking their

surroundings for all possible hazards

and danger can come from anywhere

another dangerous profession is of

course construction workers they have to

deal with great height ladders machinery

and heavy weights so construction

workers should never let their guard

down at work too

roofers are people who install roofs and

repair and maintain them they also use

such materials as metal and asphalt to

make roofs waterproof they're at risk

too since they spend their days at Big

Heights by the way there are also

professional roof cleaners the roof

should be taken care of every once in a

while it needs to be cleaned from moss

and fungus and there are people who will

do it for you

there are also industrial alpinists

they're people who climb buildings

reaching where regular people can't

reach they take care of buildings

facades cleaning and painting them and

even making them waterproof they also do

other kinds of required maintenance to

protect buildings from gases industrial

dust and other damaging factors

Farmers risk their lives every day too

farming is way more than milking cows

and watering plants it also means

working with heavy machinery and

chemicals tractors are quite challenging

to maneuver and they can easily roll

over farm equipment is also dangerous

because it's often very sharp farmers

use a lot of chemicals to protect crops

and keep Machinery clean

chemicals often spread over large areas

making the air around toxic

there are even more potentially

dangerous things but let's finish it

with animals cows and horses are big

heavy and can act unpredictably so it's

another Potential Threat.
