Os 23 empregos mais mortíferos da América

A exploração madeireira é frequentemente citada como o trabalho mais perigoso da América, e por boas razões. Basta uma rápida pesquisa online sobre acidentes de exploração madeireira para constatar que as pessoas que extraem árvores para a produção de produtos de madeira, uma matéria-prima fundamental para a indústria da construção, morrem ou ficam feridas com uma regularidade perturbadora. Os acidentes fatais mais comuns entre os trabalhadores madeireiros são os acidentes envolvendo desgalhadores, empacotadores, despachantes e outros equipamentos pesados e perigosos usados para transformar árvores em feixes transportáveis de toras.

De acordo com o Bureau of Labor Statistics dos EUA, a taxa de acidentes de trabalho fatais entre os que sofreram quedas – os trabalhadores da linha da frente da indústria madeireira – no ano passado foi de surpreendentes 530 por 100.000 trabalhadores, ou 33 trabalhadores numa força de trabalho total de 5.600. Compare isto com a média nacional para todas as profissões monitorizadas pelo Departamento do Trabalho dos EUA de 3,3 mortes por 100.000 trabalhadores.

Mas os que caem são apenas uma parte dos perigosos negócios de exploração madeireira, silvicultura e poda de árvores, nos quais dezenas de milhares de trabalhadores realizam alguns dos trabalhos mais perigosos da América. (Por outro lado, aqui estão 10 empregos que tornam a paternidade administrável.)

Para determinar os empregos mais perigosos nos EUA, 24 horas por dia, 7 dias por semana, Wall St. revisou o Censo de Lesões Ocupacionais Fatais de 2021 do BLS. As ocupações são classificadas de acordo com o maior número anual de lesões fatais por 100.000 trabalhadores. Os dados de emprego usados para calcular mortes e lesões por trabalhador vieram do programa BLS Employment Projections para 2021. Excluímos categorias amplas de ocupações e ocupações com menos de cinco mortes relatadas em 2021. Mergulhadores comerciais, pescadores industriais e quase qualquer tipo de azul Os trabalhos de colarinho nos campos de petróleo e gás do país também são ocupações de alto risco. A lista também inclui empregos com salários mais baixos, como motorista de táxi, podador de árvores e carpinteiro, bem como empregos em outras profissões mecânicas, como mecânico de equipamentos agrícolas, instalador de linhas de energia e reparador de elevadores. (Veja também, as trabalhadoras domésticas são as que têm mais empregos nestes 12 estados.)
