This top 10 most dangerous jobs list will give you a different view and respect towards people in these professions. Some of them are known to be dangerous, others may shock you with a high fatality rate. They jobs may pay well, but is it worth the risk?
10. Truck drivers
This job is very dangerous because of two things: Extremely long distance travelling and dangerous roads. Some of them are tiny steep roads found on mountains that are not made for trucks, but truck drivers are still forced to drive on them. Such as Trollstigen, Norway. Others are icy and slippery( like the road James Dalton Highway, Alaska) and the truck drivers can only cross their fingers that the heavy truck won’t break through
Over 700 truck drivers lost their life in 2014.
9 prison guard
A prison guard can be a job that could cost your life if you’re not 100% focused. In maximum security prisons such as Gldani prison in Georgia where the most dangerous criminals are to be found, a security guard should never be alone. Many of these prisoners are already serving lifetime, so in their eyes, they don’t have much to lose. This is one of the reasons why rape and inmate beating is such a common thing in prisons, the security guards are simply too afraid to interfere.
