New data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics has found logging to be the most dangerous job in America, followed by industries such as fishing, hunting and roofing.
in America, according to new government data released this week, with an industry expert telling FOX Business that the risk is linked to tough working conditions, rugged terrain and the "potential for blunt force trauma accidents."
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ national census of fatal occupation injuries revealed that the logging industry has a fatal work injury rate of 82 per 100,000 full-time equivalent workers in 2021. That industry was followed by fishing and hunting workers with 75 and roofers with 59. "There is no denying that logging is inherently dangerous and difficult. This can be attributed to thesuch as winter snow conditions and rugged terrain," Scott Dane, the executive director of the American Loggers Council, a national advocacy group, told FOX Business. "Additionally, the forces represented by felling and handling timber exposes loggers to the potential for blunt force trauma accidents.
Dane said some in the industry "take this ‘most dangerous job' label as a badge of honor, somehow reflecting how brave they are," but "today's loggers are professionals that take pride in the work they do [and] their focus on safety." A worker operates machinery to cut logs during a tree harvest in Moundsville, West Virginia, on Aug. 27, 2020.
He added that logging has "evolved from on the ground hand felling, limbing and bucking to safer mechanized operations in much of the country," which helps remove loggers "from the hazardous exposure of falling trees and eliminates the need to use chainsaws in many instances.
