Logging is often cited as the most dangerous job in America, and for good reason. It only takes a quick online search of logging accidents to see that the people who harvest trees for wood products, a fundamental raw material for the construction industry, are killed or injured with disturbing regularity. The<\/span> most common fatal accident among logging workers<\/span> are accidents involving delimbers, bunchers, forwarders, and other <\/span>heavy and dangerous equipment<\/span> used to turn trees into transportable bundles of logs.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the fatal work injury rate for fallers — the frontline workers of the logging industry — last year was a staggering 530 per 100,000 workers, or 33 workers out of a total workforce of 5,600. Compare that to the national average for all occupations tracked by the U.S. Department of Labor of 3.3 deaths per 100,000 workers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But fallers are just one part of the hazardous logging, forestry, and tree-trimming businesses in which tens of thousands of workers are doing some of the most dangerous work in America. (On the other hand, here are <\/span>10 jobs that make parenting manageable<\/span>.)<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

To determine the most dangerous jobs in the U.S., 24\/7 Wall St. reviewed the 2021 <\/span>Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries<\/span> from the BLS. Occupations are ranked according to the most annual fatal injuries per 100,000 workers. Employment data used to calculate fatalities and injuries per worker came from the <\/span>BLS Employment Projections program for 2021<\/span>. We excluded broad-categories of occupations\u00a0 and occupations with fewer than five reported fatalities in 2021.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Commercial divers, industrial fishers, and almost any type of blue-collar job in the country\u2019s oil and gas fields are also high-risk occupations. The list also includes lower-pay jobs like taxi driver, tree pruner, and roofer, as well as jobs in other mechanical trades like farm equipment mechanic, power-line installer, and elevator repairers. (Also see, <\/span>domestic workers hold the most jobs in these 12 states<\/span>.)<\/span><\/p>\n
