The Most Dangerous Jobs in the UK
By Jennifer Quirk




Getting out of your warm bed and waddling into work is difficult for the majority of us, but how about those who risk their lives for their job (and not always a great pay packet)? It has been said that for the bulk of the British public the most dangerous part of their job is commuting to and from it every day, so how about being paid to perhaps be one of the 52 deep sea fishermen in 10,000 that die every year.



We have looked into what has been reported to be the top most dangerous jobs done by British citizens. See how your work load compares!



The most dangerous job is to be one of the risk taking deep sea fishermen. As stated above a staggering 52 die every single year! Many people choose to go to this career due to the fantastic pay packets but of course the risk involved and the fact that once you're out there you're stuck, means you need to have a good hard think about before you sign up!



Next on the list of dangerous jobs are bomb squad agents and land mine removers. For a somewhat lowly thirty grand a year these guys risk life and limb to defuse arms and explosives and even risk themselves in war zones where they also risk simply being fired at.



The next position on the list is construction workers. Last year in the UK at least 77 people died from injury and accidents related to construction work. Another way of looking at it is that injuries and deaths in this industry makes up a massive 30% of all those a year within the UK. Bad news for those who work within construction, especially as it has been estimated to go up dramatically as work commences for the 2012 Olympics.
