Lol, this is not a dangerous job.
Roofing is a dangerous job.
I've done roofing for over 30 years and there does not exist a more dangerous job.
We have the highest workers comp rate and most deaths per year.
Working the docks, sigh.
Correct.
Lumberjack, deep sea fisherman, and roofers have the most dangerous jobs in the world.
Nothing else comes anywhere close.
EDIT TO ADD: Looks like coal miners are actually THEE most dangerous, by far.
2.9 deaths per 100 (not 100,000) and 3.9 per 100 for bituminous (asphalt) underground coal miners.
Forgot about lumberjack. My grandfather was a lumberjack. Crazy dangerous.
My great-grandfather was a coal miner.
All those dudes were/are tough AF.
Forgot about the miners. What a dangerous animal going underground is.
I would always prefer to be above ground.
You are right about those men.
My lumberjack grandfather went overseas as a kid. He wasn't even 18 and led a group of other men up a mountain with Japanese entrenched.
Was Luzon and it was hell on earth for those young guys.
He is buried at Riverside. For those unaware, that is west coast Arlington.
Yeah, mining is a different monster all together.
So, as a roofer, we follow OSHA, as all other trade do.
Mining, hehe?
They have MSHA
We pronounce it Misha
Anyway, I have done a lot of work on the mines over the years and went through their above ground safety.
Never the under ground stuff.
Different beast and I forgot about said beast.
Definitely, the most dangerous.
LOL are you smoking crack?

Over the last six years, longshore workers have had a fatality rate of 17.3 deaths per 100,000 employees. This compares to 16.6 deaths per 100,000 for firefighters and 14.9 deaths per 100,000 for police officers.
You're right, not dangerous out all... damn clown.
That's not dangerous compared to roofing, where 60 deaths per year per 100k occur.
I'd be willing to wager money that those longshoremem deaths are mostly avoidable with common sense.
Would love a deep dive into how they died.
A roofer is super aware everyday they go to work that they can die that day.
Doubt those longshoremen go into work thinking the same.
Roofing sucks and I agree is dangerous, but to try and discount longshoreman jobs, is beyond clownish.
You obviously helped out 1 summer on the roof. That doesn't mean you have any idea just what you were dealing with.
Longshoremen jobs is not dangerous. Obviously, as a roofer, my idea of dangerous and yours is a world apart.
YOUR math doesn't seem to add up.
The website you linked to says NOTHING about the stats you claim.
That website is an attorney's website, and the handle lawsuits for longshoremen. OF COURSE they are going to by sympathetic to that job -- BUT ... they do NOT list the stats you cited.
So, your claim is not honest.
Here is a list of most dangerous jobs:

A list of 27 most dangerous jobs:

Police and firemen are on the list, but way down it.
No sign of longshoremen anywhere on there.
But above police and firefighters, we have:
Also on the list:
But no longshoremen.
I wonder if you are lumping longshoremen with "fishermen," which would be quite dishonest to do, since they are very different jobs.
Here is a website that has real numbers for SOME occupations ("deaths per 100,000") --
I don't see "guys who unload ships" on any of these lists.

Here's a graph with Top 10:

No longshoremen on the list.
Not to say it is not a dangerous job. It is. Just not among the MOST dangerous, so their pay should reflect reality, not hype.
Duh, who the fuck said the quote was from them? I posted an article saying it was a dangerous job, and then I posted how many longshoremen die per 100k.
Stop assuming.
You are in frog country.
I am a dumb dumb, but if you attract those frogs?
Be ready, lol!

Is that better for you, jackass? Next time, don't make assumptions.
Remember, the person you just called a jackass is another frog.
We in this fight together.
Throw your anger my way. I was the one to divert and cause change of discourse.
Reason?
I am still alive after close to 40 years of doing a crazy at times job.
Not always, but to be honest, have nightmares sometimes over the crap I did years ago.
Super dangerous shiat.
Other reason?
One of my favorite authors is Eric Hoffer.
He spent his last couple decades as a longshoreman on the west coast.
He did comment on the unions and the dumb dumbs that gravitate to them.
Most injuries were just retards doing retard shiat.
They cared nothing about the company saving a dime.
When I did retard shiat?
It was to save 2k being job costed for a man lift being delivered. Was fully aware of the crazy I was doing.
Hoffer was very specific in his books about the stupidity of the unaware and the causation.
There is a 5 part CBS interview of Hoffer on YouTube. Highly recommend everyone watch it.
It was not released for 50 years, then less than 10 years ago it showed up on youtube.
