8. Civil Engineering
Collapsed excavations, crashed vehicles, out of control electricity wires are some examples of what civil engineers have to deal with every day.
20 civil engineers died last year.

7. Police Officer
Working in the police is obviously very tough and stressful as you know people are depending on you and it often goes without much gratitude. Every day there’s a range of things you could be doing from chasing down criminals to fighting thugs with the risk of being seriously injured.
It’s hard to relax even off duty as you’re probably on call and are known as being part of the police force.
6. Roofing and Scaffolding
Another job that’s very physically intensive and dangerous. These guys spend all day on roofs so it’s no surprise that so many accidents and deaths occur.
69 roofers and scaffolders died last year.

5. Oil Rig Worker
Oil rig workers work 12 hours a day dealing with highly combustible materials on a platform where cranes swing heavy equipment constantly overhead. It’s very dangerous with an average of 108 deaths a year.
They rarely see family while they work either since they live off land and conditions are usually pretty bad with constant freezing rain beating down on them.
