The Most Dangerous<br />
<strong>Engineering</strong> Jobs<br />
All jobs have its potential dangers,<br />
and with developing technology and<br />
computers in our workplaces, injuries<br />
and accidents at work are decreasing.<br />
However, some jobs in the<br />
engineering and technology field are<br />
more dangerous than others. Many<br />
engineering jobs still involve huge<br />
machinery which needs to be used<br />
safely to avoid accidents.<br />
Here’s a list of some of the most<br />
dangerous engineering industries.<br />
Construction<br />

The construction industry is known<br />
for its strict approaches to health<br />
and safety. If proper safety rules are<br />
not followed or are taken for granted,<br />
accidents may happen and this can<br />
lead to injuries or even death. In the<br />
construction industry, one has always<br />
have to be alert when working. Most<br />
injuries and deaths was due to falling<br />
from heights and being trapped by<br />
something collapsing.<br />
Manufacturing<br />

The manufacturing industry can be<br />
dangerous if process manuals are<br />
not followed or if manufacturing<br />
machines are not operated properly.<br />
Accidents like electrocution, falling<br />
debris, and machine overload could<br />
lead to injuries or worse, death.<br />
Such accidents can also happen<br />
if employees do not wear proper<br />
protective equipment.<br />
Mining and quarrying<br />
This sector can be considered as<br />
one of the most dangerous jobs for<br />
engineers. Different accidents can<br />
happen, such as cave-ins, flood, gas<br />
explosions, chemical leakage, and<br />
even electrocution.<br />
These days, it is important to be able<br />
to work proficiently with both heavy<br />
machinery and computers while<br />
making sure that health and safety in<br />
the workplace is a top priority.<br />
