Being a logging worker is without a doubt the most dangerous job in America. Having a fatal injury rate of 111 per 100,000 FTE workers makes the job 33 times more prone to danger than the average job nationwide. They work outdoors, and in remote areas like forests, where it is difficult to find quick medical services. They operate power machinery to handle logs, which ironically is reported as the most common cause of death for loggers.
