Here 10 Of The Most Dangerous Jobs In Montana

Highlighting The Most Dangerous Jobs In America

Living in an agricultural region, we're aware how fast accidents can happen and how dangerous they can be.

It's not just farm equipment that poses a risk; OSHA has released a list of the most dangerous jobs in America.

What OSHA Does And Why Workplace Safety Matters

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration, better known as OSHA, is the government agency that keeps track of workplace injuries.

While plenty of people might scoff at what seems like overreach from OSHA, I always come back to the quote, "regulations are written in blood."

It means that usually something horrifically tragic happened in the past, and now we have these new regulations to help prevent something similar from happening today.

The Danger Lies In The Job Itself

It's not just accidents, however, that can make these jobs dangerous; it's more the work itself.

More to the point, it's the equipment these jobs require that adds extra hazards that can make them more dangerous.

While OSHA has identified the jobs in the gallery below as some of the most dangerous in America, these are also the jobs that plenty of workers in Montana are performing on a daily basis.
