For most of us, a dangerous day on the job might involve a steam burn from the office kettle. But for others, work is a daily force to do battle with, filled with hazards that could maim or kill you at every turn.

There were 212 people killed at work last year, according to figures compiled by Safe Work Australia, with 112 people killed on the job this year so far.

Being a soldier ranks as one of the most dangerous jobs in the country.

Here are some of the jobs you may want to think twice about before heading to an interview.

Commercial fisherman

If Deadliest Catch, is any indication, this job is certainly one of the toughest. Workers are miles offshore for weeks at a time, enduring tough physical working conditions and plenty of wild weather. Safe Work Australia reports agriculture, fishing and forestry is a supremely dangerous industry, with 50 people killed on the job last year and 27 losing their life this year so far.

Mining

In this dangerous job,workers are put in long hours surrounded by heavy machinery and toxic chemicals. Five people lost their lives in mining jobs in 2012, a figure already matched in this years results, according to Safe Work Australia.

Road train drivers

Transport is a notoriously dangerous industry with 74 deaths in the last 12 months. Road train drivers accounted for 15% of all road fatalities in 2011 with a total of 200 fatal crashes.

Construction workers

Although it's relatively common, working in construction can be dangerous business. Safe work Australia reports 23 workers died on Australian construction sites last year, with 15 fatalities in 2013 so far. It's also one of the most heavily represented industries when it comes to work compensation claims.

Tree loppers

The combination of unsteady branches, overhead wires and high winds that tree loppers have to deal with make it a particularly tricky job. It's part of the agricultural, forestry and fishing industry in which 50 people died in 2012 with more than 27 killed so far this year.

Farmers

A life on the land might seem idyllic but any farmer will tell you it's tough and dangerous work. Being a farmer or rancher can land you among the top three dangerous jobs in the world.

Defence forces

Police officers and soldiers face the risk of death, assault, injury and abuse on a daily basis. Every year, approximately one police officer is murdered in Australia. There have also been 40 deaths in Afghanistan since 2002.

Firefighters

Firefighters are often exposed to risky situations when fighting the bushfires that flare up each year. The leading cause of death for firefighters often caused by asphyxiation and burns (20%), motor vehicle collisions (20-25%), trauma (27%) and heart attack (44%).

Pilots

No matter how experienced, pilots still face the risk of fatality of things go wrong in the air. The Aviation Safety Transport Bureau reports there were 130 accidents, 121 serious incidents and 6,823 minor incidents in 2011 involving aircraft.

Rubbish collector

You see them once a week out the front of your house but rubbish collectors are doing a tough job that exposes them to heavy machinery, harsh chemicals and a high-risk of traffic accidents.

對(duì)于我們大部分人,上班被辦公室的水壺蒸汽燙到就算是危險(xiǎn)的一天,但對(duì)于有些人來(lái)說(shuō),每天的工作就是時(shí)刻要與死神較量。

根據(jù)澳大利亞安全工作署(Safe Work Australia)匯編的數(shù)據(jù),去年共有212人在工作時(shí)喪命,今年至今已有112人殉職。

當(dāng)兵被列為最危險(xiǎn)的工作之一。

如果你要面試以下職業(yè),請(qǐng)務(wù)必三思:

1. 商業(yè)捕魚(yú)

如果探索頻道紀(jì)實(shí)片《致命捕撈》(Deadliest Catch )能給我們?nèi)魏翁崾,那就是這份工作無(wú)疑是最危險(xiǎn)的一種。工人們每次出海都要在海上停留幾個(gè)星期,飽經(jīng)惡劣工作條件和狂野天氣的折磨。澳大利亞安全工作署稱:農(nóng)業(yè)、漁業(yè)和林業(yè)是極其危險(xiǎn)的行業(yè),去年這幾個(gè)行業(yè)有50人死亡,今年至今已有27人喪命。

2. 采礦

從事這個(gè)行業(yè)的工人長(zhǎng)時(shí)間被重型機(jī)器和有毒化學(xué)品包圍。根據(jù)澳大利亞安全工作署的數(shù)據(jù),2012年有5人死于采礦工作,今年至今也已經(jīng)有5人死亡。

3. 公路列車司機(jī)

運(yùn)輸業(yè)是一個(gè)聲名狼藉的危險(xiǎn)行業(yè),過(guò)去12個(gè)月共造成74人死亡。公路列車司機(jī)占了2011年所有公路死亡人數(shù)的15%,共發(fā)生200起致命車禍。

4. 建筑工人

雖然這個(gè)工種相對(duì)普通,但從事建筑業(yè)也是相當(dāng)危險(xiǎn)的。澳大利亞安全工作署報(bào)告去年有23名工人死于澳大利亞的建筑工地,2013年至今有15人死亡。這也是申請(qǐng)工作賠償最多的一個(gè)行業(yè)之一。

5. 砍樹(shù)工

砍樹(shù)工每天面對(duì)的工作都很棘手,他們要應(yīng)對(duì)隨時(shí)掉下來(lái)的樹(shù)枝、頭頂可能掉落的電線和狂風(fēng)。這個(gè)行業(yè)屬于農(nóng)業(yè)、林業(yè)和漁業(yè)的一部分,去年這個(gè)行業(yè)有50人死亡,今年至今已有超過(guò)27個(gè)工人喪命。

6. 農(nóng)民

在農(nóng)地上耕作看起來(lái)似乎很有田園詩(shī)意,但任何一位農(nóng)民都會(huì)告訴你這份工作既辛苦又危險(xiǎn)。農(nóng)民或農(nóng)場(chǎng)工人是世界上最危險(xiǎn)的三大工種之一。

7. 國(guó)防軍

警察和士兵每天面對(duì)的是死亡、攻擊、傷亡和虐待。澳大利亞每年都有至少一名警察被謀殺,自2002年起,已有40名澳大利亞士兵在阿富汗陣亡。

8. 消防員

消防員經(jīng)常都要面對(duì)危險(xiǎn)情況,林火每年都會(huì)發(fā)生。導(dǎo)致消防員死亡的最主要原因通常是窒息和燒傷(20%)、汽車相撞(20-25%)、創(chuàng)傷(27%)和心臟病(44%)。

9. 飛行員

不管經(jīng)驗(yàn)多么豐富,一旦飛機(jī)在空中出錯(cuò),飛行員依然要面對(duì)死亡。航空安全運(yùn)輸管理局報(bào)告2011年發(fā)生了130起事故、121起嚴(yán)重事件和6823起輕微事件。

10. 垃圾收集工

你看見(jiàn)他們每周一次出現(xiàn)在你家門(mén)前,但其實(shí)垃圾收集工從事的工作很艱難。垃圾收集工要面對(duì)重型機(jī)器、危險(xiǎn)的化學(xué)品和高危交通事故。
