The jobs I thought would be more risky (construction work, heavy truck driving) could barely touch the others. Interested? Take a look:

1. Laborers and Freight / Stock / Material Movers (Okay, lots of heavy lifting involved, so no surprise here).

2. Office/Administrative Workers (Huh?!?)

3. Sales Staff (Again, huh?!?)

4. Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers

5. Nursing Aides / Orderlies / Attendants

6. Janitors & Housekeepers (I thought this would have ranked higher)

7. Construction Workers (Also would have thought this would rate higher)

8. Nurses (Being married to an ER nurse, I know that your chances of being assaulted are pretty much a daily work hazard. Of course, I don’t suppose this is the case all across the nursing board. But still, nursing can be dangerous, for sure.)

So what do you think of this list? Is your job on here?
