Different countries annually publish lists of the most dangerous professions. Each country has its own list. Every year workers die or become disabled or suffer from occupational diseases.
What professions do people live the least?
We will use statistics for 2014 as a basis. It should be noted that a dangerous profession is not always associated with daily risk to life. It is also a mistake to believe that the more dangerous the profession, the higher the opportunity to earn as much as possible. more money. No human life should be measured in monetary terms. And even more so, no profession should become the cause of chronic diseases, or those diseases that significantly reduce human life. However, we have included in this list precisely those professions that, by many criteria, are considered both dangerous and noble, one of the most courageous... Taken together, we have the following:
1. Soldier, military personnel
There is such a profession - to defend the Motherland.
If all over the world the first place of “the most dangerous professions” is occupied by fishermen and their fishing itself, then in Russia the situation is more clear. Over the past 5 years, the military profession has risen to the top ranks. A sharp jump up - from 5% in 2010 to 15% today. Experts explain this by saying that last years The situation in the world (and not only in Russia) is very tense. In conditions of severe disagreements between countries, as well as powerful propaganda from outside, many issues have ceased to be resolved at the diplomatic level. The prospect of the development of military conflicts is only increasing. We remember: the supposedly annexed Crimea, the war in Donbass, today also Syria...
2. Shakhtar
Not space, meters of soil above me,
And there’s no time for festive processions in the mine,
But we also own extraterrestrial
And the most mundane of professions...Vladimir Vysotsky: “March of the Miners”
The word “miner” came to us from Germany, as the workers of the enterprise where mining was carried out were called - “schacht” (from German language"mine"). People began mining ore in the 15th century, but the mining business itself had not yet been formed by that time.
Mining in Russia began in the second half of the 15th century under the Grand Duke of Moscow Ivan III. The first expedition to search for minerals went to the Pechora region back in 1491. However, mining received a powerful impetus only during the reign of Peter the Great.
By the beginning of the 20th century, coal production increased from 121 thousand tons in 1860 to 12 million tons in 1900, and in 1913 it reached almost 36 million tons.
The miner's profession is one of the most dangerous, and not only in Russia. The danger lies in the working conditions - on great depth, often in very high temperature, explosions, mine collapses, methane and carbon monoxide poisoning are possible.
Mining is a priority and most important task of the state. But in the pursuit of profit, a serious, pressing problem arises in the difficult work of workers who are exposed to daily risk.
Negligence on the part of officials and government agencies leads to terrible tragedies. Just remember the methane explosions at the Ulyanovskaya and Yubileinaya mines, in the Novokuznetsk district of the Kemerovo region, the reasons for which were the thirst for profit. Let me remind you that at the Ulyanovskaya mine March 19, 2007 After a methane explosion, 110 people were killed.
On the night of May 8-9, 2010, two explosions occurred at the Kuzbass Raspadskaya mine. The accident ended the lives of 71 miners and 20 mine rescuers. Direct only material damage from the accident is estimated at more than $320 million.
"Raspadskaya" December 2, 1997 As a result of a methane explosion at the Zyryanovskaya mine in the Kemerovo region, 67 people were killed. It was reported that the accident occurred during a shift change at the mining face. The main reason was identified as the human factor: the combine operator crushed the miner's self-rescuer (personal protective equipment against toxic combustion products), which provoked an explosion of methane gas that suddenly appeared in the face, followed by an explosion of coal dust.
A week before the explosion, a gas outbreak occurred at the mine, resulting in burns to five workers. However, the operation of the mine was not stopped. Experts note that none of the mine’s management was punished as a result of the investigation.
Miner's Day celebrated on the last Sunday of August
3. Rescuer of the Ministry of Emergency Situations and firefighters
What makes a person a Legend? What did he do during his lifetime? Or memories of him? from the movie "Rescuer"
– specialist in rescuing victims in extreme situations, employee of the system of the Ministry of Emergency Situations. This profession is not easy, but it is very in demand and highly paid.
It includes several specialties: driver, fireman, steeplejack, diver, medic, etc.
Rescuers always have a lot of work: natural disasters, man-made disasters or terrorist attacks, natural disasters, domestic incidents - emergency services employees are obliged to come to the rescue as soon as possible. “...Too many unpredictable risks” accompanies rescuers every day. A risk bordering on the feats that people who choose this profession perform every day.
The elite of domestic rescuers is the Central Airmobile Rescue Squad of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Russian Federation (Tsentrospas), whose fighters fly out on alert to the sites of all the world's major disasters.
For the gradation of professionals there are badges EMERCOM of Russia "Rescuer" international, first, second and third classes.
Firefighter. When extinguishing a fire, there is a high risk of physical injury from collapsing structures, overheating of the body, and poisoning. chemicals. One of the most dangerous professions in the world.
IN Russian Federation Every year, 130,000 fires are recorded, resulting in the deaths of about 19,000 people, including 30 firefighters involved in extinguishing the fire.
Firefighter dynasties. The tradition of continuity in the Russian fire service today is continued by about 50 professional dynasties. It is not uncommon for two to five generations of firefighters, from grandfathers to grandchildren, as well as their relatives and their families, to serve in one fire department. The oldest dynasties of firefighters have a total service record of more than 100 years.
Professional holiday of workers fire department O celebrated in the Russian Federation annually on April 30.
4. Journalists
Evgeny Poddubny, Russian military journalist Mr. President, Russian journalists are flying with us. I promised that you would tell them about life in the White House.
- There is no life in the White House. From the film "The President's Airplane"
According to statistics, two journalists die a week in the world today. This information made available for public viewing in Geneva.
Every year, more than a hundred journalists die around the world for various reasons. After this, someone will have a question about why there are so many occupational deaths in seemingly ordinary activities?
Even in peacetime, these statistics do not decrease, this is due to the fact that journalism is a dangerous profession that involves entering into constant debates with different people who react differently to a particular question and information.
A journalist is present where passions are always heated, where military operations are taking place, where rallies and debates are held. A journalist, sometimes, even reluctantly, can find himself in a hotbed of hostilities or conflicts, thereby walking on fine line between life and death. He is always there where the situation is unstable and passions are intense.
Journalism is a very dangerous profession associated with the death of innocent professionals who die in hot spots and unstable states. Yes, undoubtedly, soldiers die more often than journalists, but journalists, unlike soldiers, are completely unprotected, and their main weapon is a notepad and pen, the word...
According to statistics, more than 400 journalists were killed / killed in Russia from 1993 to 2009 alone.
The international organization Committee to Protect Journalists presented its annual ranking of the most dangerous countries for journalists, in which Russia was in ninth place.
The rating is published on the organization’s website; it determines the percentage ratio of the number of unsolved murders of journalists to the country’s population.
The ranking took into account crimes committed from January 1, 2003 to December 31, 2012. According to the organization, 14 murders of media workers remain unsolved in Russia since 2003, and journalists in the North Caucasus have been the least protected in recent years.
In total, there are 12 countries on the list. The most dangerous countries for journalists are Iraq, Somalia and the Philippines. In addition, it is worth recalling the hottest spots:
1. Ukraine.
Over the past year, Ukraine has become the most dangerous country for journalists. Here is a list of journalists who died in this country in 2014:
February 18 - Vyacheslav Veremiy, reporter for the Vesti newspaper. February 20 - Igor Kostenko, Ukrainian journalist from the Sportanalytic newspaper.
May 24 - Andrea Rocchelli, an Italian photojournalist, died under unclear circumstances while covering the siege of Slavyansk. His translator Andrei Mironov died along with him.
June 17 - Igor Kornelyuk, VGTRK correspondent. His sound engineer Anton Voloshin was killed along with him.
August 6 - Andrey Stenin, photojournalist for MIA Rossiya Segodnya. Along with him, employees of the DPR information unit “IKORPUS” Sergei Korenchenkov and Andrei Vyachalo died.
November 29 - Alexander Kuchinsky, journalist, Chief Editor Donetsk newspaper "Criminal Express", author of the books "Chronicle of Donetsk Banditry" and "Anthology of Contract Murder".
In addition, Ukraine has become the leader among countries in the world in the number of kidnapped and arrested journalists. Reporters Without Borders reports this in its report. According to the report, 33 journalists were kidnapped in 2014, the highest number in the world. The journalists were mostly kidnapped on Maidan, in eastern Ukraine.
The military profession in Russia is now considered the most dangerous. According to the Portal Research Center, Russians are now worrying about the fate of people in uniform and with weapons three times more often than in previous years. Even the profession of a miner began to seem less risky and difficult against this background.
In a survey of 1,000 economically active Russians, 15% named the military profession as the most dangerous at present. In 2010, only 4% of respondents thought so, in 2008 - 5%.
The reason for such dramatic changes in public opinion clear and visible to the naked eye in news feed every day - the “hot spot” is located at the very borders of Russia, therefore, in the eyes of Russians, contract service and the work of career officers is now associated with an obvious threat to life.
One in nine (11%) believe that miners are at greatest risk in the workplace. In 2010, 17% said so, in 2008 -18%.
6% of Russians each pay tribute to the difficult work of Emergency Situations Ministry rescuers and firefighters. The same number of Russians consider the profession of a law enforcement officer, as well as a driver (truck driver, chauffeur, taxi driver) dangerous. In terms of the level of risk to life, politicians, deputies and officials are almost at the same level of the rating (5%).
The profession of a journalist was considered somewhat less risky compared to 2010 - 4% today versus 7% in 2010. In terms of the level of danger, judging by the rating, Russians place the professions of pilots (2%), teachers (2%) and doctors (3%) approximately on par. 1% called dangerous job responsibilities collector, security guard, lawyer, businessman.
23% of respondents named other dangerous professions. For example, a forest feller and Chief Accountant, a diver and aeronautical engineer, a fisherman on the open ocean and a postman delivering pensions without security or protective equipment.
There were also answers of a philosophical nature: respondents called “any profession related to human contacts” dangerous. According to some respondents, it is risky to be an “honest worker.”
6% did not take risks even during the survey and it was not possible to get an answer from them.

The military profession in Russia is now considered the most dangerous. According to the Research Center of the Superjob portal, Russians are now worrying about the fate of people in uniform and with weapons three times more often than in previous years. Even the profession of a miner began to seem less risky and difficult against this background. Read more...
In this article, we will tell you about some of the most dangerous professions in the world. These are people who put themselves in danger every day doing their jobs. And, as a rule, it is infinitely far from the everyday office routine.
The tragic accident that occurred on Chernobyl nuclear power plant 31 years ago, makes it an attractive destination for tourists who go there in search of thrills. Doesn't even stop them high level background radiation. After all, who knows what can be found there now? Such outings evoke an association with the book “Roadside Picnic” by the Strugatsky brothers, and the story, shrouded in an aura of mysticism and mystery, attracts more and more adventurers.
Demand, in turn, creates supply. There are quite a lot now travel companies organize excursion tours to Pripyat, and they all resort to the services of guides to these places.
According to some reports, a one-time excursion through this territory does not cause harm to health and the degree of exposure is comparable to an hour-long flight, however, guides through this area are constantly exposed to residual radiation, which can adversely affect their health.
Taming wild animals is a profession that ranks third on the list of the most dangerous in the Guinness Book of Records.
Even if an animal was born and raised in captivity and has been tamed since childhood, there is always a risk that primal instincts will take over for some reason and the animal will attack the trainer.
The famous Russian trainer Edgard Zapashny said in one of his interviews that when starting a relationship with a woman, he always warns her about how dangerous his profession is, and that there is always a chance that one day he could die at work or receive very serious injuries. When working with predators, it is very important that the animal feels that the trainer is stronger than him. What is meant here, of course, is not physical strength, but rather leadership, strength of character. You cannot show, for example, a tiger or a lion your weakness, otherwise the animal may soon begin to perceive the tamer as a victim.
Of course, not all areas of this profession are dangerous. But those correspondents who specialize in covering the most pressing and controversial topics, those who strive to be the first to be at the epicenter of events, where emotions are running high, really often expose themselves to danger.
One such area is war journalism. Such people regularly find themselves in zones of military conflicts or hot spots. This means that there is always a risk that they could be kidnapped, captured, or simply killed.
In addition, a separate professional area is conducting various types of investigations. And if in the course of such work a journalist manages to reveal carefully hidden facts, his life may be in danger.
There is hardly a person who has never heard of miners. However, not everyone is well aware of the risks this work entails. According to Rostechnazor statistics, in 2016, for every 6.8 million tons of coal mined, at least one representative of this profession associated with heavy physical labor died.
The lungs of professional miners are often damaged by coal dust.
The main percentage of injuries and deaths among representatives of this profession occurs due to unexpected explosions caused by the accumulation of flammable gases, underground fires and collapses as a result of unpredictable rock shifts, as well as methane or carbon monoxide poisoning.
Accidents are also common due to the fact that mine workers simply neglect safety rules.
These are people who, day after day, consciously expose themselves to danger in order to arouse the admiration of moviegoers by surprising them with especially spectacular and spectacular stunts. Although modern technologies allow you to stage many effects without the participation of living people; the demand for such specialists still remains high.
The main areas of their activity are working with fire, high-altitude falls, diving, horse riding, parachute jumping, auto and motor sports, staged battles, aerobatics, fencing and much more.
A prime example of the consequences associated with this work would be Jackie Chan. The brilliant actor is also known for the fact that he often refused the services of stuntmen, preferring to perform complex stunts on his own. As a result, the list of injuries received by the actor during his long acting career is truly enormous: fractures of the arms, legs, back, ribs, nose; damage various parts bodies; numerous burns, sprains, injuries, several dozen concussions, skull injuries - and that’s not yet full list injuries he received during filming.
6. Emergency and search and rescue personnel
Firefighters, rescuers, Emergencies Ministry specialists traveling to places emergency situations, - all these, no doubt, very noble professions are associated with risk to life. Of course, all employees undergo special, thorough training in order to be able to instantly assess the situation and act effectively in extreme conditions, ensuring safety. But, unfortunately, none of them are immune from surprises and accidents.
In addition, such work involves constant emotional stress, because these people daily face the grief and fear of those who have suffered from various incidents and emergencies.
The most dangerous professions are often related to military affairs, and sapper is one of them. It is also relevant in peacetime - shells left over from the Second World War are still being discovered. In addition, explosives are used not only during military operations: terrorists, suicides, mentally ill people - all of them can use homemade bombs or bombs purchased somewhere. Every day there are reports of allegedly mined objects, which also require verification.
Disposal of munitions requires very serious training. A sapper must know more than 700 types of explosive devices, as well as the main types of weapons used in the armed forces of various countries.
Those who decide to master this profession must be prepared for the fact that day after day they will have to literally look death in the face. Certainly, protective equipment, used for sapper work, is being improved every year, but even it cannot guarantee one hundred percent safety.
Sherpas, a small indigenous people living in Eastern Nepal, are rightfully considered the best mountain guides. They are so good at mountaineering that the name of this nation has become a common noun - now all guides in the Himalayas are called that.
According to the American Mountain Institute, between 70 and 100 thousand climbers climb Everest every year.
But no matter how skilled the Sherpas are, climbing Everest carries enormous risks. Due to climate change, avalanches and ice blocks are occurring much more frequently. The Sherpas themselves suggest that global warming may soon make climbing Everest impossible due to widespread melting of glaciers.
Permafrost on slopes binds soil and stones together, creating a stable surface. But when it thaws, the ground becomes soft, which provokes landslides and rockfalls, which occur more and more often.
In addition, climbing, relying not on ice and snow, but on soil and bare rocks, is much more difficult, since the use of grappling hooks becomes impossible.
9. Snake Venom Collector
The venom collector stretches a special thin film over the glass and forces the snake to bite it. To do this, venom collectors massage the snake’s venom glands in a special way and collect the resulting venom in a pre-prepared container.
Most often, venom is collected from rattlesnakes, vipers, adders, copperheads and vipers, whose bites can be fatally poisonous.
One gram of dry snake venom costs much more than gold!
Good morning. A military journalist, a rare person. Your profession interested me, this is what I found about it:
In general, the very term “military journalist” once again proves to us that journalism is a very risky business and requires diversified personalities who, as they say, will stop a horse in a gallop and walk into a burning hut. When we hear the word journalist, the thought certainly arises of a girl dressed strictly formally, with excellent diction and often stunning appearance, or an equally attractive guy. But this time we will not be talking about representatives of the fair half of humanity, but about strong, both physically and morally, men, armed with an analytical mind, nerves of steel, a pen and a notepad.
If you turn to a popular reference book, the concept of a military journalist is described very poorly, which is why so little information can be understood. Military journalism today is underdeveloped, or to be more precise, it practically does not exist, but the situation is saved by civilian journalism, which revives new journalistic movements.
The first war correspondent was noticed, back in the days Crimean War, for example, Nikolai Berg, a correspondent for the Moskvityanin newspaper, then followed the military operations to Sevastopol. From the English side, the siege of Sevastopol was covered by the well-known correspondent William Howard Russell (English). During Russian-Turkish War In 1878, the Russian army already had more than two dozen Russian and foreign correspondents, and during Russo-Japanese War 102 Russian correspondents and 38 foreign ones visited the Manchu armies.
Today there is no department or full-fledged specialty of a military journalist, thank God there is no such need. However, in order to become a military journalist it is not at all necessary to have a special education; it is enough to simply obtain a regular higher education at one of the country’s universities, and then begin self-study in this field.
Based on the name, it is clear that a military journalist does not sit in the office of a television company and does not film concerts of popular stars; his work is much more complicated, based solely on luck and fate.
It is not realistic to become a war journalist without ultimately being in the very center of hostilities; despite the fact that you sift through a lot of information, it is possible to receive a real “rank” only after being at the scene of hostilities.
This is definitely scary. First you need to prepare yourself, both mentally and physically, the main criterion with psychological point vision - a steely psyche, because we are not going to talk about how soldiers are trampling on the parade ground, our goal is to get information from the hell itself, and there we will have to see a lot: painful death, murder, etc. The chilling stories of those who visited Chechnya once again prove that a mentally weak person in such a situation can simply fall into panic, and in this case one can naturally forget about journalistic activity. The second criterion for a successful war journalist is a physically strong physique and endurance. There is no need to discuss this, because everything is already clear. And lastly, it’s very good if you have served in the army and you know some types of weapons, martial arts, a journalist needs to be able to do everything, because the personality is diversified.
My gratitude and respect for your work.
Members of the emergency rescue squad of the city of Uren, the fire crew on duty PCH-160, the inspector of the traffic police service, specialists from the youth sector of the culture department and the information and diagnostic center of the UO, volunteers from the VO "Initiative" were preparing the site for competitive tests from early morning. The training track, decorated with flags, has been transformed: special equipment, washed to a shine (fire truck, emergency vehicles, traffic police, private security), lined up like at an exhibition, waiting for little visitors and their parents. The asphalt strip of the training road turned into an obstacle course with elements of fire-fighting sports, and the birch alley became an obstacle course with a suspended crossing and crossing on parallel ropes. A real road intersection with pedestrian zebra crossings and a live traffic controller appeared on the site traffic in uniform and with a striped staff in his hand.
Everything was ready for competitive testing. They were waiting for the participants themselves. The silent picture came to life when, at the appointed hour, noisy, friendly, passionate family teams, along with fans, appeared on the site. Guests of the competition also came up - the head of the Urensk city administration V.Ya. Gorishny and the head of the Regional Department I.I. Spirin, ready to support the teams and wish them good luck.
And on an improvised stage with a creative presentation of the profession “Let them teach me!” family teams appear one after another. A team called “Rescue Brigade” - the Gritsev and Krasikov families (d/s "Teremok") - vividly and figuratively spoke about the profession of a rescuer. Every child should know how to act in case of a fire, what happens when you don’t know how to swim, and who will come to the rescue if you are in trouble!
Members of the “Staff Traffic Police Crew” team - the Ratov and Lednev families (family club “Superkids” of DDT) - approached the presentation of the profession of a traffic inspector with great humor, but at the same time gave important tips parents and children how to behave on the road. If you are a driver, if you are a pedestrian, even if you are a small passenger, everyone must follow the rules of the road!
The “Fire Crew” team included the Serov and Sokolov-Kuzmin families (d/s “Skazka”). They proved to everyone that the profession of a firefighter is not at all what most ordinary people imagine it to be: “the soldier is sleeping - the service is in progress.” They very clearly (dance!!!) showed how difficult it is for fire fighters in a combat situation during a real fire. And to confirm their words, right during the competition, the fire crew PCH-160 received an alarming call: in the village. There's a fire! And our firefighters immediately went to the call to the sound of the alarm siren, possibly to save someone’s life. This is what the profession of a firefighter really is!
“Emergency brigade” - that’s what the Zharkov and Umarov families called their team (d/s “Orlyonok”). They spoke great about the profession of an emergency physician. Service “03” arrived to help a patient with a temperature of 40° almost instantly. Professional doctors took a businesslike approach to saving the patient: diagnosis, choice of treatment method, bandage over the entire head and conclusion - if the patient is silent, it means he is not complaining about anything.
But “Along with the Police” (d/s “Yolochka”), which was represented by the Litsov and Rostov families, had to take part in the actual detention of the criminal and the investigation of the crime. Police service is sometimes both dangerous and difficult!
The audience was delighted, and the participants had to show their best best qualities: team spirit, endurance, mutual assistance in competitive tasks. And, you know, we did it! We completed a series of tasks in the “My First Height” competition (with a game test about the world of professions) and demonstrated in practice knowledge of traffic rules: mothers on bicycles and children on scooters on the “roadway” worked miracles of figure driving, but fathers, as it turned out, did not They forgot how to correctly interpret the signals of a traffic controller at an intersection. In the “Labyrinth for extreme sports” task, family teams demonstrated how important it is to feel a partner’s shoulder nearby, to feel the support of the team when you need to speed through an obstacle course or transport the entire team “from shore to shore” in extreme conditions.
As it turned out, the “boevka” (the professional uniform of firefighters) is very suitable for every dad (in uniform they looked like heroes), mothers were very impressive in mountain rescue gear (they looked better in “gazebos” and “harnesses” than in swimsuits on the beach , and the protective helmet on their heads emphasized their attractiveness). Well, the kids were interested in participating in everything together with their parents. They generally liked everything.
The culmination of the module was the best entertainment for the little one - she was allowed to use special equipment. Adults - firefighters, rescuers, police - let them look, touch, press interesting buttons, turn on the siren, talk into a signaling device, try to cut metal with special rescue scissors, and each also told about their special car, about their service, which, of course, people really need.
Results of the 3rd module “Extreme Professions”:
1st place was shared by the family teams of the Gritsevs and Krasikovs (d/s “Teremok”) and the Ratovs and Lednevs (family club “Superkids” DDT);
2nd place - the family team of the Zharkovs and Umarovs (d/s “Orlyonok”);
3rd place was taken by the family team of the Litsovs and Rostovs (children's school "Yolochka");
4th place - the team of the Serovs and Sokolovs-Kuzmins (d/s “Fairy Tale”).
