Okay, you've most likely heard about the most dangerous jobs. Fisherman, logger, farmer/rancher, construction worker, firefighter and roofer are typically listed amongst the most dangerous jobs in America. A recent tragedy in India is a stark reminder that even some of the most seemingly innocuous jobs pose a threat to the safety of workers. It is important that workers understand the safety hazards they are exposed to and they should be trained on proper protocol should something go wrong. Often, a bad situation gets worse when workers try to help a co-worker in danger, as is the case in this story...
6 People Drown in Giant Vat of Ketchup was reported last week by SafetyNewsAlert.com. Apparently, a worker slipped and fell into a 20-foot deep tank of fermenting vegetables. Five workers then jumped in to save her. All were overcome by fumes and drowned. Two more workers were hospitalized. Tragic.
