Roughnecks make like 15 bucks an hour. But they generally get time and a half overtime, per diem, and then work 12s until the well is finished. Drills can take up to two months if they are deep and complicated. It ends up being decent money. If you hang around enough you can move up to Well Site Manager and roll 1200/day.

Better than on the highway, props for that. I read about a big plane landing on a highway in the States, once. Did not end well for anyone.

Burt Sexual posted:Looking at this and all the chains flying, heavy steel being thrown around, I remembered that garbage man was the most dangerous job or something and like miles above being a cop. Someone should have that stat. Mist be per capita or something because I’d die the first day as a roughneck. Have garbo deaths dropped a lot now they stay in the cab and use a robot arm on the bins?

FuturePastNow posted:I would have guessed fire fighters to be higher, but I guess it makes sense that if a firefighter gets hurt, there are likely to be a bunch of other firefighters with first aid training and gear right there with them. When I trained as a volunteer firefighter, safety was repeatedly stressed as being the #1 priority at every stage of every procedure. If poo poo burns because you were busy being safe then that is 100% acceptable.

MRC48B posted:I'm not surprised by the firefighter stats at all. actual fire callouts have dropped massively over the last few decades. 90% of fire department responses are EMS calls same but because its the us and 90% of the fire fighters are hank hill moron volunteers or prisoners. both of which wouldnt be counted because they arent being payed to do it so it isnt their job.

tak posted:Yeah it's up there, behind ground maintenance and taxi drivers What's up with the ridiculously high deaths per 100,000 in the US? Looking at stats for Australia (from https://www.safeworkaustralia.gov.au/) we have 11.2/100,000 deaths for agriculture, forestry & fishing industries compared to somewhere between twice as many to over 8 times as many deaths in the US according to that chart. Overall fatalities are about 3 times as bad in the US with 3.2/100,000 against 1.1/100,000. Seems like a crazy difference and I don't feel like we have a particularly strong safety culture over here or anything.

I'd guess it's those are industries dominated by under paid immigrant labor. Also America really doesn't give a poo poo about labor, only money

The US has an ok safety culture of like PPE and guarding against acute individual injury but we'll let the whole job site explode to save a nickel so long as everyone's wearing gloves while it happens

That has to account for a bunch of the US agriculture deaths.

CaptainSarcastic posted:I figured the danger factor made it OSHA. I did that but additionally i had to turn the key in the ignition as hard as possible and hold it there because that was the only way to get around the steering lock. This meant i only had one hand to steer with power steering that wasn't working. Those were a fun couple of kilometers around some pretty sharp turns!

Cartoon Man posted:Looks about as safe as the waterfall road I posted a while back. looks like a larger scale version of what happened where I live where we got 700mm of rain in a week with 500mm of it being over a weekend. The bottom end of my street had that much water over it and other parts of the mountains had landslides under the downpour that we had. At least one area that had a landslip is still shut cause the local government can't afford to assess the damage before they repair it.
