This survey is the sort of pointless cr*p that shows why statistics are either the bl**dy obvious or damn lies. Did they really need to point out that electrocution is the leading fatal accident for electricians, or that falling off roofs tends to kill Roofers?? They even include cashiers, which it says are less likely than average to result in a fatality at work, in the list of most dangerous jobs.

Surprise, surprise. Working in an office building, I'm less at risk of being killed at work than a pilot. Took a PhD in the bl**dy obvious to work that one out. Now, add in my commute to work. Still reckon you are 20 times more likely to die during the working day than me?
