low risk profession
It can be, for teachers in comfortable suburban schools where the students are generally well behaved.
For teachers in dangerous, urban schools with severe disciplinary and even criminal issues (gangs, violence, drugs, etc), it is not so low-risk.
- Retric 10y agoI suspect there is a similar increase in risk for inner city garbage collection. No. 9: Police and sheriff's patrol officers Fatalities per 100k: 18.0 No. 7: Refuse and recyclable material collectors Fatalities per 100k: 22.8 Feel free to look for statistics though.
- dsfyu404ed 10y agoIt's probably more representative of the fact that the vast majority of people actively avoid dealing with LEOs for a laundry list of legitimate (for the avoidee) reasons wheras trash men are "normal people." Trash men also spend their day around equipment that can easily kill you if mis-operated. Both spend a lot of time standing on the side of the road but far fewer people will perform absurd traffic maneuvers to pass a cop that's stopped in the right lane. IMO it's fair to infer that minute for minute standing on the side of the road behind a garbage truck with orange lights moving a trash bin is more dangerous than standing on the side of the road in front of a cruiser with blue lights harassing a motorist.
