Depending on the process used, production itself can be dangerous. Last I checked semiconductor jobs though didn't get close to danger of other jobs. Roofing? Lumber? Lots of dangerous jobs out there.

There is another reality however.

SMIC got sanctioned by the US government. Lets not forget about huawei situation. TSMC got double and triple booked. Hence why the USA is running their navy through the straight and super worried China is about to invade Taiwan... even though... it is china... no countries on Earth actually recognize Taiwan as a sovereign nation.
USA, Japan, Korea obviously do have lots of fabs. There's billions of $ from all western countries going into producing new fabs all over. Intel RiscV!!!
There seems to be a bottleneck and there are an awful lot of triggers ready to pull over this.
The current semiconductor industry is dangerous to work for, but when these billions of new fabs get built. The oversupply of semiconductors will make working there very safe.
