Which Jobs involve contact with dangerous subtances?

AYB

Whicha Job does not requirespecialistclothing?

While window cleaning may not seem like a risky profesión, how about doing it while dangling
hudreds of metres off the ground? This is exactly the way of life for skyscraper window cleaners
who strive to keep skylines glitening across the globel Unlike conventional window cleaners, those
working on skyscrapers must be certified to do so. this is because they have to operete complicate
mechanisms for their scaffolding equipment. They must also be trained in proper safety
procedures including approprite chemical use (industrial cleaning products can pose a health risk)
and most importantly, fall prevention. Well, when you are handing from some of the world´s
tallest buildings, its probably best to be prepared.
B

There are few Jobs as unappealing and quite frankly dangerous, as being a hazmat driver. The job
involves diving into sewage systems, toxic spills and even nuclear reactors in order to fix clogs or
carry out maintenance. Divers are protected from the hamful substances using pressurised suits
designed to prevent contamination. They are also vaccinated on a regular basis against a variety of
diseases found in waste materials. The work itself is challenging since it is imposible to see in the
murk, so divers must rely on touch alone to fix faults. This means they are often skilled engineers
and technicians who are able to work in challenging conditions. The bringht side of all this filthy
Works is that it is very highly paid, but then again so are a variety of office Jobs.

When most people see a wildfire, they do their best to flee the área. But a smokejumper does
exactly the opposite and dives straight into the flames. Working from june until october when fires
tend to break out, these firemen are the First on the scene of wildfires in remote parts of the
wolrd. They race to the área in high-speed jest and then parachute towards the raging inferno in
order to extinguish the flames! Although this may sound pretty dangerous, smokejumpers actually
have an excellent track record of safety. This is mostly due to their fireproof jumpsuits as well as a
thorough training programme. This training must be refreshed on a regular basis and tends to take
place in the Winter during periods of fire inactivity.

Forseveral weeks during autumn and Winter, the freezing Waters of the Bering Sea become
crowded with fishermen. The goal: Alaskan King crab, which can only be caught in the midst of a
stormy sea! This lucrative bisiness earns some fishermen $50,000 for just a few days work;
however, due to the harsh conditions, it has also been dubbed the most dangerous job in America.
The hours are long and arduous, while the many risks include catching hypothermia due to the
cold, falling overboard and becoming tagled while dispatching fishing lines. In order to prevent
injury, all workers must wear protective clothing and have Access to flotation devices and safety
equipment on board. However, because of the unpredictable weather conditions, many accidents
continue to occur year afther year.

Si bien la limpieza de ventanas puede no parecer una profesión arriesgada, ¿qué tal si lo haces
mientras cuelgas a cientos de metros del suelo? Esta es exactamente la forma de vida de los
limpiadores de ventanas de rascacielos que se esfuerzan por mantener los rascacielos brillando a
través del globo. A diferencia de los limpiadores de ventanas convencionales, quienes trabajan en
rascacielos deben estar certificados para hacerlo. esto se debe a que tienen que operar
complicados mecanismos para sus equipos de andamios. También deben estar capacitados en los
procedimientos de seguridad adecuados, incluido el uso apropiado de productos químicos (los
productos de limpieza industrial pueden representar un riesgo para la salud) y, lo más importante,
la prevención de caídas. Bueno, cuando usted está entregando desde algunos de los edificios más
altos del mundo, probablemente sea mejor estar preparado.

Hay pocos trabajos tan desagradables y francamente peligrosos, como ser un conductor de
materiales peligrosos. El trabajo implica zambullirse en sistemas de alcantarillado, derrames
tóxicos e incluso reactores nucleares para reparar obstrucciones o realizar mantenimiento. Los
buzos están protegidos de las sustancias peligrosas mediante trajes presurizados diseñados para
evitar la contaminación. También se vacunan de forma regular contra una variedad de
enfermedades que se encuentran en los materiales de desecho. El trabajo en sí es un desafío ya
que es imposible ver en la oscuridad, por lo que los buceadores deben confiar solo en el tacto para
corregir las fallas. Esto significa que a menudo son ingenieros y técnicos capacitados que pueden
trabajar en condiciones difíciles. El lado positivo de todos estos trabajos sucios es que está muy
bien pagado, pero también lo son una variedad de trabajos de oficina.

Cuando la mayoría de las personas ven un incendio forestal, hacen todo lo posible por huir del
área. Pero un paracaidista hace exactamente lo contrario y se lanza directamente a las llamas.
Trabajando desde junio hasta octubre, cuando los incendios tienden a estallar, estos bomberos
son los primeros en llegar a la escena de los incendios forestales en partes remotas del mundo.
¡Corren hacia el área en broma a alta velocidad y luego se lanzan en paracaídas hacia el infierno
furioso para extinguir las llamas! Aunque esto puede parecer bastante peligroso, los paracaidistas
en realidad tienen un excelente historial de seguridad. Esto se debe principalmente a sus monos
ignífugos, así como a un completo programa de entrenamiento. Esta formación debe renovarse
periódicamente y suele tener lugar en invierno durante los períodos de inactividad del fuego.

Durante varias semanas durante el otoño y el invierno, las gélidas aguas del mar de Bering se
llenan de pescadores. El objetivo: el cangrejo real de Alaska, ¡que solo se puede pescar en medio
de un mar tormentoso! Este lucrativo negocio les permite a algunos pescadores ganar 50.000
dólares por unos pocos días de trabajo; sin embargo, debido a las duras condiciones, también ha
sido calificado como el trabajo más peligroso de Estados Unidos. Las horas son largas y arduas,
mientras que los muchos riesgos incluyen contraer hipotermia debido al frío, caer por la borda y
ser etiquetado mientras se despachan líneas de pesca. Para evitar lesiones, todos los trabajadores
deben usar ropa protectora y tener acceso a dispositivos de flotación y equipo de seguridad a
bordo. Sin embargo, debido a las condiciones climáticas impredecibles, muchos accidentes
continúan ocurriendo año tras año.
