The mining, construction and heavy metal handling industries are the most dangerous jobs or harmful in Mexico. Although it is also true that salespeople in self-service stores are more prone to accidents than food preparers in the food industry, builders in engineering works, and even more dangerous than manufacturers of metal products.
Among the most dangerous workers, along with salespeople, are land transporters. Uber, taxi and truck drivers were found to be more likely to be involved in workplace accidents, commonly due to driving heavy machinery, under conditions of fatigue or high traffic stress.
Mining is one of the most dangerous jobs in Mexico
Although there is an industry that is little talked about, the one that earns little and takes a lot and that is mining. According to a study carried out by CNN, of every 10 thousand miners, 107 suffer an accident in the extraction of silver, gold, mercury, copper, antimony and lead. Of every 10 thousand jobs related to the extraction of coal, minerals and non-metallic graphite, 41 suffer accidents.
Hearing loss is one of the most common conditions at work
These dangerous jobs are usually not taken with the necessary seriousness regarding health issues, since they are considered easy to do or are very well paid. This is the case of the miningin which it is commonly forgotten to mention the repercussions that this type of work can have in the long run.
Among the most common conditions in any job, hearing loss topped the list. This is the decrease in hearing capacity, caused by being exposed to sound environments that exceed 90 decibels. Companies are the ones that have the responsibility of taking care not only of the immediate health of their employees but also of identifying the wound frequency or discomfort that, in the long run, could reduce the quality of your life.
