Chain saw injury. Logging can be dangerous!

Is your job on “The List”? Last month I noticed a flurry of “Ten Most Dangerous Jobs” lists floating around. From year to year when the list is reissued I notice the order changes a little but the same jobs are on the list.

For me, the list puts life into perspective when the most dangerous thing I face in my job is a sore butt from being at my computer too long or wanting to smash my laptop when I see the blue screen of death.

Here’s the most recent list I have seen. I wonder what kind of life insurance rates they get?

1. Logger

2. Pilot

3. Fishermen

4. Iron/Steel Worker

5. Garbage Collector

6. Farmer/Rancher

7. Roofer

8. Electrical Power Installer/Repairer

9. Sales, Delivery, and Other Truck Driver

10. Taxi Driver/Chauffeur

Two major updates in the news recently.

1.The CDC is encouraging people to get the seasonal flu vaccine along with the novel H1N1 vaccine. They are meant to be used together - the regular flu vaccine isn’t going to protect you against H1N1 and vice versa. The CDC site states the novel H1N1 vaccine is still in production and may not be available in the fall to everyone. Most likely specific groups recommended to receive the novel H1N1 vaccine - pregnant women, young children (for full list click here) will be first to get the novel H1N1 vaccine.

2. A recent Hong Kong Study, published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, gave advice that was to “help reduce the transmission of influenza within the household if the measures are implemented in good time.”  So, frequent hand washing and the use of face masks, if used early (within 36 hours of earliest symptoms), can reduce transmission of the illness. Using one or the other is not as effective, they must be used together.

No need to panic. Just be safe and aware.
