In 2018, more than 1,000 Russians died in the workplace. The Federal Statistical Service (Rosstat) analyzed accident data and identified the most dangerous professions in Russia. And the experts of the job search site Adzuna.ru studied mortality at work in terms of risk and financial benefits. We present you the rating of the most dangerous professions in Russia.

In the 2019 ranking, there was no place for firefighters, sappers, or rescuers - those professions that are traditionally considered life-threatening. The areas of activity that we used to consider peaceful and mundane turned out to be really dangerous. So, most fatal accidents - 256 - occurred last year at manufacturing plants and construction sites - 190 accidents.

However, most of the most dangerous professions in the world do not carry significant risk rewards. Miners risk their lives for 52 thousand rubles a month, and lumberjacks earn a little more than 37 thousand rubles. The exceptions are pilots and officers of sea-going vessels, whose monthly income is ten times higher than the average salary in the country.

How much does wage correlate with its danger

Unfortunately, employers rarely pay extra for hazardous work. The labor market - like any other market - is mainly regulated by supply and demand. The highest salaries are in those industries where there is fierce competition for personnel, and employers are forced to offer ever higher salaries and favorable working conditions.

A classic example is airlines that are experiencing an acute shortage of pilots, especially experienced ones, due to the fact that Russian pilots are successfully poached by foreign airlines and the significant increase in air traffic in Russia. By the way, it was the profession of the pilot that turned out to be the most dangerous according to the results of last year. But most professions with high injuries and mortality in the workplace - builders, miners, loggers, etc. - receive a salary that does not differ much from the national average.

What works are from this point of view the most “ungrateful”

The most ungrateful were agricultural work, especially in livestock. According to Rosstat, agriculture remains one of the lowest paid industries, which is also confirmed by Adzuna.ru. Also ungrateful are the areas of logging, woodworking, fishing and hunting.

How much does the remuneration for hazardous occupations differ in Russia and abroad?

If we compare wages for dangerous professions in Russia and the UK, in most cases the difference will be significant. So, the average income in agriculture in Russia is about 32.5 thousand rubles a month, and in the UK a little more than 2100 pounds (about 170 thousand Russian rubles).

The average salary of builders in Russia is about 42 thousand rubles a month, and in the UK - about 250 thousand rubles (3,130 pounds). But pilots in Britain earn only 35% more than their Russian counterparts - 578 thousand rubles (about 7200 pounds) versus 420 thousand rubles a month.
