Logging is the third most dangerous career, according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics.
There are 93 deaths per 100,000 workers according to information available on the ClassesandCareers.com education portal, putting the profession behind fishermen and military servicemen.
Loggers are at risk from falling objects during cutting and transporting trees according to the information, as well as working in difficult locations on steep hills in arduous condi-tions.
Other jobs on the list include, pilots, structural iron and steel workers, refuse collectors, farmers and ranchers, electricians, truck drivers and construction workers.
A recent UK television documentary challenged three career women to try logging in British Columbia, with two of the three participants successfully completing the task and felling a tree in the forest.
