OSHA Reveals Texas’ 10 Most Dangerous Jobs

(KNUE-FM) We all know that Texas is a gigantic state with lots of people with different backgrounds that work in a wide variety of occupations, but most of them have the same common goal, which is to support their family.

There is no doubt, Texans work hard and are often willing to do whatever it takes to get the job done even if that means putting themselves in harm's way. Recently, there was an article created by Kobocents that discusses the 10 most dangerous jobs according to OSHA. OSHA is the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.

They have the data to put together a list like this as they keep track of injuries in the workplace. But as I was looking at the list all of the jobs seemed like an everyday job in the state of Texas. Just proving that Texans are willing to take on any difficult task that needs to be accomplished.
