Chief executives record highest fatal injury rate among low-risk jobs, study finds
Conboy Law Injury & Medical Malpractice Lawyers analysed five years of fatal injury data across 32 office-based, professional and indoor occupations.
Chief executives have the highest fatal injury rate among a group of occupations not typically considered dangerous, according to research from Conboy Law Injury & Medical Malpractice Lawyers.
The study analysed five years of fatal injury data across 32 office-based, professional and indoor occupations, comparing fatality rates to identify risks associated with jobs generally perceived as low risk.
Chief executives ranked first, with 58 fatal injuries recorded over the five-year period and an annual fatality rate of 5.7 per 100,000 workers.
The research attributed the risks associated with the role primarily to business travel, aviation accidents and targeted violence.
Property and community association managers ranked second, recording 69 fatalities and an annual rate of 4.4 per 100,000 workers.
The study highlighted risks associated with evictions, lease disputes and confrontations with residents.
Hotel, motel and resort desk clerks followed, with 25 fatalities and a rate of 1.9 per 100,000. Risks identified included robbery, lone overnight working and workplace conflict.
Material recording and dispatching workers recorded the highest overall number of fatalities among the top five occupations, at 195.
