Embalmers

Dead bodies contain tons of bacteria and contaminants. Embalmers are exposed to these bacteria during an operation. Add to it the fumes they may inhale from formaldehyde which is an essential chemical for embalming. Despite the risks involved in the job, embalmers are needed in society to give the dead a proper burial. It’s not an attractive position to be in and definitely won’t be convincing even we build a unique website for it. But we salute these people.

Waste Water Treatment Plant Operators

People who work for a wastewater treatment center are exposed to both biological and chemical hazard daily. Even if they wear mask bought from stores with coupon and discount codes on products, they are still exposed because the contaminants in the air are relatively at a molecular level. Needless to say, water processing is essential for the environment, thanks to the people who make water processing happen.

Chemical plant System Operators

Exposure to chemicals is highly hazardous to one’s health. We have seen from the news the “chemical splash” incidents which left major injuries to employees. The steam and fumes put pressure on the lungs. They cause the lungs to develop watery bubbles which may lead to cancer. This is a kind of profession that should be taken short term. We highly suggest that you find out what things to do in Amsterdam, and learn about other jobs out there that pay with lower health risks compared to this.

Hospital Staffs

Some people hate going to the hospital because of the hospital smell. For some, going there is like smelling the scent of death. We have this perception because it has some truth to it. Medical staffs have to attend to patients who have contagious diseases. Their exposure to biological hazards is high. So if you are working in the medical field, keep your immune system strong. Take vitamins and get enough rest.
