Dangerous Jobs

Journalists

Journalists go out to the streets to explore and report what is happening.

 They can face violence and intimidation for exercising their fundamental right to freedom of expression. The range of threats they are confronted to include murder, kidnapping, hostage-taking, offline and online harassment, intimidation, enforced disappearances, arbitrary detention and torture.

Unfortunately, in this profession, the stories covered may result in kidnapping, assault and even death.

The combination of risk factors (such as vehicles, equipment, tools and heights) is something that few other sectors share. However, with all of these risks, there are possible steps that should be taken to reduce or eliminate the possibility of injury or death.

The top ten risks and hazards from working on construction sites are:

• Working at height.
• Moving objects.
• Slips, trips, and falls. Scaffolding. Hazard: When scaffolds are not erected or used properly, fall hazards can occur.
• Noise.
• Hand arm vibration syndrome.
• Material and manual handling.
• Collapsing trenches.
• Asbestos.

Dangerous Jobs

Firefighters face serious risks on the job such as heat exhaustion, burns, physical and mental stress. Additionally, they frequently come into contact with high levels of carbon monoxide and other toxic hazards. With these dangerous exposures, this line of work presents a likelihood for many diseases.

Making money out of tourism has always been a mirage for both locals and visitors

I have seen part of the Costa Blanca being destroyed by tourist industry opportunities.

I regret to see almond and olive fields turned into new neighbourhoods or even towns.

Vast green areas disappeared to make room for a range of accommodation, entertainment facilities, and golf courses. 

Local agriculture yield space to luxury accommodation for over rich Scandinavian or Russian owners who spend short time in their properties or realtors who just assess the profit of their business and ignore the loss of local food production and availability.

The fauna that could be seen or heard in those areas has, of course, vanish, or become extinct due to the disappearing of the migration stations.

Now crowds nudge to get a place near the shore on the beach, a nice view, a cold drink, or a ride in the mechanical attractions.

Water is only possible to obtain thanks to desalination plants, which happens to be a great deal more expensive than rainwater. The latter cannot be expected where 9 stories buildings have replaced forests.

Nobody seems to enjoy watching e masses of people, like you, doing the same kind of dull activities all around.

Whatever that used to call visitors' attention in the past, does no longer exist. Local habits and cultural difference have disappeared due to some Western consumerist social model.

A halt was necessary twenty years ago. Reversion, although difficult, is the only solution to both the environment and industry.
