In the office, not at all.
Travelling and on site can be very dangerous, particularly in Asia, health and safety doesn't exist. Couple of times I have refused to do the job once I've got there unless they make changes to make it safer. |

"Depends how pissed the wedding party gets. The most I'm at risk of is a black eye from an overly d*unk reveller.
And the odd straying, groping hand ? "
I've photographed many weddings, that's yet to have happened. It is a hazard to consider though. |

"Is your job?.."
It depends how reckless you are. We have a machine that cuts the ground like a big saw that could easily cut through a person if they get too close to it. Also it goes through gas, water, electric cables for fun.
Then that's what happens on roads. |

It comes and goes depending on which projects I'm working on. At times it is potentially very, very dangerous. I have worked with everything from liquid oxygen, various cyanides and intentionally generating conditions where test rigs go into flashover and eject hugh jets of flames. |

My job is not at all dangerous,
What I work with is.. It's poisonous and will instantly turn you into a pink mist if you mess with it but we all know those risks well and know how to work safely..
My drive to and from work, now that's dangerous.. there are so many muppets in a hurry to die. |

"About as un-dangerous as a job can be 
Don't underestimate the seriousness of papercuts, also 6 people last year received medical treatment (germolene) for stapler related injuries "
I can't believe I've been so cavalier for all these years |

"I used to think it was very safe however experience has taught me that not all danger us physical."
Yes! My job can have a definite emotional impact that can be damaging. |

For myself it's very much low level, part of my job is ensuring others are protected as well as possible, if i chose to volunteer for some roles then the risk levels would increase massively but so would the pay.

It can be lethal in many situations both to myself and my customer if I do not carry out the necessary safety checks in certain circumstances..
Also, generally being a twat and fucking about or just not paying attention can lead to either mild discomfort right through to agonising pain, loss of limbs or an executing end through blood loss. But mostly I try not to do that. |

Hmmm, depends on how much of a dick you are!!
I did once take a burner out of a heating tube and light it.. the 20ft flame was awesome.
Felt like I was in the matrix with a lightning gun 
Anyone need there boiler serviced   |

Not at all, unless i lose control of my biro or the photocopier goes on a rampage.
I do have steep stairs to climb to the office though, so just waiting on falling down them. |

not very usually,though i've had a plates of food chucked at me, been hit with a walking stick, and one one memorable occasion, grabbed by the throat..I'm more at risk from the lack of sleep most of the time.. |

"Is your job?.."
Now, not at all dangerous, but in a previous incarnation I did check on casualty rates for WWII, the Korean, Vietnam and Iran-Iraq wars.
It remains dangerous for the individuals that I have interaction with every day. |
