Yep. When it comes to dirty, heavy, stressful &dangerous jobs typically undertaken by men & women,nursing &carework narrow the gap for women https://twitter.com/ElizabethKhan/status/927506636540993536 …
If you want to compare solely on death rates, men are still way more likely to die at work, yes.

What else should we compare by? Are there good stats on work related non-fatal injuries?
-
I was talking about not forgetting nurses and carers in terms of dirty, heavy, stressful & dangerous jobs.
-
Perhaps it's because I know a lot of nurses and other HC workers but I don't think people think of their jobs as clean & stress free.
-
OK, well this started with a study which said women avoid jobs which have contact with pathogens including faeces & open sores. I disagreed
-
Also, I have had a lot of rightist loons tell me men earn more than women coz women avoid dirty, stressful, heavy & dangerous jobs lately
-
So I am pointing out the problem with this. I do not deny that way more men die at work or that they do the most physically demanding work.
