1Sulfur mining

This is one of the most dangerous jobs in the world where people without any protective gear are sent inside the vent of an active volcano. Their job is to mine sulfur and they aren’t even given any protective clothes, glasses, gloves, etc. The pay is even worse for this job as they get less than $5 a day for risking their lives.

4Manhole cover making

Most manhole covers today are made from recycled scrap metals recovered from companies. These are heated, metaled and made into heavy, durable manhole covers. The only issue is that many countries that make them don’t provide their laborers proper protection. They face heat and poisonous gases all day but are usually doing their work without any protective gear.
