Saw that the other version didn't use gender neutral or gender inclusive language. And the quality was pretty shitty tbh.
I used the latest comparable data for work related deaths I could find without much effort: Source.
I added the profession of sex workers even though the available data is not really comparable, but I rated "Lifetime prevalence of [..] workplace violence ranged from 45% to 75%" as probably more dangerous than the ~0,1% yearly death rate of logging workers.
TL;DR: Organize at your workplace to enforce safety standards and maybe establish new ones so less workers die.

It's even less dangerous in most countries that hold training and acceptance to a police service at a high regard.

Great job updating this!
I wonder if these rankings are consistent across countries (ignoring countries where the job simply does not exist, like for instance and as a strong assumption, there is not much logging in Egypt.)

Most likely the rankings are similar but not the same. I think regions with better work safety standards can have way lower injury/death rates in all or atleast some of these professions.

I would have 100% thought Firefighters would be under the top 3 or so.

Me too, but from what I've seen of our very-professional LAFD firefighters, they do take their safety equipment and protocols seriously.

Thats probably because fires do not happen very often

Your source puts Landscaping Workers in the top 5.
I wonder if that includes the guy I watched across the street yesterday 50 feet up a tree with a chainsaw and a rope
