There's no escaping the fact that this is a dangerous operation. The guys bolting the segments together can easily sustain a solid knock to the head, or get a finger squashed, etc. The helicopter pilot has a lot of responsibility hanging from his vehicle!

There's a difference between "not white collar safe" and "dangerous".

Deck hand on Indian fishing trawler is more toward the dangerous end. This is pretty in the middle. Very few variables are uncontrolled here. Anything involving confined spaces and chemicals is definitely more on the dangerous end.
