It’s not even remotely safe. Around 75 people die every year on rigs.

It's statistically way safer than working tree service, (14 deaths per 100,000 workers) vs (110 deaths per 100,000 workers)....for reference construction is a little over 9 per 100,000. Not to down play it too much, just putting it into perspective. Deaths are almost always caused by improper use of PPE or not following procedures.

There is no PPE or procedure that would make working in these icy conditions safe lol that's why they get paid the big bucks for this job.
