There is no such things as the employer will provide a safe working environment. They don't care, it even more true when your safety cost them money.

It depends on the job type really. If it’s something in the food business, you are in a literal death trap every day in the name of some random person’s sense of taste, but if you’re in a humanity job for example, they can’t afford the mentality that would cause the work scene to not accommodate to you.

I was referring to the field/category. Things like soup kitchens and daycare.

Humanitarian? Or care work maybe?

In college and trade school the field is called human services.

I work in agricultural robotics... Our client develops a new harvesting machine, but is unaware of the real danger of it. My boss just want the things done as fast as possible. This expose us to danger. Not really a robotic cell, not really an agricultural machine, something in between, without any direct regulation to cover it because it is new.

Sorry about that. Hopefully they fix that and you live somewhere where they'll be able to. In most relatively well-off countries, usually filing a complaint in court does the job.
