No really big surprises there. The report also says men die on the job much more than women:
Maybe it’s because men work in more hazardous jobs or maybe it’s because they’re daredevils or just plain stupid risk-takers, but the fatality rate from workplace injuries is more than nine times higher for men than for women: 5.5 per 100,000 for men, compared with 0.6 per 100,000 for women. The B.L.S. reported that 4,021 men died from workplace injuries in 2009, compared with 319 women.
I don't see too many female loggers or roofers, so I can believe to is a combination of men working dangerous jobs and taking stupid risks.
