Methodology
Jobs shown have been selected for popularity and diversity from a master list of 968 jobs. For each health category, the metrics assigned to the category have been individually scored out of 100 for the master list, and a final index for that category out of 100 created from an average of these metrics.
From there, the selected jobs have been ranked according to their position in that master list, and their score for that category reflects their scoring in the master list, rather than in comparison with the shorter selected list.
The scores shown refer to a total score out of 100, where the lower the score, the safer the position is from that health risk.
For Overall Health, the Safety Scores of all individual categories were combined into a single average and used to rank the jobs.
One area not covered here is ocular health which is very hard to measure as most people aren’t aware of the symptoms associated with eye conditions and they are very hard to diagnose without seeing a professional. Lenstore recommends that you have regular eye checks with an optician and we operate a free eye test scheme in conjunction with Vision Express. Just click through to book your free eye test.
