So, a job is a job, right? It almost pays the bills, but is your factory job getting you down?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some people love factory work. It\u2019s not so taxing on the brain, there\u2019s not often extreme stress, you can chat with colleagues, and it can be like a family with the same old faces. People who work in factories all their lives often have very happy lives with a strong network of friends and community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And plenty of factory jobs require particular skills, speed and proficiency levels. But Amazon pickers and packers will tell you they barely drink coffee, as they don\u2019t have the time to go to the bathroom and meet their targets.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many factory jobs also require working with machinery, which requires skill, making the job more interesting and varied. But on the downside, working in a factory is almost as dangerou<\/a>s as working on a construction site or in the fishing industry. Often the cause of the fatality is coming into contact with heavy machinery, a clearly gruesome way to go and a shocking thing to witness. Non-fatal accidents are also common in factory settings, often with horrific injuries when heavy crushing machinery is involved, rather than a slip, trip or fall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aside from accidents, if you keep moving the same muscles doing the same thing all day, standing or sitting, you can often develop issues in the arms and legs that can become debilitating over time. Did you know that the excruciatingly painful and debilitating condition of Plantar Fasciitis is very common in factory workers? Research has proved that standing for 10% longer on hard surfaces such as concrete<\/a> increases the risk of the condition by 30%. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So if factory life is getting monotonous for you, too target-focused, too noisy, too dangerous, and you don\u2019t want to develop health conditions, have you considered security work?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only barrier to entry is taking a short course with a 90% pass rate over a week. You can then get your licence and get into an exciting career in the security industry, where no day is the same anymore. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
