There are thousands of fracking jobs in Pennsylvania, according to May 2010 statistics released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. If fracking expands in the state, more workers will be needed.

 The pay can be good and in a tight job market a fracking job may be appealing. However, before you decide whether this is the right career move for you, it is important to understand the risks associated with fracking. Even if your employer has a strong safety record and tells you that all possible safety precautions are taken, you may still be at risk of injuries related to:

 The trucks used in the fracking process and on the fracking site.

• The heavy equipment necessary for the job.
• Burns.
• Explosions.
• Exposure to harmful substances.
