The Most Dangerous Jobs in Fort Lauderdale — And How to Protect Yourself with the Right Insurance

Here are just a few high-risk occupations we see regularly in the Broward County Insurance Realm:

1. Construction Workers & Roofers

With constant development in Fort Lauderdale and neighboring Broward cities like Hollywood, Oakland Park, Lauderhill, etc, construction crews and roofers are exposed to fall hazards, heavy machinery, and electrical risks on a daily basis.

2. Tree Trimmers & Landscapers

Storm prep and palm tree maintenance are year-round jobs here — but working at heights and near power lines is dangerous work, especially in our populated beach towns like Lauderdale-by-the-sea and Deerfield Beach.

3. High-Rise Window Washers

Skyscraper cleaning is not for the faint of heart. One mistake can lead to catastrophic injuries or fatalities, making proper coverage essential. What if the weather changes in a pinch?

4. Dock & Marina Workers

Boating is a major industry in Fort Lauderdale, but workers at docks, marinas, and shipyards face slippery surfaces, equipment hazards, and water-related dangers. North Broward Insurance Solutions has Marine Liability products and USL&H Worker’s comp options.

5. Pest Control Technicians

Exposed to chemicals, crawlspaces, and unpredictable environments, pest control professionals are at high risk for both injury and liability.

6. Towing & Auto Repair Professionals

From roadside assistance to garage operations, these workers face fast traffic, heavy lifting, and liability for customer vehicles. Broward County zip codes in places like Lauderdale Lakes, Lauderhill and North Lauderdale have the highest instance of accidents on Florida roadways.
