Above and Under Water

Metal casters have to cope with high temperatures. Their job is to turn liquid metal into hard shapes, whether for mechanical engineering or the automotive industry. Working as a metal caster or melter is therefore not even possible without protective clothing.

Muscle and Brainpower

Wind power service engineers must not be afraid of heights. Because their workplace is around 100 meters above the ground, on the operating nacelle. They must not have weak nerves, either during maintenance or repair, because no scaffolding will help them where they work.

In Flora and Fauna

Road construction project manager Heiko Schmidt knows that his men are under time pressure, because the important capital traffic artery has to be accessible again as soon as possible.

Between Noise and Dust

Arborist Steven Othold and his colleagues not only have one of the toughest jobs of all, but also one of the most dangerous. Because they have to climb trees and operate razor-sharp saws in the treetop.

Torsten Becker works as a farrier. While working on horses, Becker always has to be on his guard, because if the horse kicks him, an injury is guaranteed. Bruises, broken bones and burns are typical injuries in his job.
