Many security guards ‘won't see 60’
Report reveals workers who put their lives on the line during terror attacks and other emergency situations have a lower life expectancy than people born in Afghanistan or Iraq
SECURITY professionals in Britain are dying 20 years younger than the national average, new figures published by GMB today have revealed.
A new study undertaken by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) on behalf of the union found that the mean age of death of people aged 20 and over working in security professions is 61.9 years, almost 20 years below the British average of 81.4.
That means that security professionals who put their lives on the line during terror attacks and other emergency situations have a lower life expectancy than people born in Afghanistan or Iraq, which GMB blasted as “absolutely shocking.”
