Because you're the minority. I teach these young men that their body is their most important tool and yet they take shortcuts or say, "PPE is for pussies."
Well you just proved my point then. If these "guys" you're talking about didn't take shortcuts with their health and actually wore PPE etc they would be in great shape. It's not the job it's them.
I have a near zero probability of getting a hernia or falling from a lethal height. Plus, I have several family members who were tradesmen with destroyed backs and addicted to pain killers by their 40s. One uncle that was in a coma for 9 months from falling from a ladder and another on disability from wear and tare being a roofer.
working out regularly, eating well, and sleeping well. That's what keep you fit and in shape. That's it. working a manual labor job gets you the excersize part, you gotta do it properly but that task is fullfilled by having a manual labor job. You still need to eat and sleep well and not get addicted to painkillers (that can happen to anyone). An office job fulfills non of the tasks required to be fit. Sure less chance of injury since you're in an temp controlled cubicle. Much higher chance of being unfit though.
