Researchers at Britain's Southampton University examined more than 40,000 death certificates in an attempt to find a correlation between cause of death and occupation. The results are pretty much what you'd expect (coal miners run an above-average risk of succumbing to pneumoconiosis, people who work in bars are more likely to expire due to alcohol, etc.) But the Independent offers a helpful caution against minsiterpretation, noting that statistical association does not necessarily mean causation:

For example, it is a fact that male hairdressers are much more likely than almost anyone else to die from Aids. But this does not in any case suggest that cutting hair causes Aids, because the statistics also show that women hairdressers are less likely than most people to die from the disease.
