Asalaamualaykum - Shukran jazeelan for the clarification.
The job would not be regarded in the category of "Self Harm". Self harm is where a person intends and carries out the action of harming themselves alone. They are totally responsible for this action.
What you talking about here is "unpredictability".
The case argument will open if that if this job was regarded haraam to go into, then what about other jobs like a policeman, soldier, Aid worker in a war torn country etc. Although a danger might be associated with a job or even have a frequent track history of being in harms way, it would not qualify as a Haraam job based on the pretext of "Self Harm".
It might qualify in Fiqh as inadvisable but not Haraam.
Another argument to prove the conclusion, is that lets say person X works in America and person B works in Australia. Both work on building construction sites. The Health and Safety rules in almost every country will differ at some point. What Fiqh ruling would one use when classifying either job to be haraam when the very health and safety issues are man made in each country accordingly?
If you ponder on this - you will realise that even a nurse will doubt that shariah validity of her own job based on the fact that she can contract various amount of diseases, for that matter even a Doctors job will be put to question.
So, the job cannot be considered haraam.
Wasalaam.
