3 stand out for me:
1) Trinity Industries making big LP tanks. Every one is hydro tested for leaks after all the welding is done. They guy ahead of me on the line drained the water out and rolled it onto a huge burner to cook the remaining water out. I had to roll them off and put plugs in all the bungs and duct tape over the tag and hang it on powdercoat paint line. They came off the burner cherry red on the bottom. I'd burn through a pair of leather welding gloves every day. The shop was 115-120F during the two weeks I did that one summer. Never thought 95f outside would fell pretty good. 2 weeks was all I could do coming home sick and dehydrated every night. Not worth the $10/hr they paid.
2)Local machine shop summer between junior and senior year of HS. Got asked to clean out the sump on a big Blanchard grinder. Went home 2 nights in a row with grinding dust in places where grinding dust ought not be. Nasty, stinky job and the coolant irritated my skin terrible, had a rash to my armpits for a week after that.
3) Installed basement dewatering systems one summer. Long days hauling buckets of busted up concrete, and dirt out of basements and pea gravel and cement back down. The near constant temperature extremes from 65F basement to 90deg+ outside would make you sick. Carrying all that material in buckets would stretch out your arms and compress your spine and legs, seemed like I could touch my knees at night without having to bend down.

When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and
