Re: Nastiest paid Jobs

Nastiest job at my workplace, one I thankfully never had to do, was crushing resin. We'd receive the resin in 1kg blocks (3-500kg in total), and it needed to go through a fitzmill with dry ice to powderise it, so it could then be used later on in production. Horrible job, huge amount of dust, and even with dust masks/goggles/disposable overalls, you still ended up with dust all over you.
An ex-employee, unhappy at being let go, dobbed us into WorkCover over this job (which he never had to do). Inspector came out, saw the equipment, got his head around the process and PPE involved, then asked how often we were doing it. Every day? Once a week? No, once a year. Pfft, as you were! Non issue in his eyes.
