EDIT: Sewer cleaner, but probably worse than you think. From the Daily Mail:
The sewer cleaner in Dhaka has to dig around in the sludge to clean out the city's sewers, a thankless task The worker plunges into the sludge to clear out the city's sewers and spits out the dirty water The poor worker is only provided with a stick for safety and plunges into the hole topless and without a mask Workers are often surrounded by cockroaches, and have no masks to protect him from the poisonous fumes The worker has to clean the muck from the drains in Dkaha with his bare hands In up to his neck: The worker goes deep into the hole knowing he could drown if caught in a sudden rush of sewage Despite a rise in the number of deaths of manhole workers, they go into the manholes without any protective gear
