LOL! Seriously, I remember reading a sci-fi short story which dealt with working on Io and dealing with just such perennial human foibles.

Problem is, the radiation flux from Jupiter is intense at Io's distance. Don't think anyone will remain too healthy for too long bathing their lungs in sulfur and their bodies in hard radiation.

Ben Bova's Jupiter dealt with working conditions around Jupiter. It was pretty nasty work and the staff had to be conscripted.
