'''''Occupational Hazards''''' ({{j|たいへんな一日|Taihen'na ichinichi|A Crazy/Hard Day}}) is the title of the third [[Pikmin Short Movies|''Pikmin'' Short Movie]]. The film and credits last a total of 12:45 minutes, making this movie the longest of the three. This movie is about [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] and [[Olimar]] in an old abandoned construction site, scavenging for nuts, bolts, and other sorts of [[treasure]]. During their adventure, they come across a [[Fiery Blowhog]] and a [[Bulborb|Red Bulborb]], which they eventually defeat.

The scene changes to two Blue Pikmin using their leaves as screwdrivers to unscrew two screws. As they twirl their stems, they themselves spin in the air to return to normal; a nearby Red Pikmin becomes dizzy just from watching them. In a different location, a Red Pikmin tosses {{w|grommets}} down a ledge, where another Red Pikmin down below catches them with its stem while a Yellow and a Blue watch nearby. After four grommets, a pile of them fall down on the Pikmin at once, crushing it. This doesn't kill it, however, as it continues to move around, scaring away the other two Pikmin. The Red Pikmin from above falls down on top of it, and [[pluck]]s the Pikmin from the grommets' holes.

At ground level, elsewhere, a multitude of Pikmin are carrying several metallic objects, either by pushing them, carrying them, or rolling on top of them, with one Pikmin even serving as a wheelbarrow. A nut tower made of Pikmin falls down soon after, as a [[White Pikmin]] observes nearby. The camera pans out, revealing hundreds of Pikmin around the area, all working on their tasks. Only one White and two [[Purple Pikmin]] can be seen in this scene.

*The Research Pod's makes the same noises used for the [[S.S. Drake]] in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''.

*When Olimar approaches the defeated Bulborb, a remix of [[The Final Trial]] begins playing.

*In the scene where the Red and Blue Pikmin are running, before they get eaten, but not killed, a police siren can be heard, possibly referencing how police lights are generally red and blue.

*There are a total of 3 Pikmin deaths within the short movies, all of which occur in ''Occupational Hazards''. A Blue Pikmin gets electrocuted, and a Red Pikmin and a Blue Pikmin get eaten by a Bulborb. It's also possible that the Bulborb dies, as its body appears censored before the machine's bucket falls on it.

*As pointed out by Shigeru Miyamoto when unveiling the shorts, this movie features a total of 500 Pikmin on-screen at once{{cite web|http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p{{=}}135833302&postcount{{=}}1|Pikmin shorts coming soon to Nintendo 3DS|NeoGAF|published={{date|25|October|2014}}|retrieved={{date|22|March|2017}}}}, an impressive feat that is technically impossible in the contemporary games, where the [[Pikmin limit]] is 100.
