I know the old adage is never to do it because it burns bridges, but let's say your safety is at risk, or something else. What reasons are there that make it okay to leave on the spot?

you'd need to be more specific on your safety is at risk.. I would always say to give two weeks notice, if you can't stand the place then you could always use up your PTO before your effective date.

Failure to pay...
physical violence/threats
unsafe working conditions (Like someone welding near propane tanks and you inform the management of this and they do nothing)

It is reasonable to refuse to work if you do not feel safe at work.

A temp job. Hey if the company isn't committed enough to me to hire me permanently I'm not committed enough to them to give notice when I leave.

When the boss addresses the team and says anyone can leave now if they want. I've actually had that happen, lol

When ever you want. If they were going to fire you, they would give you 0 notice. You do not owe them anything.
