History NoOSHACompliance / Film

** You would also think Hammond would keep a well-armed security force on standby in case any dinosaurs escape, but nope. The park appears to have no full time security guards. In the novel, he even pitches ten kinds of fits about having any weapon ''on the island at all'' that can injure or kill the dinosaurs! Apparently tranquilizers [[SarcasmMode are sufficient]].

* The title city's underground machine rooms in ''Film/{{Metropolis}}'' fit this trope. Unlike most examples, the fact that the people in charge of the city didn't care about the safety of the workers is a major plot point. In one scene, the main character watches as exhausted workers keep moving dials of a machine to make sure it doesn't overheat. One of the workers collapses. Within seconds the machine overheats and explodes, blasting the poor employees across the room. The main character then imagines that the machine is a pagan god devouring human sacrifices.

** The Galactic Senate on Coruscant is chock full of FloatingPlatforms, [[http://darthsanddroids.net/episodes/0128.html none of which have proper railings]], only an ankle-high border that most likely makes things worse by making it easier to trip and fall to your death. Not helped by the fact that so many people [[CrystalSpiresAndTogas wear robes]].

** The blast doors. These are quadruple-section doors that close in from the corners, leaving an increasingly-shrinking square in the middle. Yes, in the event of decompression or a firefight, these doors need to close quickly for the safety of the onboard personnel (and to prevent pesky intruders from escaping, natch). But if a body (organic or mechanical) gets caught in the opening and mulched by the doors, that's a whole lotta cleaning up involved, and that's if the doors don't jam from all that matter caught in them. An episode of ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'' has a Clone Trooper dying in exactly this way while trying to escape from a maximum-security Separatist prison planet. The actual death is off-screen, but you can tell [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe exactly what happened]]. The same thing also happens to a Quarren thug in the opening scene of ''Series/TheMandalorian'', except it happens with a DilatingDoor in a saloon and there's a GoryDiscretionShot that time.

* The ''Franchise/FinalDestination'' films might as well have been called No OSHA Compliance: The Movies, considering how many gruesomely-fatal accidents result from a single trivial mechanical glitch.

* The set of the in-universe show of ''Disney/{{Bolt}}'' has some egregious safety violations. For one thing, there is apparently no fire suppression system ''and'' the set is highly flammable--when some torches are accidentally knocked over, it goes up like flypaper. This is on the set of a modern TV show... one imagines the unions for actors and stagehands would have been sending the studio some ''very'' strong letters afterwards.

* In ''Disney/TheEmperorsNewGroove'', the lever that flips you into Yzma's secret lab is right next to a lever opening a trapdoor to a [[SharkPool crocodile pit]]. {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d when Yzma's henchman Kronk pulls the wrong lever. Returning from her trip to the pool, the alligator-encumbered Yzma says, "[[InventionalWisdom Why do we even]] ''[[InventionalWisdom have]]'' [[InventionalWisdom that lever?]]" ([[BrickJoke Kuzco would also like to know]].)

* ''Film/EnemyMine'' features a mining ship with little to no safety features in sight, resulting in plentiful deaths and mutilations. Possibly {{justified|Trope}} in that it belongs to illegal strip-miners who employ illegal slave labor who may not be arsed into caring about legal safety regulations.

** Coruscant is chock full of FloatingPlatforms, [[http://darthsanddroids.net/episodes/0128.html none of which have proper railings]], only an ankle-high border that most likely makes things worse by making it easier to trip and fall to your death.

An episode of ''Star Wars: The Clone Wars'' has a clonetrooper dying in exactly this way while trying to escape from a maximum-security Separatist prison planet. The actual death is off-screen, but you can tell exactly what happened.

* ''Film/{{Skyline}}'' gives us the [[TropesAreTools trusty old]] "roof door that locks people out on the roof". Roof doors only lock on the inside of the building, to keep people from going out and jumping/falling off. They don't have locks on the outside so people ''don't'' get stuck out there.

* ''Film/TragedyGirls'': Surely having the light switch and the switch for the circular saw in the wood shop next to each and looking identical is an accident waiting to happen? As demonstrated when Syl turns on the saw while trying to turn on the light, and is later killed by the saw when she os dragged into it by an extremely dangerously located hoist.

Unlike most examples, the fact that the people in charge of the city didn't care about the safety of the workers is a major plot point.

** Pod racing on Tatooine is recklessly dangerous even by the standards [[UpToEleven of the Star Wars Universe]]. No safety inspection before the race, [[NotCheatingUnlessYouGetCaught many places along the track you can ram other racers off the road and not be seen]], the course winds through hazards like canyons and Sand People territory (who just love to shoot at the races), any pod, no matter how [[TheAllegedCar much of a death trap]], is accepted, and even children are allowed to participate. Did we mention the part where the pods are basically jet engines held together by a magnetic grid and leather?

* Most ''Franchise/JamesBond'' films contain examples of this, though it may often be justified as being part of the (super)villain's secret lair.

** In ''Film/{{Moonraker}}'', Bond turns off the artificial gravity of the BigBad's space station with the flip of a switch.
*** In the same film, Drax's astronaut training center has a centrifuge that apparently has a 'kill' setting for no reason. There is a kill switch, but if that doesn't work (or someone disconnects it), the person inside the centrifuge is dead meat.

** In ''Film/TomorrowNeverDies'', a number of mooks end up crushed by newspaper printing presses. Later, we see the BigBad's ship, in which both the Sea Drill and a nuclear missile are stored and launched in the same space as the crew's workstations. There doesn't even appear to be any means of venting exhaust from the rocket motor.

** This is also played with in the TV series. Every time Yzma goes to her lair in the school, she orders "Pull the lever, Kronk!", followed by something DIFFERENT happening to her each episode. Even Kuzco does this in a secret bunker that he had hidden in the jungle for some reason.

** Seen in the 1982 film, ''Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan'', in the engine room of the USS ''Enterprise''. Apparently, there's some sort of engine chamber containing radioactive materials, and the only way to enter this chamber is through a ''revolving door''. When Spock goes in to make repairs (with no radiation suit!) he cannot be retrieved for medical treatment because the entire compartment would be flooded with radiation. Justified by the massive battle damage that had caused the leak in the first place. WordOfGod is that Starfleet had that design there because they figured any ship that damaged was as good as dead anyway.

** And the Dwarven SteelMill at the basement of Erebor would be closed within ''seconds'' should OSHA get a hint. The blast furnaces (which emit carbon monoxide and HellFire in RealLife) are located ''indoors'' and the runners for hot metal are completely open, with no protective measures for the workers. [[CaptainObvious It generally isn't a good idea]] to surf on a wheelbarrow on a stream of glowing hot metal.

* In ''Film/{{Lockout}}'', the spaceship has some panel on the wall that explodes violently when shot ONCE (despite bullets being shot all over the place in other scenes with no similar explosions).
** Also, when Hock locks himself and Emily in a room and shoots the door lock to lock them inside, somehow he nicks a nitrogen line which slowly fills the room with nitrogen gas. WHY is there a nitrogen gas tube running through the wall of a cell?

** You would also think Hammond would keep a well-armed security force on standby in case any dinosaurs escape, but nope. The park appears to have no full time security guards.

* ''Film/RobinHood2018'': It's not clear what they are mining in Nottingham (although it is implied to iron, [[AtrtisticLicenceGeography which raises its own issues]]), but the process requires sending blasts of fire skywards at regular intervals. Lack of even the most rudimentary safety measures can probably be {{Handwaved}} as it being the middle ages.

* The title city's underground machine rooms in ''Film/{{Metropolis}}'' fit this trope. Unlike most examples, the fact that the people in charge of the city didn't care about the safety of the workers is a major plot point.

** ''Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay'' averts this, as the smelting factory here has plenty of guardrails, with the only spot without them intended for lowering objects into a vat. The factory is also evacuated when a helium tanker crashes into it, with one worker hitting the alarm and everyone immediately running for it.

* ''Film/WillyWonkaAndTheChocolateFactory'': Many parts of the factory violate the OSHA laws as thoroughly analyzed by [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jD83QaWy8LI Film Theory]]. Examples include, but aren't limited to:
