Go to history and scroll back to Page 19, which preserves the Real Life page as it would have looked at time of deletion.

Editing out the real life section... no reason was given. Why?

Okay, who in the heck randomly spliced most of the anime and comics examples into the trope's definition? That took me a good 15 minutes to get straightened out.

Is it just me or does the explanation of the trope actually end up explaining just Steam and Flame Factories and not No OSHA Compliance itself? While SFF are an important part of NOSHAC, as the examples show, it's a trope about egregious safety violations in general, really.

Well, these factories are a huge violation of Safety regulations, generally...

It's super effective.
Commented this out, as I don't understand what this has to do with anything.
- The TARDIS is an especially egregious example. Any time something goes wrong with its systems, it threatens to destroy anything from an inhabited planet to reality itself, and this happens so often that it was Lampshaded in the "Time Crash" special, with the Doctor observing that the TARDIS's latest hiccup is threatening to create a hole in the universe the size of Belgium and commenting that it's a bit undramatic. One wonders why the Valeyard didn't just haul the Doctor in for violating TARDIS safety regs.
...what? What has any of this got to do with smoky factories or final confrontations? If it means the control room/console room, then either it's on a singular floor or there are plenty of handrails; the machinery isn't really exposed unless the Doctor and his companions are busy fixing its systems, the safety switches are usually on the main console and no furnaces or forges to speak of either. We rarely even see a clear depiction of the TARDIS' workings and engines, and the one occasion it did, the TARDIS' many safety protocols were deliberately compromised as part of a flying lesson. Also, the Doctor usually has a fire extinguisher and I think falling oxygen masks in one episode.
As "The Time of the Doctor" explains, the TARDIS was nearly blown up by design by people wilfully travelling along the Doctor's time stream. Also, its systems never function properly and it shakes about in almost every trip it makes, so what definition of "something go[ing] wrong" are we going by here?
I believe the problem in "Time Crash" was due to the external shields after collision with another TARDIS. I'll need to properly look into that episode, but again, nothing related to the description. I also have no idea how the editor came to the conclusion that the "size of Belgium" joke is about the TARDIS' failures and shortcomings. I thought that had more to do with the fact that it's a hole in the universe.

It's super effective.
"The End of the World" doesn't really fit the description. There's no climactic battle to speak of. The Doctor (in essence) runs along the precarious path, and hits the button at the end.

I propose changing the name to "No Safety Compliance".

The Jungle by Upton Sinclair is, as usual, mentioned. This was a work of fiction, and most claims by Sinclair were either wildly exaggerated based on hearsay or fabricated entirely. Sinclair himself rejected the legislation regulating the meat-packers that followed, since the public would be paying for it, rather than them, and this allowed them to defray the costs. https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/The_Jungle#Public_and_federal_response
Why did you get rid of the real life page? Why are you getting rid of real life pages of every interesting topic? This has happened too many times. I'm sick of it. Stop ruining the site. Anyway I'm off to the wayback machine, because you people like taking my favorite pages away. This is why I don't go ad free, why would I support people like this?
