History NoOSHACompliance / WesternAnimation

** Fry initially has [[AmusingInjuries trouble]] with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PnR1ENaaUo the doors]] and the tube-based public transport system after first entering the year 3000.

"Pit of Peril": the US military has apparently been dumping flammable equipment in old open pit mines and never fencing them off, then losing the records, since one of their ''own vehicles'' falls in and becomes almost impossible to recover since the fire's still raging a hundred years later.
''Crablogger'': The titular logging and lumber processing machine has no dead man's switch, so when its operators are incapacitated it keeps going without their input. Even worse, the shutdown procedure is so complex its designer needed to be interrogated, and it's so convoluted that it falls off a cliff before the shut down sequence finishes.
* ''Brink of Disaster:'' The businessman who built the Pacific-Atlantic Monorail was greedy and not concerned with safety, and it shows. The trains are automatic, which isn't necessarily a bad thing - except it means there are literally no internal controls whatsoever, not even a radio to a remote control room. As such when the track ahead fails, the power unit practically needed to be dismantled to make it stop.
* Thompson Tower of ''Tower of Terror'' lasts for all of one day before a fire in the basement car park spreads throughout the entire building and brings it down. There are fire doors to contain it, but there are no alarms or announcements so they close ''before'' a family that was out of view of the CCTV cameras can evacuate, and subsequently jam shut.

* ''Series/{{Thunderbirds}}'': This trope is the raison d'etre of many episodes, like the Fireflash in the pilot episode, an atomic-powered aeroplane which would have killed all of its passengers by radiation poisoning if it didn't land within 2 '''hours''', and the Crablogger, an atomic-powered logging machine which was going to '''blow up''' if not shut down properly.

** "[[Recap/StarTrekLowerDecksS2E08CrisisPoint2Paradoxus Crisis Point 2: Paradoxus]]": ''Somehow'', Stevens is able to lean against the ''Cerritos''[='=] warp core ''twice in one day'', suffering very painful radiation burns.

** "[[Recap/StarTrekLowerDecksS2E08CrisisPoint2 Paradoxis Crisis Point 2: Paradoxis]]": ''Somehow'', Stevens is able to lean against the ''Cerritos''[='=] warp core ''twice in one day'', suffering very painful radiation burns.

* ''WesternAnimation/StarTrekLowerDecks'': "[[Recap/StarTrekLowerDecksS2E02KayshonHisEyesOpen Kayshon, His Eyes Open]]": Apparently, sonic showers can be set so high as to cause nosebleeds and physical pain with no more effort than pushing a few buttons.

* Played for laughs multiple times in ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse''. The local amusement park, Funland, is woefully understaffed with very little measures of safety whatsoever. Visitors have climbed the outside of the Ferris wheel and obstructed the path of a roller coaster unhindered. The plot of the episode "Serious Steven" even hinges on an accident caused by Steven being able to climb right out of a ride in motion.

* Played with in ''WesternAnimation/SupermanTheAnimatedSeries''. A concert held by a shock jock had the police arrive to shut it down, due to safety concerns of having tons of both people and electrical equipment outside during a thunder storm. [[LightningCanDoAnything Things did indeed go wrong]].
* This trope is the raison d'etre of many ''Series/{{Thunderbirds}}'' episodes, like the Fireflash in the pilot episode, an atomic-powered aeroplane which would have killed all of its passengers by radiation poisoning if it didn't land within 2 '''hours''', and the Crablogger, an atomic-powered logging machine which was going to '''blow up''' if not shut down properly.
* ''WesternAnimation/ThunderCats1985''. The home of the mighty mystical gyroscope — that's keeping New Thundera in ''one friggin' piece'' — LIVES this trope. Lots of smooth, shiny construction material, no guard rails, narrow walkways galore, and the gyroscope itself floats above a pedestal surrounded by an insanely deep pit.

*** The Cloudsdale Weather Factory is a terrible example of industrial safety. Highlights include a room full of lightning stored on high shelves in fragile jars with no safety rails, a fan powerful enough to suck up all loose objects in a room ''full'' of loose objects, and critical water pipes that a single pony can easily kick out. Rainbow Dash did enter the factory with the specific intention of industrial sabotage, but the damage got way out of hoof, and could have happened pretty easily by accident.

** Ponyville itself appears to also be this in the Mare-Do-Well episode. Balconies that cannot take the strain of three elderly ponies standing on them, a long and VERY steep road that ends in a '''ramp''', a construction site where a single crane error almost got the entire construction crew killed. It appears that Rainbow Dash's heroics might be the only thing keeping the town's populace alive.
*** The Applewood Derby race track from "The Cart Before the Ponies". On top of it being a figure eight course, it also overlaps two intersecting major roads. It was only matter of time before [[https://derpicdn.net/img/view/2016/8/6/1218758__safe_rainbow+dash_rarity_applejack_screencap_derpy+hooves_scootaloo_sweetie+belle_apple+bloom_edit.png this]] happened.
*** Sugarcube Corner can be this as well, as demonstrated in "The Show Stoppers". In an attempt to get their cutie marks, the Cutie Mark Crusaders try to make their own taffy by using a large machine, [[HilarityEnsues unsupervised]]. Scootaloo's tail gets stuck in the machine and her friends also get caught trying to pull her out. The machine pulls them around until they come out stuck together.
** {{Discussed|Trope}} in ''[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS6E14StrangerThanFanFiction Stranger Than Fan Fiction]]'', when [[InsufferableGenius Quibble Pants]] almost dies from a collapsing RopeBridge during a [[{{LARP}} Daring Do Adventu-cation]] and he accuses the people running it of being incompetent hacks who are trying to sell a [[ShoddyKnockoffProduct bootleg version]] of the real thing with no adherence to safety standards. Unbeknownst to him, he's not actually in a replication of a Daring Do adventure; [[AndYouThoughtItWasAGame he's in the real thing]].
** ''[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS6E11ApplejacksDayOff Applejack's Day Off]]'' has Applejack visit the local spa, where she discovers that the unusually long line for the steam room is due to a leaking steam pipe. The leak had been treated as a minor inconvenience by the spa staff, when leaking steam is in fact a serious safety hazard. Steam can very quickly cause [[https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/05/180514122556.htm severe burns]], as well as create a slip-and-fall hazard when it condenses on to the nearby floor. To top it off, Applejack ends up fixing the leak (by tightening some bolts and then wrapping the pipe in duct tape) while steam is still coming out of it. If not for cartoon physics, the episode would have ended with Applejack in the hospital.

* Both the Krusty Krab and the Chum Bucket in ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' fall under this category for different reasons. For the Krusty Krab, it's because of how cheap Mr. Krabs is when it comes to running the place. His employees are never paid, he recycles food people throw away to resell it and he does all the repair jobs himself because he’s a total cheapskate. For the Chum Bucket, it's mainly because the food is inedible, the place is in disrepair and no one besides Karen wants to work for Plankton because he’s a jerk and a criminal.

** There's also Patchy the Pirate's VERY unsanitary ways of being a fry cook in an effort to be like his hero, Spongebob in the episode "Friend or Foe". He kept hamburger meat in an old boot (he claims it's to give it flavor), he let rats in the kitchen (he claimed he brushed and washed them), he didn't wash his hands (every time), didn't wear a hair net and even he admitted that the food he prepared tasted awful.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Metalocalypse}}'' thrives on this trope. Dethklok's concerts have so little in the way of safety regulation that fans have to sign waivers declaring that they won't blame Dethklok in a case of injury or death, and this is not an idle threat--the first episode has them dropping a massive metal cube which folds out into their concert stage ''on top of a crowd of people'' and crushing hundreds of them, before firing gallons of boiling hot coffee into the crowd and giving them flesh-melting burns. Other concerts have included such things as dumbfire missiles, high-powered lasers, predatory animals in easily-broken cages, massive machinery that falls apart if a single bolt comes loose, and materials that catch fire at the first sign of a spark. One episode suggests that this is ''encouraged'' by Dethklok, as they both hate their fans and consider the massive deaths caused by this lack of safety to be "more brutal."

His employees are never paid because he doesn't want to spend his money, he recycles food people throw away to resell it and he does all the repair jobs himself to save money. For the Chum Bucket, it's mainly because the food is inedible, the place is in disrepair and no one besides Karen wants to work for Plankton because of his mean personality and criminal background.

* In ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'' Silas Stone’s lab has a cable trailing across the floor which is bumped every time someone opens the door. Eventually [[ComicBook/{{Cyborg}} Vic Stone]] accidentally pulls it out of the alien device it’s plugged into and causes an explosion.

** Let's not forget "Krabbyland", a shoddy and cheaply made playground Mr. Krabs (and ''only'' Mr. Krabs) built in order to entice children and get his claws on their parents' money.

** Also mentioned but not seen is the Krustyland House of Knives; Krusty swears that the tourists were decapitated [[ImplausibleDeniability ''before'']] they entered it.
