Like in Beowulf, when Hroðgar, Beowulf and their men track Grendel's mother to her lair under a lake, there's not a single mention of a "Wet Floor - slip hazard" cone?

Of course the worst is Jack and Giant beanstalk, "I'll have his bones to grind my bread". Nary a mention of food labelling or a "best before" date.

       Hah! I'll bet not a single "may contain nuts" warning label...

       Or Arthur pulling Excalibur from the stone, but this time wearing back protection having read, chiselled into the stone.."Lifting hazard. Single person lift could cause injury. Use assistance when moving or lifting heavy objects."

       Or, more classically, how Odysseus (seeing the mandatory ear protection zone hazard notice) made it past the Isle of Sirens very easily.

       Signs on a castle dungeon wall somewhere: "This facility has gone xxiv days accident-free in the torture chamber. Please help us maintain our record by minding all safety equipment when using the torture devices."   

       Star Wars, any particular episode: "Please hold handrails if engaged in swordplay near this area."

Went up the hill
To fetch a pail of water
Jack fell down
And broke his crown
And Jill sued their employer.

       We think we face ridiculous amounts of idiotic labeling - this would be far worse.   

       "Do not sit on this wall. Neither the royal personnel nor equines are adequately trained in surgical repair of eggs"

       That reminds me of the day the sky was falling down. There was no early warning signal!

       Three blind mice put you up to this didn't they?   

       The Sorcerer's Apprentice...Mickey actually does notice the "Notice - Do not leave machine unattended" sign, and just breaks out the Roomba.   

       Dracula finally gives up and goes back to the old country, finding that the two yellow Needle-stick/Sharps hazard bungs on his canines are doing nothing for his love life.

       AP 12 April 2013: Federal authorities gain an injunction prohibiting Acme Products Inc (a Delaware corporation) from shipping any more product to one Wile E Coyote, citing multiple safety issues due to the user's non-compliance with standard safety protocols, endangering the community, and specifically threatening indigenous non-flying avian species, and causing harm to himself.

       Acme Products Inc (a Delaware corporation) announced it has been purchased by a Chinese conglomerate, and will outsource all manufacturing jobs to Zimbabwe. The warehousing and distribution centers will remain intact during the transition. Acme representative Ima Duchbagh cited increased labor costs as the determining factor in outsourcing manufacturing.

       In fact, during the exit from the Apollo 11 moon lander Armstrong flubbed his lines because he'd just realised he'd forgotten to put the "Hard Vacuum hazard" cones out beforehand.   

       Finally, the truth can be told.

       I'm wondering about the application for Hell, but then the whole place would grind to a halt, more likely to succeed would be the military. "Muzzle- do no stand in front of, danger of death" etc

       //The Flintstones wouldn't get very far. Please keep all appendages inside the vehicle at all times   

       That was the pilot for a more gritty modern remake, where Fred, fired from the quarry by the new Chinese owners, drunkenly exposes himself from the car and Pebbles gets taken away by social services, if I remember correctly.   

       And the cave got foreclosed on.
