Anyone who is currently enthralled with Game of Thrones knows Kings Landing is filled with skilled Warriors, Maesters, Cooks, Blacksmiths and Sorcerers.
There is, however, a distinct lack of Health and Safety Experts, and therefore unsurprisingly a very high death count. If only the Maesters were taught risk assessment at the Citadel…
| Avoidable Death | Risks Highlighted | Control Measure |
| Robert Baratheon being wounded by a wild boar |
|
|
| King Joffrey being poisoned |
|
|
| Lysa Arryn being pushed out moon door by Littlefinger |
|
If only the work at Height Regulations had been in force back then the Moon Door would have been paved over well in advance of this mishap. |
| Oberyn Martell’s skull being crushed by the Mountain in a trial by combat |
|
|
| Areo Hotah - Stabbed in the back by Tyene, one of the Sand Snakes |
|
|
| Balon Greyjoy being thrown from a bridge by his brother, Euron Greyjoy | Fall from height/Thrown from height to certain death | If only the Occupiers Liability Westeros Act had been passed the bridge would have had suitable railings and a safety net below and we wouldn’t have to put up with Balon’s smug face as King of the Iron Isles |
| High Sparrow & Tyrells killed in Wild Fire Explosion | Wild fire stash exploding causing mass death Wildfire used in an attack |
Control of Substances Hazardous to Health regulations would have dictated wild fire was not stored and was not kept anywhere near Kings Landing thus avoiding a lot of death. Though doubtful Cersei would have paid any heed to them. |
| Ramsay Bolton being eaten by his hounds | Being devoured by the hungry hounds. |
|
| John Snow |
