A trope usually seen in comedy. Occurs where an institution holds a sign outside their facility stating "X days since the last [bad event]", usually a sign like this is used to indicate the building has No OSHA Compliance, with work-related accidents or outlandish catastrophes being the most frequent bad event. Sometimes being reset by occurrences within the episode. An increasingly common variant is the sign having to be reset as it is being updated. These signs still exist in real life, even as fiction relentlessly parodies them. Examples |

Starfield: In one location, there's an animated sign displaying "x days since the last accident". Naturally, players tested this and found that it does reset if you, say, throw a grenade at people. | |

In The Simpsons: In the new opening: Lenny & Carl are changing the "days without an accident" one higher, then the quitting time horn goes off and Homer runs out, knocking them over in the process. A prison holds a sign counting the number of days since the last break out. A trailer park has a sign counting the number of days without a tornado. And it's reset between scenes. When Apu takes his citizenship test, the sign outside says something like "130 years without a civil war" Then there's the "days since a suicide" sign at a divorcee hotel. As we see it, there's a gunshot and it resets to zero. In the computer game Virtual Springfield, there's one of these on the wall in Sector 7G. If you click on one button, Homer presses it, then suddenly Lenny and Carl come running through screaming and on fire, then a countdown begins, stopping when Homer casually presses a button, and says "So that's what that button does!" If you look at the wall again, the counter has reset. The sign at the Springfield International Airport says "no crashes since Tuesday", then immediately a plane crashes. |

In Counter-Strike: Global Offensive on the map "Vertigo" (set in an under-construction skyscraper), you can find a "This Jobsite Has Suffered X Injuries" sign in the Terrorist's spawn. It starts each match at 0, then increases for every player that falls off the map. | |

Entropy : Zero 2 presents a "This job has worked 52 days without a [map] transition" sign in the Arbeit underground labs, right before a map change. Sure enough, after the next map loads in, the counter changes from 52 to 0. A variation of this sign found later on instead reads "This job has worked 0 days without a Combine invasion". | |

From Not Always Right we have this story about a chemistry student so accident-prone that the teacher made one of these signs just for them. Ironically, the accident that caused the counter to be reset was not the student's fault that time. Also from Not Always Right, we have this tale of a store resetting their "days since a customer asked a stupid question" sign (it had been at a record of 99 days), submitted by the customer who asked the question. |

The Office (US) An episode features an "X Days Since Last Accident" sign in the warehouse. Michael caused an accident, requiring the sign (which had a high number on it) to be reset. When Dwight becomes manager and declares a "no nonsense" workplace, Jim produces a joke sign that reads "4 days since last nonsense". Dwight sees the sign and changes the number to five. |

The Bastard Operator from Hell had one in one episode. 10 days since last accident? "I think you'll find that's a binary number." And that's only because they don't count disappearances as accidents, or people who don't work there, or disappearances of people who don't work there... Suffice it to say, whatever health and safety compliance the Bastard's workplace once had is long gone. It gets reset at the end of the story by the CEO, with a case of The Coroner Doth Protest Too Much following the boss suffering "a tragic accident" in his office. | |

Played for laughs in Doom (2016). Upon completion of the first level, you come across a UAC propaganda hologram that proudly states "Welcome to the UAC - Now 221 Accident-free days!"...as the entirety of the level you played (and the hallway you are currently standing in) are soaked in blood and strewn with corpses. | |

Game Grumps: One of the show's recurring elements involves Arin breaking out into a standard beatbox rhythm which he rarely deviates from, much to the annoyance of some fans. Dan invokes this trope in Episode 32 of their "Link to the Past" playthrough, which has since become an in-joke among the fandom. One fan actually made and sent in a custom sign reading "It has been ___ days since Arin beatboxed." As Dan later points out, Arin's beatboxing is part of the Game Grumps intro, so it will always be zero days since Arin beatboxed. | |

In a Futurama episode a sign counts the days since Omicron Persei 8 last invaded Earth, and in another episode there's one in a working ground for slaves counting the days since the last accident. (Fry accidentally nails his own hand to the sign while changing the number, then reaches for the "1" sign anyway.) Also, there's one on the door to the cryogenic tubes Fry got frozen in. | |

Modern Rogue has an injury counter that resets with alarming frequency, usually as a result of one of the hosts underestimating the inherent danger in whatever scientific experiment they're tinkering with. Most injuries are minor, requiring only a bandage, but several ER trips have been undertaken. "Reset the counter!" has become a Catchphrase for the show. | |
