[Star Wars] Why is Health and Safety so sporadic?

Throughout Star Wars, I've noticed that there's very little attention paid to Health and Safety. 

**Episode 1:** 

No safety precautions for podracing, despite crashes happening quite frequently. What safety equipment do the racers get? A helmet which isn't going to protect them that much when they're travelling at a thousand miles per hour. Would it kill them to add an ejector seat to pods so the pilots have a better chance of surviving? I know podracing is supposed to be very dangerous, but surely somebody must have thought to mitigate that danger somewhat? 

Cut to the fight between the Jedi and Darth Maul. There is not a single balustrade in the area they're fighting in. This is an area where you can drop hundreds if not thousands of feet if you fall. There are no harnesses in sight that workers might have to wear if they're going to repair the bits that stick out in that unending pit that Darth Maul is thrown down. There are also no guards around those massive pillars of energy, so what happens if somebody trips into one? A health and safety inspector would have a field day in that area alone.

**Episode 2:**

LAAT gunships flying with their doors open. Why are they doing that? One wrong turn and the people inside will fall out since all they have to hang onto is a strap hanging from the ceiling. Why are there no seats?

It also appears that once one of those circular platforms in the senate leaves its dock, there's no way of covering the gap that it leaves behind, so somebody could just walk off that and plummet hundreds of feet to their death.

That whole droid factory. Everything about it is a health and safety nightmare.

**Episode 4:**

In order to manually shut down the tractor beam on the Death Star, you need to move along a balcony which is barely a foot thick on the other side of the device with no balustrade. Also there are no balustrades for any of the connecting bridges between sections, as well as a massive hole in the hangar floor when the lift is coming up. 

**Episode 6:**

Maybe the Imperial Engineers took the hint, because Death Star II actually has balustrades (which are promptly cut in half by Luke). Even the Ewoks have ropes around their huts so people don't just fall out of the trees. 

I could go on, but the point is made. Why is the health and safety of workers routinely ignored in supposedly advanced civilisations in  the Star Wars universe?

It gets worse... A single A-wing was all that was needed to bring down the Executor. Even after the Death Star debacles, Thermal Port Technology (tm) still leaves a lot to be desired and the Imperial superweapon was yet again wiped out by a handful of starfighters. 

On the plus side, the Never Ending Pit design is gradually being improved. In Cloud City, they spin off or terminate in conveniently human-sized tubes with friendly gradients for fun sliding. Convenient levers and hatches have also been added in case someone goes for a wall-climbing funventure (Starkiller base).
