If the Soviet Union Work Safety posters don’t make you more aware of workplace safety, then I don’t know what will. Just looking at some of these depictions makes my stomach queasy.
In gory pictorials, these posters warn you about the bloody consequences of large machinery not being handled properly. The sawed off hands, legs getting mangled and stomach-piercing images featured are enough to get you trained to invincible standards. I really hope none of these Soviet Union Work Safety posters are actually true.
