Cheaper than actual safety measures, like shields?
I had fun with one of these posters a while ago:
Don’t know if it’s Soviet or some other country; it seems more polished somehow (the original, that is).
Was not posters of safety. Was maintenance manuals. Like Capitalism, Communism oiled with blood of workers.
I would so use some of those for cubicle decoration.
If you think the guy with the hammer to the face got it bad you should see the one who got the sickle.

“The general message from the government to the public was this: terrible things will happen to you if we don’t take care of you and watch over your every step,” according to Oleg Atbashian.
I realize he is an actual Russian designer, but that is the opposite of how these read to me. If anything, they’re promoting personal responsibility: you have to be careful around all this incredibly unsafe equipment. If the message were “government takes care of you” the equipment would be properly designed in the first place.

All wheels are standing still, If a strong arm so will.
(it sounds better in German, though…)
I can attest to that.
