Description
British Second World War poster issued by the Ministry of Labour and National Service for the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents to promote safe working practices. It is one of a series of double-sided, narrow posters printed to save paper.
This poster is one of a series illustrated by Montague Philip Mendoza that all emphasised the importance of being careful and working safely. This particular poster features one side with a message to keep boots in good repair "for safety's sake", and the other informing people to keep gangways clear, with an image of a plank of wood with pointed-up nails placed in the middle of a cross road.
This item has been digitised with funding provided by Commonwealth Government.
