Approved Methods for Storing Materials
Navy Department safety sheet with four photographs and drawings of correct stacking for drums (indoors and outdoors), bags and barrels, ending with 'Follow these directions closely to avoid accidents and damage'. It is an instructional sheet; any persuasion technique is faint here, and the closest is a one-sided selection of approved examples.
