On with the Job! Get It Done the Safe and Sure Way
Industrial safety poster: a worker in goggles and bib overalls holds a pneumatic tool against a salmon-red ground, with 'On with the job!' in large white type and 'Get it done the safe and sure way' in a dark panel. The ordinary working figure and the slogan tie careful work to defence output (plain-folks).
