Warning posters from yesteryear show different approach to health and safety



A fascinating selection of vintage health and safety posters have been discovered in a warehouse at the�
Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents and a selection have been turned into greetings cards and�
postcards. The advertisements date from the 1930s to the 1970s and cover all aspects of safety - from�
cycling dangers to the risks of swimming. (All pictures courtesy of SWNS)
