This poster was created by OWI during World War II for the National Safety Council, Inc. It is one of a series for the purpose of motivating factory workers to emphasize safety as part of the continuous effort to increase war production. "Keep 'em Fighting. Production Wins Wars. Stop Accidents." is the message against the image of the macho sailor carrying a large shell to a gun.

The date may be 1944 but this is not certain.
