This photograph documents a wartime industrial safety exhibit staged at the Plum Brook Ordnance Works near Sandusky, Ohio, one of the U.S. Army's major explosives production facilities during World War II. Tiered displays of protective clothing, respirators, and safety posters underscore the plant's proud safety record — over 17.8 million man-hours worked without a fatal accident. Such exhibits were common at wartime munitions plants, reinforcing worker safety amid the hazardous, high-volume production demanded by the war effort, while a mural of an Army Air Forces bomber overhead reminded workers of the stakes of their labor on the home front.
