AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Rare Original USSR High-Altitude Work Safety Sign – “Work at Height with Safety Belt” – c. 1960s–1970s – Large Metal Sign
Description
Original Soviet industrial safety sign from the USSR, dating approximately to the 1960s–1970s.
Original Russian inscription:
«РАБОТУ НА ВЫСОТЕ ВЫПОЛНЯЙТЕ В ПРЕДОХРАНИТЕЛЬНОМ ПОЯСЕ»
English translation:
“WHEN WORKING AT HEIGHT, USE A SAFETY BELT.”
This sign was intended specifically for high-altitude workers, construction crews, industrial maintenance teams and factory personnel working at elevated positions.
Because it relates to work at height, rather than general factory safety, it is a much more specialized type of Soviet occupational-safety signage.
Made of metal, with a yellow background and bold red period lettering. The surface retains strong vintage character with natural oxidation, scratches, paint loss, staining and edge wear, consistent with prolonged industrial use and age.
Dimensions: approximately 44 × 35 cm.
Rarity
Original Soviet signs connected specifically with work at height and fall protection are considerably less commonly encountered than ordinary workplace warning signs.
Its specialized subject, large format and strong original appearance make it an especially attractive piece for collectors of USSR industrial history, construction memorabilia, occupational safety, vintage signs and Soviet graphic design.
