1980s safety-album page

Description

Page of a 1980s Angang safety-work photo album, each photograph mounted with a typed caption strip; from a private family collection. This page: a large green billboard with white characters 安全第一 ('Safety First') beside a willow-lined avenue, blast furnaces and smokestacks in the haze behind; the caption reads that Angang put safety at the very head of production and operations (鞍钢把安全工作放在生产经营工作的首位，牢固树立安全第一的思想).
