I took shop class in jr high. There was a dried spray of blood on the wall behind the band saw. First day of class the shop teacher pointed it out while clarifying that the safety rules were there for a reason. At some point in the previous years the room had been repainted, but that section was left alone to leave the blood on the wall.
That was 1985. I’m guessing today it would be properly cleaned, but everyone in the class would have taken pictures to share anyway.
Today it wouldn’t be there because all the tools would be in storage and the room repurposed for some other kind of class.
(Source: I took AP Physics circa 2000 in the large room that used to be my school’s shop, and wished I could’ve had the chance to use the equipment. It even had two generations of equipment – manual table saws and such stuffed in a large walk-in closet, and CNC mills, oscilloscopes, and other sorts of “high-tech” stuff still sitting out – and none of it was still being used.)
I feel like most shop equipment should have a similar plaque.

My grandfather (born 1928) cut his thumb off in high school shop class. Ran it thru a table saw.
