Nice and detailed drawing of a real man and probably endemic too. Resembles a design
found in Central Europe (e.g.
Liechtenstein or
Austria). Notice that the man is working on a slope and hovers above the earth.
The drawing from Seoul is slightly different.
There is no slope, the spade enters the heap and I think that he's equiped with a hard hat.
General aspect comes closer to many European designs.

Safety at work is important and Bartolomeo agrees with that (see his
leaflet). There is something weird however.
I think that the Mogpo sign features a child, not an adult. The body proportions are wrong
for an adult.
Why show a child? You show a child when talking to children or warning about
children (e.g.
Madeira), but not when giving safety instructions
directed towards upgrown (construction) workers.
