It was a time when folks learned about safety first hand or from family members usually. Youngsters could see the harm it did to an uncle, neighbor, father, brother or sister, and learned what caused the harm.
This is where common sense is learned. One has to make choices, then be able to evaluate them to see if the idea should be repeated, or not. When the person has no experience, there have been no choices, so they never learn what might work, and what won't. Then, years later, we say they have no common sense! Common sense is an opportunity to make choices, good or bad and learn from them.

Good safety film.
When I worked on construction jobs, we always made sure no one could cause a part of a machine to move by messing with the controls.
Here's a good 1974 railroad safety film. They would have a coronary if they still did most of those things today. The stunt guy took a pretty good beating making it, especially for an older guy.

Some may think any safety films are corny, but I disagree and I have an example.
Working at an EXXON expansion project years ago there were a rash of accidents, and one death.
The death was truly an example a common sense and a freak occurrence. Young man walked under a crane boom just about the time the ball became tool blocked, broke the cable and the the ball landed right on the young mans head.
When they looked into this and the rash of other accidents, they all had one thing in common. All were new hires with no real experience in the field.
Supposedly they went through safety orientation before being sent out to the field, but perhaps they fell asleep during the process.
