Frequently asked questions
Can this sign be used as a lockout tag replacement?
No, this is a permanent hazard sign for fixed installation. Use it alongside lockout tags on control panels or machine frames to reinforce the danger message.
What material handles workshop moisture and temperature swings best?
Colorbond steel or laminated polypropylene perform well in damp, temperature-variable settings. Avoid unlaminated corflute if condensation is frequent.
How should I position the sign on a control panel?
Mount at eye level (1.5 m) directly above or beside the start button or main power switch, ensuring it's visible before the operator reaches the control.
Do you offer custom text for specific equipment types?
Standard designs comply with AS 1319. Custom text requires a design proof; contact our team for a quote and lead time.
What's the cost difference between materials for this sign?
Corflute is the most economical; polypropylene and vinyl are mid-range; Colorbond steel is premium but lasts longest. Request a quote comparing all four for your required size.
