Description
Alert workers and visitors to the risk of unexpected machinery activation with this AS 1319–compliant danger sign. The red header band and white messaging format signals an immediate threat to life or health, commanding attention at critical entry points and work stations. Supplied in corflute, polypropylene, Colorbond, or vinyl across four standard sizes (225×300 mm to 600×900 mm), this sign performs in both sheltered and exposed conditions. Platinum Signs offers reflective upgrades, pre-drilled mounting holes, and lamination for extended durability. Trade accounts receive bulk discounts, and Australia-wide delivery is standard.
Final sign type, wording, size, placement and material depend on the site risk, project specification and applicable jurisdiction. Confirm the requirement with the relevant WHS adviser or regulator.

Frequently asked
Is this sign suitable for outdoor use?
Yes. Choose polypropylene or vinyl for wet environments, or upgrade to Class 1 or Class 2 reflective material if the sign must remain visible in low light. Colorbond is also weather-resistant for long-term outdoor mounting.
What's the difference between the four material options?
Corflute is lightweight and economical; polypropylene offers durability in damp conditions; Colorbond provides rigid, industrial-grade protection; vinyl is flexible and ideal for curved or temporary installations. All meet AS 1319 colour and contrast requirements.
Can I order multiple signs at a discount?
Volume-pricing examples are 5 signs: 8% off, 10 signs: 15% off, 25 signs: 24% off, 50 signs: 32% off, 100 signs: 40% off. Savings increase gradually between these quantities. The total increases as you add more signs, while the average price per sign falls or stays the same. The configurator calculates the total for your selected quantity.
Do you supply the signs ready to install?
Yes. Select pre-drilled holes during checkout, and we'll prepare the sign for immediate mounting. Lamination is also available to protect printed surfaces from abrasion and UV fading.
