Description
Protect personnel from 11kV high-voltage hazards with this AS 1319 compliant danger sign. The standard red header and lightning bolt pictogram clearly identify the presence of 11,000-volt equipment at substations, transformer enclosures, and switchgear installations across Australian electricity networks. Supplied in Colorbond, polypropylene, aluminium, or vinyl in sizes from 225×300 mm to 600×900 mm. Reflective Class 1 and Class 2 options boost visibility in outdoor or low-light conditions. Mounting holes included. Platinum Signs serves electricity distributors, facility managers, and contractors with bulk pricing, Australia-wide delivery, and rapid turnaround on large orders.
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.

Available materials
| Material | Specification |
|---|---|
| Colorbond Steel (0.6mm) | Rigid coated sheet steel suited to demanding indoor and outdoor installations. Print life depends on finish, exposure, edges and mounting. Indicative service life: Long-term substrate; print and site conditions apply. Typical use: Permanent installations, harsh environments. |
| Polypropylene (1.6mm) | Rigid plastic sheet suited to indoor and sheltered or general outdoor applications, subject to the print finish and site exposure. Indicative service life: Medium-term use; site conditions apply. Typical use: Warehouses, factories, permanent indoor/outdoor. |
| Aluminium (1.6mm) | Rigid aluminium sheet suited to long-term signage where corrosion resistance and dimensional stability matter. Indicative service life: Long-term substrate; print and site conditions apply. Typical use: Permanent outdoor installations and high-durability sites. |
| Self-Adhesive Vinyl (Sticker) | Peel-and-stick vinyl for smooth surfaces. Walls, doors, machinery, and equipment labelling. Indicative service life: Short- to medium-term use; surface and exposure affect service life. Typical use: Indoor walls, equipment labels, smooth surfaces. |

Frequently asked
Where must 11kV signs be installed?
Place signs at all entry points to 11kV substations, around pad-mount transformers, on high-voltage switchgear enclosures, and at any location where 11,000V equipment is present and accessible.
Is this sign required by law?
Yes. AS 1319 mandates danger signs for high-voltage installations. Electricity distributors and facility operators must comply with electrical safety standards.
What material withstands outdoor substation conditions?
Colorbond steel offers excellent corrosion resistance and durability in harsh outdoor environments. Polypropylene is lightweight and cost-effective but less robust over many years.
Should I choose Class 1 or Class 2 reflective for substations?
Reflective grades provide different visibility performance. Choose the grade required by the project specification and site conditions, and confirm any road, traffic or high-risk requirement with the relevant authority before ordering.
Do you offer bulk pricing for electricity distributors?
Automatic volume pricing is 5–9 signs: 8% off, 10–24 signs: 15% off, 25–49 signs: 24% off, 50–99 signs: 32% off, 100+ signs: 40% off. The configurator is the source of truth and updates the unit price as quantity changes.
