Check the sign format before ordering
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.
This is general product information, not legal or engineering advice. A safety sign is one part of a workplace control system; confirm the site and jurisdictional requirements before ordering.

Frequently asked questions
Should this sign be used with a physical barrier or guard?
The sign is a warning, not a substitute for physical protection. Use it alongside barriers, guards, or temporary fencing to prevent accidental contact with live conductors.
Which material is better for a temporary construction site?
Polypropylene is lightweight and cost-effective for short-term use; Colorbond is more durable if the sign will be moved between multiple sites or left in place for weeks.
Can I use this sign indoors and outdoors?
Yes. Both materials handle indoor and outdoor conditions. Polypropylene is fine for covered or short-term outdoor exposure; Colorbond is preferred for prolonged outdoor use.
What if live wires are de-energised—do I still need the sign?
Remove or cover the sign once wires are confirmed de-energised and safe. Leaving it in place creates confusion and may lead to complacency among site workers.
Do you offer bulk pricing for contractors with multiple active sites?
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.
