Frequently asked questions
Is this sign suitable for all types of buried services?
Yes, the generic 'Services Buried Below' message covers electrical cables, gas pipes, water mains, and telecommunications in one sign. Use it where multiple utilities are present or the service type is uncertain.
What size works best for a typical construction site?
Available sizes are 300 x 450mm (Medium), 450 x 600mm (Large). Viewing-distance notes are a practical selection aid, not a substitute for checking the approach distance, lighting, mounting position, wording and site risk assessment.
How often should I replace these signs?
Inspect signs quarterly for fading, damage, or obscured text. Replace immediately if legibility is compromised, as faded signage may not convey the hazard effectively.
Can I order pre-drilled signs ready to install?
Yes. Four-corner pre-drilled holes are an optional extra with a base surcharge of $3.00 inc GST per sign for the listed configurations, before any applicable volume discount. Select the option to update the configured total before adding to cart.
