Danger — Underground Cables Sign
Product code: PSS-ELEC-016
Mark underground electrical cable routes and excavation zones with a clear, compliant danger sign that alerts contractors, landscapers, and site workers to the risk of cable strike. Essential wherever ground-disturbing work—trenching, boring, digging—may occur near buried infrastructure.
Material
Rigid plastic sheet suited to indoor and sheltered or general outdoor applications, subject to the print finish and site exposure.
Viewing distance is indicative; check approach distance, lighting and mounting position for the site.

Product details
Mark underground electrical cable routes and excavation zones with a clear, compliant danger sign that alerts contractors, landscapers, and site workers to the risk of cable strike. Essential wherever ground-disturbing work—trenching, boring, digging—may occur near buried infrastructure.
Choose from four materials (Colorbond, polypropylene, aluminium, vinyl) and four sizes (225×300 mm through 600×900 mm) to suit your site visibility and permanence requirements. Reflective Class 1 and Class 2 options boost visibility in low-light conditions or high-speed zones. Mounting holes and reflective finishes are available.
Platinum Signs delivers Australia-wide with trade account discounts on bulk orders. Customisation and fast turnaround available.
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.
Material options
Rigid coated sheet steel suited to demanding indoor and outdoor installations. Print life depends on finish, exposure, edges and mounting.
Indicative durability: Long-term substrate; print and site conditions apply · Typical use: Permanent installations, harsh environments
Rigid plastic sheet suited to indoor and sheltered or general outdoor applications, subject to the print finish and site exposure.
Indicative durability: Medium-term use; site conditions apply · Typical use: Warehouses, factories, permanent indoor/outdoor
Rigid aluminium sheet suited to long-term signage where corrosion resistance and dimensional stability matter.
Indicative durability: Long-term substrate; print and site conditions apply · Typical use: Permanent outdoor installations and high-durability sites
Peel-and-stick vinyl for smooth surfaces. Walls, doors, machinery, and equipment labelling.
Indicative durability: Short- to medium-term use; surface and exposure affect service life · Typical use: Indoor walls, equipment labels, smooth surfaces

Frequently asked questions
When should I install underground cable signs?
Place signs along all cable routes where excavation or ground work may occur, at site entry points, and near utility infrastructure. Refresh or replace signs if they become faded, damaged, or obscured by vegetation.
What is the difference between Class 1 and Class 2 reflective?
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.
Which material is best for long-term outdoor use?
Colorbond steel offers maximum durability in harsh environments and resists vandalism; aluminium is lightweight and corrosion-resistant; vinyl suits temporary installations; polypropylene balances cost and weather resistance.
Can I get a larger format for better visibility?
Yes, we stock up to 600×900 mm. Larger formats are visible from greater distances and suit major cable routes, substations, or high-visibility zones.
Do you offer reflective upgrades on existing orders?
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.
