Description
Lockout/tagout (LOTO) is a critical safety procedure that isolates energy sources before maintenance work begins. This sign reinforces that requirement with a clear pictogram and straightforward instruction, reducing the risk of unexpected equipment restart during service intervals. Manufactured to AS 1319 standards, the sign is available in durable Colorbond, practical polypropylene, and flexible vinyl across three sizes (225×300 mm to 450×600 mm). Optional mounting holes are included. Bulk discounts apply to trade accounts, and we ship Australia-wide from Sydney.
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
Where should I position this sign on equipment or machinery?
Mount it near the main isolation point or energy disconnect so workers see it immediately before beginning lockout procedures; visibility from the work area is essential.
Does this sign cover all types of energy sources?
The sign communicates the general lockout principle; for equipment with multiple energy types (electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic), consider supplementary signs identifying each isolation point.
What's the lifespan of each material in a workshop environment?
Colorbond lasts 10+ years in most indoor workshops; polypropylene withstands 5–7 years with regular exposure to oils and solvents; vinyl suits temporary or short-term applications.
Can I order assorted sizes for different machines?
Absolutely. Mix and match sizes in a single order; our online shop allows you to select quantities and materials for each size separately.
Are there discounts for purchasing multiple signs for a facility?
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.
