Description
Encourage safe handrail use in stairwells, ramps, and elevated walkways with a clear, workplace-standard information sign. The Hold Handrail message is presented in blue panel format with white pictogram, reinforcing safe movement practices without regulatory language. Suitable for offices, aged care facilities, shopping centres, and any multi-level building where step safety is a priority. Manufactured in colorbond (0.55 mm) for durability in both interior and sheltered outdoor settings. Available in 225×300 mm and 300×450 mm to suit different stairwell widths and sightlines. Optional lamination adds scratch and fade resistance in high-touch environments.
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 install this sign in a stairwell?
Mount it at eye level on the wall adjacent to the stairwell entrance or at the top of the first flight, where occupants naturally look before descending. Position it 1.2–1.5 m above floor level for optimal visibility.
Is colorbond suitable for outdoor ramps?
Yes. Colorbond resists UV fading and moisture, making it ideal for covered outdoor ramps and sheltered stairwells. For fully exposed areas with high salt exposure, contact us about alternative materials.
Can I add text or customise the design?
Standard signs come with the pictogram and message shown. Custom designs with your organisation's branding or additional text are available — request a quote for bespoke work.
How do I clean and maintain the sign?
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners and high-pressure water on colorbond. Laminated signs resist fingerprints and are easier to maintain in busy areas.
