Description
The Casualty Symbol directs patients and visitors to emergency departments in hospitals and nursing homes. Built to health-facility wayfinding standards, it uses ISO 7001 iconography and AS 1428 accessible pictogram sizing for consistent, immediate recognition. Polypropylene (1.6 mm) is the standard choice for interior clinical mounting; self-adhesive vinyl suits temporary installations or flat surfaces. The 150×150 mm format integrates seamlessly into corridor directories and ward signage systems. Add mounting holes or lamination for durability. Trade discounts apply to bulk orders; Australia-wide delivery included.
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
Is the Casualty Symbol the same as an emergency or A&E sign?
Yes, it's the standard ISO 7001 symbol for emergency/casualty departments in hospitals. It's used globally and is immediately recognised by patients and staff.
What's the best material for a high-traffic emergency entrance?
Polypropylene (1.6 mm) withstands heavy foot traffic and frequent cleaning. Self-adhesive vinyl is better for temporary or internal corridor signage.
How do I integrate this into a larger wayfinding system?
The 150×150 mm size fits standard corridor directory panels and modular signage systems. We can advise on spacing and layout—contact our design team.
Does this sign require AS 1319 certification?
No. The Casualty Symbol is an information sign following ISO 7001 conventions, not an AS 1319-regulated hazard or prohibition notice.
What's the turnaround for delivery to a regional hospital?
Standard Australia-wide delivery is 5–7 business days. We also offer express options for urgent installations—request a quote.
