Description
This landscape-format surveillance notice suits wide entry points — car-park openings, warehouse docks, perimeter fencing, and driveways. The "In Use" wording signals active monitoring and supports your Privacy Act APP 5 and state Surveillance Devices Act compliance obligations. For NSW workplaces, it fulfils the entrance-signage requirement under the Workplace Surveillance Act 2005. Available in colorbond, polypropylene, aluminium, and vinyl in landscape dimensions (300×450 mm and 450×600 mm). Reflective Class 1 or Class 2 options enhance visibility in low-light conditions; lamination extends outdoor durability. Platinum Signs delivers Australia-wide with bulk pricing for multi-site rollouts and trade accounts. Materials resist UV fading and suit both covered and exposed installations.
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
When should I choose landscape over portrait format?
Landscape suits wide openings (car-park entries, dock doors, driveways) where viewers approach from a broad angle. Portrait is better for narrow entry points (pedestrian gates, single doors) with a concentrated sightline. Both carry equal legal weight.
What does 'In Use' add compared to other wording?
'In Use' explicitly signals active surveillance, strengthening the implied-consent framework. It's particularly useful where cameras are visible and operating continuously, avoiding any ambiguity about whether monitoring is actually happening.
Is lamination necessary for outdoor car parks?
Lamination is recommended for high-exposure outdoor areas to protect against UV damage, moisture, and physical wear. Colorbond and aluminium base materials offer inherent durability; lamination extends life further.
How visible does the sign need to be from a distance?
Text should be legible from at least 2 metres away at typical approach speed. Reflective finishes help in low-light conditions. Platinum Signs can advise on size selection based on your specific entry geometry.
Can I order multiple signs for a large site?
Yes — bulk orders receive tiered discounts. For 10+ units, contact our sales team for a custom quote and possible lead-time adjustment.
