Eye Protection Must Be Worn When Equipment Is Operating Sign
Product code: PSS-MAN-005
Communicate conditional eye protection requirements where machinery poses intermittent hazard. This AS 1319 mandatory sign uses the blue circle and white pictogram to instruct workers that eye protection is mandatory only while equipment runs, reducing confusion and improving compliance in mixed-use workshops.
Material
Rigid coated sheet steel suited to demanding indoor and outdoor installations. Print life depends on finish, exposure, edges and mounting.
Viewing distance is indicative; check approach distance, lighting and mounting position for the site.

Supplied in colorbond, polypropylene, and vinyl across four sizes from 240×180 mm to 600×450 mm. Lamination is recommended for machine-adjacent mounting where coolant splash or dust accumulation occurs. Platinum Signs manufactures in Australia and delivers nationwide with competitive trade pricing and bulk discounts for multi-machine or multi-facility orders.
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.

Frequently asked questions
Which size should I mount directly on the machine?
240×180 mm or 300×225 mm work well for machine-mounted placement where space is tight. Larger sizes (450×300 mm+) suit wall or gate mounting where workers see the sign before approaching.
Is lamination worth it for a machine-shop environment?
Yes. Lamination protects against coolant, oil, and metal shavings, extending sign life significantly in machine shops. Without it, expect fading and surface damage within 12–18 months.
Do I need reflective versions for equipment in shaded areas?
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.
Can I order one sign per machine and combine delivery?
Yes. Group all machines into a single order and we'll deliver to your site in one shipment, reducing costs and coordination effort.
What's the difference between colorbond and polypropylene for durability?
Colorbond is heavier-gauge and more resistant to impact and warping; polypropylene is lighter and more cost-effective but less robust. For high-vibration machinery, colorbond is the stronger choice.
