Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between this sign and the longer 'Hard Hat Area Safety Helmets Must Be Worn' version?
This version is shorter and more concise, ideal when space is limited or you prefer minimal text. Both carry the same AS 1319 mandatory instruction.
Which material is best for a mining site with extreme weather?
Colorbond is engineered for harsh conditions—UV, salt spray, dust, and temperature swings. It's the premium choice for remote or exposed locations.
How many signs do I need for a large construction site?
Place one at each entrance and throughout the site at regular intervals (typically every 30–50 metres in high-traffic areas). We'll help you plan coverage when you provide your site dimensions.
Can I add reflective Class 2 to make this sign more visible at night?
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.
What's included if I order pre-drilled holes?
Yes. Four-corner pre-drilled holes are an optional extra with a base surcharge of $3.00 inc GST per sign for the listed configurations, before any applicable volume discount. Select the option to update the configured total before adding to cart.
