Description
A concise, direct mandatory sign that communicates hard hat requirements without additional text. Compliant with AS 1319, the blue circle and white pictogram are instantly recognised across all Australian industrial and construction environments. Mount at site gates, entrance points, and within controlled zones to maintain consistent safety messaging. Offered in four robust materials: corflute for indoor installations, polypropylene for UV-resistant durability, colorbond for extreme weather, and vinyl for flexible mounting. Four larger sizes from 225×300 mm to 600×900 mm ensure visibility across expansive work areas. Reflective finishes, lamination, and pre-drilled holes are available to customise each sign for its location. Platinum Signs delivers Australia-wide with volume discounts for trade accounts. In-house manufacturing allows rapid turnaround and custom sizing on request.
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
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.
