Description
This mandatory safety sign alerts operators and bystanders that hearing protection is compulsory whenever machinery is running. Compliant with AS 1319 standards, it features the distinctive blue circle and white pictogram recognised across Australian workplaces. Manufactured from colorbond, polypropylene, or vinyl in four sizes (240×180 mm to 600×450 mm), the sign performs reliably in workshops, factories, and outdoor plant areas. Platinum Signs delivers nationwide and offers trade discounts on bulk orders; add reflective or laminated finishes to boost visibility in low-light or harsh weather conditions.
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
Should this sign go near the equipment or at the entry?
Place it at both locations if possible: at the equipment itself to catch operators, and at the work area entry to remind all personnel of the requirement before machinery starts.
What's the difference between Class 1 and Class 2 reflective?
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.
How durable is colorbond compared to polypropylene?
Colorbond is metal-based and more impact-resistant; polypropylene is lighter and easier to handle. Both resist UV well; choose colorbond for high-traffic or rough-handling sites.
Can I order a mix of sizes in one shipment?
Yes, and you'll receive a single freight charge. Mixing sizes is common for sites with multiple equipment areas requiring different sign prominence.
Do you provide installation advice?
Our team can recommend placement heights and angles for optimal visibility. We also supply pre-drilled options and can advise on outdoor mounting brackets suitable for your site.
