Description
This comprehensive hard hat area sign combines instruction with context, making expectations crystal clear to every worker entering the zone. Fully compliant with AS 1319, the blue circle and white pictogram are the standard language of mandatory safety across Australian workplaces. Deploy at site entrances, gatelines, and high-risk zones to reinforce helmet discipline. Available in corflute, colorbond, and polypropylene—all proven substrates for industrial environments. Four larger sizes from 225×300 mm to 600×900 mm ensure readability even from distance. Reflective finishes, lamination, and pre-drilled holes are available to suit your specific installation and visibility needs. Platinum Signs manufactures in-house and delivers Australia-wide. Trade accounts enjoy volume discounts; custom sizes and material combinations are straightforward to arrange.
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
Why choose a larger size like 600×900 mm?
Larger formats are visible from greater distances and command attention in sprawling work environments. Use them at main entrances or where sightlines span 20+ metres.
What's the advantage of colorbond over corflute?
Colorbond is heavier-gauge and resists denting, fading, and weather damage far longer than corflute. It's ideal for permanent installations or harsh conditions.
Can I order a mix of sizes for different site locations?
Yes. Specify your size and material breakdown in the order notes, or contact us for a bulk quote tailored to your site layout.
Is lamination worth the extra cost?
Lamination extends sign life by protecting against UV, moisture, and impact. For outdoor or high-traffic areas, it's a worthwhile investment in durability.
How do I install this sign on a steel or concrete surface?
Pre-drilled holes accommodate bolts or heavy-duty screws. We recommend stainless steel fasteners for outdoor exposure to prevent corrosion.
