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.
This is general product information, not legal or engineering advice. A safety sign is one part of a workplace control system; confirm the site and jurisdictional requirements before ordering.

Frequently asked questions
How do I know which distance to specify for my cylinders?
Check AS 1596 Table 3.1: cylinders ≤50 kg require 3 m clearance, 50–500 kg require 5 m, and tanks >500 kg require 10 m. If your site has mixed sizes, install separate signs at each zone with the appropriate distance.
Can I order multiple signs with different distances in one shipment?
Yes. Add a note in the order specifying the distance for each sign and we'll print accordingly. Bulk orders with mixed distances receive standard volume pricing.
Where exactly should the sign be positioned around a cylinder cage?
Mount at cage entry points and perimeter fencing at eye level so the distance boundary is clear. For decanting areas, position the sign so the clearance zone is visible from the operator's work position.
Is lamination worth the cost for outdoor gas storage areas?
Yes. Lamination protects against UV, moisture, and potential chemical splash in gas-handling zones, maintaining legibility and compliance signage throughout the sign's service life.
Do you print the distance as text or graphic on the sign?
The distance is printed as part of the sign message (e.g. 'No Smoking Or Open Flames Within 5 Metres'). Specify your distance clearly when ordering and we'll incorporate it into the design.
