Description
Alternative-format smoking-permitted sign for multi-zone sites requiring visual separation between designated areas. Useful where staff smoking zones differ from visitor smoking zones, or where internal site maps reference distinct sub-areas by design. Meets the same compliance requirements as the standard variant but offers differentiation without additional regulatory burden. Available in vinyl, polypropylene, and Colorbond in four standard sizes. Mounting holes and lamination protect signage in outdoor or semi-exposed locations. Platinum Signs delivers Australia-wide with volume discounts for organisations managing multiple smoking zones.
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
When would I use the alternative format instead of the standard variant?
The appropriate safety-sign category, wording, placement and supporting controls depend on the product purpose, site risk and applicable jurisdiction. Confirm the requirement with your WHS adviser or regulator; a sign alone does not discharge WHS duties.
Are both formats equally compliant?
Yes. Both variants meet AS 1319 and WHS requirements for smoking-permitted signage. Choice between them is operational, not regulatory.
What's the typical installation height?
Mount at eye level (1.4–1.7 m) near zone entrances so the message is visible before someone enters. For gate posts or fence lines, position to be legible from the approach path.
Can I laminate polypropylene for extra durability?
Yes. Lamination is available as an extra and adds weather protection and gloss finish. It's recommended for high-traffic areas or outdoor locations exposed to salt spray or UV.
Do you customise text or graphics for internal site zones?
Standard designs are printed as-is. For custom text (e.g. zone names or specific rules), contact sales to discuss custom print options and lead times.
