Frequently asked questions
Is this sign suitable for LOTO (lockout/tagout) programs?
Yes, it's designed to support lockout procedures and should be used alongside physical locks and tags. Ensure your LOTO policy references the sign placement and messaging.
Which material is best for a plant room with moisture?
Colorbond steel or vinyl are moisture-resistant and won't degrade in humid conditions. Vinyl is lightweight for temporary installations; steel suits permanent mounting.
Can I order these pre-drilled for quick installation?
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.
Are volume discounts available for multiple machines?
Automatic volume pricing is 5–9 signs: 8% off, 10–24 signs: 15% off, 25–49 signs: 24% off, 50–99 signs: 32% off, 100+ signs: 40% off. The configurator is the source of truth and updates the unit price as quantity changes.
How do I ensure this sign stays visible over time?
Lamination adds UV and scratch protection, especially valuable in high-traffic maintenance areas. Class 2 reflective finish also helps in low-light workshops.
