Description
Prevent dropped-load injuries on construction sites and in lifting operations with this essential AS 1319 warning sign. The yellow-and-black triangle alerts personnel to keep clear when buckets, hoists, or suspended loads are in use above work areas. Supplied in corflute, polypropylene, Colorbond, or vinyl in four standard sizes (225×300 mm to 600×900 mm). Choose size based on the height and distance from which the hazard is visible. Add lamination for weather and wear resistance, or reflective Class 1 or 2 sheeting for enhanced visibility in dim lighting or night shifts. Trade customers receive volume discounts on site-wide installations. Fast Australia-wide delivery available.
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
How high should I mount this sign above a work area?
Position it at or slightly above eye level on the perimeter of the exclusion zone, so workers notice it before entering the hazard area.
What's the best material for a construction site?
Corflute is lightweight and portable; Colorbond is durable for long-term installations; vinyl suits temporary fencing or barriers.
Do I need reflective sheeting for daytime use?
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.
Can you supply signs for multiple lifting points on one site?
Yes. Provide the number of locations and we'll offer bulk pricing; delivery is coordinated across Australia.
Is lamination worth the extra cost?
For outdoor or wet sites, lamination extends print life and prevents water damage—a worthwhile investment for high-traffic areas.
