Description
The Keep Clear of Moving Machinery sign communicates AS 1319-standard warnings for rotating shafts, conveyor belts, punch presses, and other powered equipment that poses entanglement or impact hazards. The yellow and black triangle format ensures rapid recognition in busy factory and workshop environments. Manufactured from corflute, polypropylene, Colorbond, or vinyl, each material suits different industrial contexts—choose Colorbond for outdoor plant equipment, vinyl for chemical-rich areas, or polypropylene for general indoor use. Reflective and laminated options enhance visibility in dim lighting or high-wear zones. Platinum Signs delivers nationwide with bulk discounts for trade accounts.
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 far from the machinery should the warning sign be positioned?
Position signs at safe stopping distance—typically 1–2 metres from rotating or moving parts, depending on equipment speed and worker approach paths. Signs must be visible before a person enters the danger zone.
Are Keep Clear of Moving Machinery signs suitable for outdoor conveyor systems?
Yes, Colorbond or laminated polypropylene are ideal for outdoor conveyors, resisting UV and weather while maintaining legibility. Reflective Class 2 finishes improve visibility in overcast or shaded outdoor areas.
What's the best material for a sign near a lathe in a machine shop?
Polypropylene or vinyl work well near lathes; vinyl is preferred if coolant mist is heavy. Avoid corflute in this setting as it can absorb moisture and degrade faster.
Can I laminate a Keep Clear of Moving Machinery sign after purchase?
We recommend ordering with lamination included at purchase for best adhesion and finish. Post-purchase lamination may not adhere uniformly and can void the UV warranty.
Do you supply Keep Clear of Moving Machinery signs pre-assembled on frames?
We supply signs with optional pre-drilled holes for mounting. We can also advise on frame suppliers and installation best practices for your specific equipment layout.
