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
Should Keep Hands Clear signs be placed on moving parts or near them?
Signs must be positioned on fixed structures adjacent to the hazard zone, never on moving components themselves. Mount at eye level on the approach side so workers see the warning before reaching the danger area.
Are Keep Hands Clear signs required by law in Australia?
AS 1319 is the voluntary standard; however, most State Work Health and Safety regulations require hazard signage on machinery with pinch or crush points. Check your state's specific requirements and your equipment manual.
What size sign is needed for a small benchtop press?
Available sizes are 225 x 300mm (Small), 300 x 450mm (Medium), 450 x 600mm (Large), 600 x 900mm (Extra Large). Viewing-distance notes are a practical selection aid, not a substitute for checking the approach distance, lighting, mounting position, wording and site risk assessment.
Can vinyl Keep Hands Clear signs withstand oil and coolant spray?
Yes, vinyl is specifically formulated to resist oils, coolants, and solvents common in machining environments. Polypropylene is also oil-resistant but less durable than vinyl in prolonged exposure.
Do you offer bulk pricing for machinery manufacturers?
Volume-pricing examples are 5 signs: 8% off, 10 signs: 15% off, 25 signs: 24% off, 50 signs: 32% off, 100 signs: 40% off. Savings increase gradually between these quantities. The total increases as you add more signs, while the average price per sign falls or stays the same. The configurator calculates the total for your selected quantity.
