Description
Alert operators and nearby workers to automatic machine start hazards with this AS 1319-compliant warning sign. The yellow and black triangle format communicates caution-level risk in factories, workshops, and production lines where machinery cycles without manual trigger. Four sizes match typical viewing distances from control stations to factory floors. Corflute, polypropylene, Colorbond, and vinyl substrates suit indoor and outdoor plant areas. UV-stable inks retain clarity in harsh industrial conditions. Platinum Signs supports bulk orders with trade pricing and nationwide delivery.
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
Where exactly should I position an automatic start warning sign?
Mount at eye level on or immediately adjacent to the machine, and at entry points to the work zone. Ensure the sign is visible from all approach angles so operators and nearby staff see the warning before entering the hazard area.
Is this sign mandatory under Australian safety regulations?
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.
What's the best material for a busy factory floor?
Colorbond steel withstands impacts, heat, and oil splash. Polypropylene is durable and cost-effective for moderate-traffic areas. Vinyl suits temporary installations. All materials resist fading under factory lighting and UV exposure.
Can I add emergency stop symbols or additional text?
Yes. Platinum Signs produces custom machine warning signs with additional symbols, QR codes, or facility-specific text. Request a custom quote for your exact specification.
Do you offer lamination for extra durability?
Yes. Lamination protects against scratches, chemical splash, and graffiti, extending sign life in harsh industrial environments. It's available as an optional extra on all materials.
