Description
Warn workers of pinch-point hazards with this AS 1319-standard yellow and black sign. Machinery, press brakes, hydraulic systems, and moving parts demand clear, visible alerts positioned at eye level near the hazard. Four material options—corflute, polypropylene, Colorbond, and vinyl—suit everything from factory floors to outdoor construction zones. Sizes range from 225×300 mm for localised machinery to 600×900 mm for large equipment areas. Reflective finishes, lamination, and pre-drilled mounting holes are available. Platinum Signs delivers Australia-wide with bulk pricing for multi-machine or multi-site orders.
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 mount a pinch-point sign?
Position it at eye level (1.4–1.7 m high) directly adjacent to the hazard source—on guards, frames, or nearby structures. Ensure nothing obscures the symbol or text from the operator's normal viewing angle.
Is lamination worth adding for machinery areas?
Yes. Lamination protects against oil splash, coolant spray, and abrasion from handling, extending sign life significantly in industrial environments.
What size sign for a small press brake vs large hydraulic 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.
Do you offer custom layouts for multiple pinch points?
We can print custom multi-hazard layouts. Contact our design team with your equipment specifications and we'll provide a quote.
What's the lead time for laminated signs?
Standard laminated orders ship in 5–7 business days. Bulk or custom orders may require 10–14 days; we'll confirm timing before you pay.
