Frequently asked questions
Is a poison sign required for all chemical storage?
AS 1319 requires warning signs where toxic substances are stored or handled. Check your Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and workplace risk assessment—some chemicals demand additional labelling beyond the standard warning sign.
Should I use Class 1 or Class 2 reflective finish?
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.
Will vinyl resist chemical splashes?
Vinyl resists many common solvents and oils, but corrosive chemicals may degrade it over time. For harsh chemical environments, Colorbond steel with lamination offers superior durability.
Can I order signs for multiple chemical storage zones?
Absolutely. Bulk orders of 5+ receive tiered discounts. Provide your site map and we'll quote for your entire storage network.
How do I know which size to order?
Use 225–300 mm for small benchtop containers; 450–600 mm for cabinet and shelf storage; 600×900 mm for large outdoor chemical yards or bulk tanks.
