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
What's the correct height to mount an electrical hazard sign?
Mount at eye level (1.4–1.7 m) on or immediately adjacent to the electrical equipment—switchboards, distribution panels, or enclosure doors. Ensure the sign is visible before anyone approaches the hazard.
Is lamination necessary for electrical cabinet signs?
Yes. Lamination protects against condensation, dust ingress, and moisture that accumulate inside enclosures, maintaining legibility and adhesive durability over years of operation.
Which material resists moisture best in outdoor substations?
Colorbond steel with lamination offers maximum weather resistance for outdoor electrical installations. Vinyl is moisture-resistant but less durable than steel in harsh conditions.
Do you supply signs for multiple voltage levels?
Our standard sign covers general electrical hazard. For specific voltage warnings (e.g. 11 kV, 33 kV), contact our design team to customise text or add voltage ratings.
What discounts apply to electrical contractors?
Automatic volume pricing is 5–9 signs: 8% off, 10–24 signs: 15% off, 25–49 signs: 24% off, 50–99 signs: 32% off, 100+ signs: 40% off. The configurator is the source of truth and updates the unit price as quantity changes.
