Description
Protect workers from electrical hazards with this AS 1319-compliant yellow and black warning sign. Electrical switchboards, distribution panels, live equipment, and high-voltage zones require clear, visible alerts to prevent contact injuries and electrocution. Available in corflute, polypropylene, Colorbond steel, and vinyl; four sizes accommodate everything from compact switchboards to large outdoor substations. Reflective Class 1 and Class 2 finishes ensure visibility in poor light. Lamination guards against moisture and dust in electrical enclosures. Platinum Signs offers bulk pricing for multi-panel installations and Australia-wide 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.

Available materials
| Material | Specification |
|---|---|
| Corflute (5mm) | Lightweight corrugated plastic board. Easy to fix to fences, hoarding, and temporary structures. Indicative service life: Temporary use; exposure and installation affect service life. Typical use: Construction sites, temporary signage, events. |
| Polypropylene (1.6mm) | Rigid plastic sheet suited to indoor and sheltered or general outdoor applications, subject to the print finish and site exposure. Indicative service life: Medium-term use; site conditions apply. Typical use: Warehouses, factories, permanent indoor/outdoor. |
| Colorbond Steel (0.6mm) | Rigid coated sheet steel suited to demanding indoor and outdoor installations. Print life depends on finish, exposure, edges and mounting. Indicative service life: Long-term substrate; print and site conditions apply. Typical use: Permanent installations, harsh environments. |
| Self-Adhesive Vinyl (Sticker) | Peel-and-stick vinyl for smooth surfaces. Walls, doors, machinery, and equipment labelling. Indicative service life: Short- to medium-term use; surface and exposure affect service life. Typical use: Indoor walls, equipment labels, smooth surfaces. |

Frequently asked
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?
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.
