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.

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?
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.
