Take Care Lifting signs alert workers to manual handling hazards and encourage proper lifting technique to prevent back and muscle injuries. Built to AS 1319 standards with the recognisable yellow and black triangle warning format, these signs are essential in warehouses, retail stockrooms, and any environment involving load handling. Available in corflute, polypropylene, Colorbond steel, and vinyl in four sizes from 225×300 mm to 600×900 mm. All materials feature UV-resistant inks for outdoor durability. Reflective Class 1 and Class 2 finishes enhance visibility in low-light areas. Trade accounts access bulk discounts 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
Where should lifting signs be positioned in a warehouse?
Mount near loading docks, packing areas, and storage racks at eye level. Place signs where workers pick or carry items regularly, before they begin the task.
Is 225×300 mm large enough for a warehouse?
225×300 mm suits close-range areas like narrow aisles or internal storage cupboards. For main warehouse floors, 450×600 mm or larger ensures visibility from across the space.
What material resists wear in high-traffic areas?
Colorbond steel or laminated polypropylene both withstand heavy foot traffic and forklift bumps. Vinyl is also durable but slightly less impact-resistant than steel.
Should I order different sizes for different zones?
Yes, tiered sizing is common in large facilities. Use 300×450 mm in compact stockrooms and 600×900 mm in expansive warehouses. We offer volume discounts for mixed-size orders.
Do these signs replace manual handling training?
Signs reinforce training but don't replace formal instruction. Combined with ongoing training and ergonomic assessments, they significantly reduce injury rates.
