Product details
Match the warning to the identified toxic hazard
Use the sign only where the site assessment calls for the TOXIC HAZARD warning. The verified face combines a yellow warning field, black triangle, skull-and-crossbones pictogram and the exact legend. Confirm the substance, exposure route and intended message rather than selecting the sign from the room name alone.
Choose the material and portrait size
Polypropylene is the default rigid option. Vinyl suits a prepared smooth surface, Corflute suits temporary placement, and Colorbond steel provides a stronger mechanically fixed face. Choose 225 × 300 mm for close approaches, 300 × 450 mm for more prominence, or 450 × 600 mm for larger or visually busy approaches.
Install the warning before exposure
Place the sign next to the hazard or before the controlled work, handling or storage area so people can see and act on it before exposure. Keep the full symbol and legend unobstructed, check the view with doors and equipment in their normal positions, and repeat the warning at separate approaches when required.
Keep chemical identification and controls in place
The sign supports hazard communication but does not replace a correct GHS container or pipework label, safety data sheet, chemical register or required ADG placard. Maintain the isolation, ventilation, storage, spill, emergency, PPE, training and supervision controls selected for the chemical and task.
Check the sign format before ordering
This is a general workplace TOXIC HAZARD warning sign. It is not a GHS container label or an ADG Class 6.1 dangerous-goods label. Confirm the hazard classification, location, wording, labels, placards and supporting controls from the current SDS, site risk assessment and applicable requirements.
- Safe Work Australia — Hazardous chemical signs and placards — Safe Work Australia describes safety signs as a risk-control measure for hazardous chemicals and says a sign should be next to the hazard and clearly visible to people approaching it. Read source (opens in a new tab)A general warning sign is different from a prescribed workplace placard; confirm whether threshold placarding or another exact format also applies.
- Safe Work Australia — Using the GHS — Safe Work Australia explains that workplace chemical hazards are communicated through labels and safety data sheets, using classified pictograms, signal words, hazard statements and precautionary statements. Read source (opens in a new tab)This Toxic Hazard warning sign does not replace the GHS label or safety data sheet required for the chemical.
Before ordering
- Confirm that the exact TOXIC HAZARD legend and skull-and-crossbones warning match the assessed site hazard.
- Identify every normal approach where people need the warning before potential exposure.
- Choose polypropylene, vinyl, Corflute or Colorbond for the mounting surface and intended duration.
- Choose a portrait size that remains clear before the controlled area or hazard is reached.
- Confirm the separate GHS labels, SDS, placards, procedures and exposure controls required for the chemical and task.
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 is printed on this Toxic sign?
The verified portrait artwork has a yellow background, a black warning triangle with a skull-and-crossbones pictogram, and the exact legend TOXIC HAZARD. It warns people approaching a toxic-hazard area identified by the site's chemical risk assessment.
Is this a GHS chemical label or an ADG Class 6.1 label?
No. This is a workplace warning sign, not a replacement for the GHS label on a hazardous-chemical container and not the dangerous-goods Class 6.1 diamond used for transport or placarding. Confirm which identification system the substance and location require.
Where should the Toxic Hazard sign be displayed?
Place it next to the identified hazard or at the normal approach to the controlled work, storage or handling area, where the complete pictogram and TOXIC HAZARD legend can be seen before exposure. Repeat it at separate approaches when one face is not visible from every access path.
Which material and size should I choose?
Polypropylene is the default rigid option. Self-adhesive vinyl suits a clean smooth surface, 5 mm Corflute suits temporary placement, and Colorbond steel provides a stronger mechanically fixed face. Choose 225 × 300 mm for close approaches, 300 × 450 mm for more prominence, or 450 × 600 mm for larger or visually busy approaches. Optional holes apply only to rigid materials.
Does the sign replace chemical labels, an SDS or exposure controls?
No. Keep the correct container and pipework labels, safety data sheets and chemical register current, and apply the isolation, ventilation, storage, handling, spill, emergency, PPE, training and supervision controls selected for the substance and task. The sign supports those controls; it does not replace them.
What volume discounts apply?
