Description
Alert workers and contractors to rockfall hazards near excavations, steep cuttings, quarries, and embankments. This warning sign is essential for mining operations, civil works, and geological sites where falling debris poses a serious risk. Designed to meet AS 1319 safety labelling standards for clarity and immediate recognition. Supplied in corflute, polypropylene, colorbond, and vinyl across three sizes (300×450 mm to 600×900 mm). Reflective Class 1 and Class 2 finishes are available for visibility in shadowed or night-time conditions. Holes and lamination options secure the sign and extend its lifespan in harsh outdoor environments. Platinum Signs offers competitive trade pricing, bulk discounts, and Australia-wide delivery. Custom specifications can be arranged.
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.
