Bombing Prohibited Sign
Product code: PSS-WS-PRH-0006
AS 2416.1–compliant prohibition addressing "bombing" — the Australian term for high-impact knee-tucked pool entry. This behaviour causes spinal shock, bather collisions, and excessive splash, making it a hazard in all commercial pools and most residential facilities. The red annulus and tucked-knees pictogram are immediately recognisable to Australian swimmers.
Material
Rigid plastic sheet suited to indoor and sheltered or general outdoor applications, subject to the print finish and site exposure.
Viewing distance is indicative; check approach distance, lighting and mounting position for the site.
Includes $2.45 GST

Product details
AS 2416.1–compliant prohibition addressing "bombing" — the Australian term for high-impact knee-tucked pool entry. This behaviour causes spinal shock, bather collisions, and excessive splash, making it a hazard in all commercial pools and most residential facilities. The red annulus and tucked-knees pictogram are immediately recognisable to Australian swimmers.
Offered in marine-grade aluminium for coastal pools, polypropylene for residential and indoor commercial settings, and vinyl for glass pool-house doors. Sizes range from 225×300 mm to 600×900 mm, allowing you to match signage density to facility size. Mounting holes and lamination options support long-term durability in chlorinated and saltwater environments.
Check the sign format before ordering
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.
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
Is this different from the 'No Diving' sign?
Yes — No Diving addresses head-first entry; Bombing Prohibited addresses knees-tucked high-impact entry. Both are AS 2416.1–registered and target different injury mechanisms. Many commercial pools display both.
Which material is best for outdoor council pools?
Marine-grade aluminium is the preferred choice for council and public pools exposed to sun, salt spray, and chlorine. It resists corrosion and maintains appearance over years of outdoor use.
What's the typical deployment pattern?
Most facilities place one full-legend sign at the primary pool entrance and secondary picto-only markers at additional pool corners or high-traffic zones for 360° visibility.
Can I order a bulk discount for multiple sites?
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.
Is lamination necessary in an indoor pool?
Indoor pools have lower UV exposure but higher humidity and chlorine vapour. Lamination extends sign life and maintains legibility, though it's optional for sheltered indoor locations.
