Description
The Hazardous Creatures Picto delivers AS 2416.1-compliant warning in pictogram-only format, perfect for secondary marker placement and language-neutral compliance. The yellow triangle with jellyfish/stinger symbol requires no text and meets ISO pictogram standards. Standard SLSA deployment pairs one full-legend sign at the primary access point with picto-only markers every 50–100 m along the beach front. Available in three sizes (300×450 mm to 600×900 mm) across polypropylene and aluminium, this compact design reduces material cost on extended coastal installations. Platinum Signs delivers Australia-wide in 5–7 business days. Pre-drilled holes, bulk discounts for 10+ units, and trade account support included. Ideal for councils, beach management, and SLSA clubs managing seasonal stinger deployments.
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
How does a picto-only sign work with a full-legend sign?
Install the full-legend "Hazardous Creatures" sign at your primary beach entry (boardwalk, stairs, carpark). Place picto-only markers at 50–100 m intervals along the shore to reinforce the warning without text clutter — SLSA standard practice.
What size should I choose for secondary markers?
Available sizes are 300 x 450mm (Medium), 450 x 600mm (Large), 600 x 900mm (Extra Large). Viewing-distance notes are a practical selection aid, not a substitute for checking the approach distance, lighting, mounting position, wording and site risk assessment.
Can I use this sign alone, without a full-legend version?
Legally, yes — the pictogram meets AS 2416.1 compliance on its own. However, SLSA best practice recommends a full-legend sign at the primary entry point to ensure first-time visitors understand the specific hazard.
How many secondary markers do I need for a 500 m beach?
At 50 m spacing, you'd need 10 markers; at 100 m spacing, 5 markers. This varies by beach layout, visitor flow, and sightline — your local SLSA branch can conduct a free placement audit.
Do you offer discounts for large SLSA or council orders?
Volume-pricing examples are 5 signs: 8% off, 10 signs: 15% off, 25 signs: 24% off, 50 signs: 32% off, 100 signs: 40% off. Savings increase gradually between these quantities. The total increases as you add more signs, while the average price per sign falls or stays the same. The configurator calculates the total for your selected quantity.
