No Lifeguard On Duty — Swim At Own Risk Sign
Product code: PSS-WS-POL-0006
This sign communicates to pool users that no lifeguard is present and entry is at their own risk. It follows AS 2416 warning format and is essential for commercial pools, hotels, caravan parks, and aquatic facilities operating without permanent supervision. While the sign does not eliminate operator responsibility, public-liability insurers typically require it as a policy condition, and it strengthens your legal position in negligence defence.
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.

Frequently asked questions
Is this sign a legal requirement?
It is not mandated by statute, but most public-liability insurance policies require it as a condition. Check your policy wording and combine it with supervision protocols, CPR signage, and emergency contact points for comprehensive risk management.
What size should I order for a residential pool?
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 laminate the sign for pool-side durability?
Yes — lamination protects against chlorine splash, UV fading, and weather exposure. We recommend it for outdoor pools or high-humidity indoor facilities.
Do you offer bulk discounts for multi-site operators?
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.
What is the difference between polypropylene and colorbond?
Polypropylene is lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and cost-effective for indoor and sheltered pools. Colorbond is heavier, more rigid, and better suited to high-wind or coastal environments.
