Description
The Sharks Picto delivers AS 2416.1 + SLSA Beach Safety Sign System (BSSS) compliance with the iconic yellow triangle and black shark-silhouette pictogram. Deployed by SLSA clubs during confirmed shark sightings, beach closures, and in known habitat zones (NSW Mid-North Coast, WA southwest). Polypropylene with pre-drilled cable-tie holes is the standard temporary-deployment choice — mount at beach-entry posts within minutes of a sighting and remove when SLSA patrol re-opens the beach. Marine aluminium suits permanent installations at SLSA clubrooms and high-traffic entry points where durability and visibility matter. Platinum Signs supplies SLSA-accredited signage across three sizes (300×450 mm to 600×900 mm). Australia-wide delivery in 5–7 days; bulk discounts for clubs and councils; customisation included.
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 quickly can I deploy this sign after a shark sighting?
Polypropylene with pre-drilled holes mounts in under 2 minutes via cable ties to existing posts — ideal for rapid SLSA patrol deployment. Aluminium requires bolts or anchors and takes 5–10 minutes depending on mount type.
What's the standard SLSA deployment protocol?
The appropriate safety-sign category, wording, placement and supporting controls depend on the product purpose, site risk and applicable jurisdiction. Confirm the requirement with your WHS adviser or regulator; a sign alone does not discharge WHS duties.
Should I stock multiple sizes at my SLSA club?
Many clubs keep 300×450 mm (quick-deploy portable) and 600×900 mm (high-visibility at primary entries) on hand. Discuss your beach layout and sightline distances with your patrol captain to determine optimal sizing.
Is aluminium worth the cost for temporary use?
For permanent clubroom or entry-post mounting, yes — aluminium resists salt spray and UV indefinitely. For rapid temporary deployment, polypropylene is faster to mount, lighter to store, and more cost-effective.
Do SLSA clubs receive bulk pricing?
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.
