Slippery Area Sign
Product code: PSS-WS-WRN-0005
Slippery Area signs — featuring a yellow-triangle pictogram with the legend "SLIPPERY AREA" — are the frontline defence against slip injuries in aquatic centres, change rooms, and wet-work environments. Slip incidents are the leading cause of aquatic-facility claims, and visible warning signage combined with non-slip surface treatment substantially reduces operator liability.
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.

Product details
Slippery Area signs — featuring a yellow-triangle pictogram with the legend "SLIPPERY AREA" — are the frontline defence against slip injuries in aquatic centres, change rooms, and wet-work environments. Slip incidents are the leading cause of aquatic-facility claims, and visible warning signage combined with non-slip surface treatment substantially reduces operator liability.
Material choice depends on location: marine aluminium for outdoor wet zones; polypropylene for indoor pool decks and change rooms; vinyl for glass doors and internal walls. Available in four sizes from 225 × 300 mm to 600 × 900 mm. Holes and lamination options support rapid installation and long-term durability in high-moisture environments.
Platinum Signs supplies aquatic centres, councils, and facilities-management contractors Australia-wide. Our trade accounts include volume discounts, and we deliver next-day to Sydney and Melbourne. AS 2416.1 compliance is built in; your insurer will recognise the standard.
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
Does a Slippery Area sign reduce my public-liability exposure?
Significantly. Combined with documented non-slip surface treatment, visible signage demonstrates reasonable care and is expected by most public-liability insurers. It strengthens your duty-of-care defence in slip-injury claims.
Where should I mount Slippery Area signs in a pool facility?
Install at every transition to wet areas: change-room exits, shower entries, pool-deck coping, slide-landing zones, and wet-floor areas. Mount at eye level so swimmers and patrons see the warning before entering the slippery zone.
Which material suits an indoor change room?
Polypropylene is cost-effective and adequate for indoor, sheltered change rooms. Vinyl is ideal for mounting on glass doors or mirrors.
Is vinyl suitable for outdoor pool decks?
Vinyl is not recommended for prolonged outdoor exposure; it degrades under UV. Use marine aluminium or polypropylene for outdoor wet zones.
Do you supply signage for multi-facility contracts?
Yes. Trade accounts and facility-management contractors receive volume discounts on orders of 20+ signs. Contact our sales team with your facility list for a bulk quote.
