Choosing the right safety sign

Start with the actual hazard, instruction or location that needs to be identified. Choose wording that matches the site requirement, then consider the viewing distance, mounting area and the people who need to read it. A larger format can help where people approach quickly or from farther away; combined or multilingual signs can make several essential instructions clear at one entry point.

Sign type, colour, symbol, wording, size and placement should suit the assessed hazard and any applicable Australian requirement. Safety signs support a site’s procedures and training; they do not replace a risk assessment, emergency plan or professional advice.

Safety sign materials

Product options include aluminium composite panel, aluminium, polypropylene, foam PVC, corflute and self-adhesive sticker stock. Choose the material for the mounting surface, environment, expected life and whether the sign is needed indoors, outdoors or temporarily.

Safety sign FAQs

Which safety sign category should I choose?

Choose the category that describes the message and risk: danger for an immediate extreme hazard, warning for a potential hazard or unsafe condition, mandatory for an action that must be followed, and prohibition for an action or access that is not permitted. Emergency, fire, exit, traffic and information categories cover their specific applications.

What material is best for an outdoor safety sign?

The best choice depends on the expected life, exposure, mounting surface and project requirements. Aluminium or aluminium composite panel can suit durable outdoor installations, while corflute can suit temporary use. Check the product options and confirm the material with the responsible person for the site.

Can you make a safety sign with custom wording?

Yes. Provide the exact wording, size, material, symbols, logo and quantity required. The team can prepare custom artwork for approval before manufacturing the sign.
