Description
Stop accidental machine start-up with this AS 1319–compliant danger sign. The red oval header and white 'DANGER' text alert workers and contractors that equipment is locked out or under maintenance. Platinum Signs produces these signs in corflute, polypropylene, Colorbond steel, and vinyl across four standard sizes (225×300 mm to 600×900 mm). Reflective Class 1 and 2 options enhance visibility during shift changes and maintenance windows. Lamination resists grease and dust in workshop settings. Trade accounts receive bulk pricing and Australia-wide delivery.
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
Can this sign be used as a lockout tag replacement?
No, this is a permanent hazard sign for fixed installation. Use it alongside lockout tags on control panels or machine frames to reinforce the danger message.
What material handles workshop moisture and temperature swings best?
Colorbond steel or laminated polypropylene perform well in damp, temperature-variable settings. Avoid unlaminated corflute if condensation is frequent.
How should I position the sign on a control panel?
Mount at eye level (1.5 m) directly above or beside the start button or main power switch, ensuring it's visible before the operator reaches the control.
Do you offer custom text for specific equipment types?
Standard designs comply with AS 1319. Custom text requires a design proof; contact our team for a quote and lead time.
What's the cost difference between materials for this sign?
Corflute is the most economical; polypropylene and vinyl are mid-range; Colorbond steel is premium but lasts longest. Request a quote comparing all four for your required size.
