Frequently asked
How do I know if Type A or Type B applies to my chemical storage?
Type A covers general hazardous substance areas with standard handling procedures. Type B applies to restricted zones or high-hazard chemical processes requiring specialist access.
Will vinyl stick permanently to a metal cabinet?
Vinyl adheres well to clean, dry metal surfaces. For best results, degrease the surface first and apply firm, even pressure. Laminated vinyl lasts longer outdoors.
Are your signs compliant with WorkSafe requirements?
Yes, all danger signs meet AS 1319 specifications for colour, contrast, pictogram placement, and text. This satisfies WorkSafe and most state-based safety regulators.
What happens if a sign fades or peels?
Laminated finishes resist fading significantly longer. Non-laminated signs may fade in direct sunlight after 2–3 years depending on UV exposure.
Can I order replacement signs on a standing order?
Trade accounts can arrange automatic reorders on a schedule you set. Speak to our account managers about setting up a recurring order.
