Description
Machinery servicing demands lockout procedures and clear warnings. This danger sign communicates the critical requirement to shut down and isolate equipment before maintenance, preventing entanglement, crushing, and electrocution injuries. The AS 1319 red header and white 'DANGER' text meet statutory requirements for immediate life-threatening hazards. Platinum Signs supplies corflute, polypropylene, Colorbond, and vinyl in four sizes (225×300 mm to 600×900 mm) to factories, workshops, and service providers. Trade accounts receive volume pricing, reflective coatings, and lamination for high-wear environments.
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
Where exactly should I mount this sign on a machine?
Attach directly to the equipment at access points (panels, covers, doors) at eye level, and on the main power isolation point. Use multiple signs if the machine has several service access areas.
Does this sign replace a lockout-tagout (LOTO) system?
No. This sign reinforces LOTO procedures and safe work method statements. It alerts personnel to the hazard; your LOTO procedure and training ensure compliance and safety.
Is vinyl suitable for machine-mounted signs exposed to oils and coolants?
Yes, vinyl resists oils and chemical splashes. Colorbond is equally robust and more durable long-term. Avoid corflute and standard polypropylene in wet or chemical-heavy machine environments.
Can I order signs with our company logo or additional safety text?
Yes. Custom printing is available on corflute and polypropylene. Supply your artwork or brief, and we'll provide a proof before production. Custom orders typically ship in 10–14 days.
What's the warranty or replacement policy if a sign fades or degrades?
We guarantee legibility for 12 months from delivery under normal conditions. Faded or damaged signs can be reprinted and resupplied at cost. Lamination significantly extends lifespan and is recommended for high-wear areas.
