Description
Enforce respiratory protection requirements with this AS 1319-standard mandatory sign.

Supplied in corflute, colorbond, and polypropylene in three compact sizes (300×225 mm to 600×400 mm), making it suitable for confined spaces and entry gates. Lamination and reflective options available for challenging site conditions.

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
What's the difference between corflute and colorbond for hazardous areas?
Corflute is lightweight and cost-effective for indoor use; colorbond is heavier-gauge and better suited to outdoor or high-traffic zones where impact resistance matters. Both meet AS 1319 colour and contrast standards.
Should I use reflective versions in confined spaces?
Reflective grades provide different visibility performance. Choose the grade required by the project specification and site conditions, and confirm any road, traffic or high-risk requirement with the relevant authority before ordering.
How do I order multiple signs for different entry points?
Use the bulk order function or contact our trade team directly. We can coordinate delivery to multiple site locations on a single invoice.
Are pre-drilled options available?
Yes. Four-corner pre-drilled holes are an optional extra with a base surcharge of $3.00 inc GST per sign for the listed configurations, before any applicable volume discount. Select the option to update the configured total before adding to cart.
What's your return policy if a sign doesn't fit my space?
We offer a 14-day return window on unused stock. For custom sizing or material swaps, contact our sales team—we can often accommodate last-minute changes.
