Description
Corrosive Hand Protection Must Be Worn signs communicate mandatory PPE requirements where workers handle acids, alkalis, or other corrosive substances. Compliance with AS 1319 ensures consistent safety messaging across facilities. Platinum Signs produces these in corflute, colorbond, and polypropylene in three sizes, with reflective and laminated upgrades for high-traffic or harsh environments. Trade accounts benefit from bulk pricing and flexible delivery across Australia.
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
Should this sign be posted at the work station or at the entrance?
Ideally both. Place one at the entrance to the corrosive handling area and another directly at the work station where gloves are required. This reinforces the message at the point of work.
What's the difference between the three available sizes?
300×225 mm is suitable for small work benches or chemical storage cabinets. 450×300 mm covers general laboratory or workshop areas. 600×450 mm is best for larger facilities or areas visible from a distance.
Does corflute hold up in wet or chemical-heavy environments?
Corflute is water-resistant and lightweight, but prolonged chemical exposure can degrade it. Colorbond is the better choice if signs will be near active chemical handling or frequent washdowns.
Are reflective finishes necessary indoors?
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.
Do you supply these with pre-drilled holes for wall mounting?
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.
