Description
This mandatory hearing protection sign features the AS 1319-compliant blue circle and white pictogram, clearly communicating that ear protection is required in the designated zone. Position at entry points and throughout areas where noise exposure demands PPE compliance. Available in colorbond, polypropylene, and vinyl across four sizes from 240×180 mm to 600×450 mm. Polypropylene and colorbond both handle outdoor UV exposure well; lamination upgrades add extra weather resistance for high-traffic or harsh environments. Order online for Australia-wide delivery. Trade accounts qualify for bulk discounts on multi-sign orders. Holes and reflective upgrades (Class 1 or 2) are available to suit your site layout and visibility needs.
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
Is this sign suitable for outdoor construction sites?
Yes. Polypropylene and colorbond are both UV-stable and designed for outdoor conditions. For maximum durability in harsh weather, add lamination or choose colorbond with Class 2 reflective finish.
What does AS 1319 require for mandatory signs?
The appropriate safety-sign category, wording, placement and supporting controls depend on the product purpose, site risk and applicable jurisdiction. Confirm the requirement with your WHS adviser or regulator; a sign alone does not discharge WHS duties.
Can I order these in bulk with a discount?
Volume-pricing examples are 5 signs: 8% off, 10 signs: 15% off, 25 signs: 24% off, 50 signs: 32% off, 100 signs: 40% off. Savings increase gradually between these quantities. The total increases as you add more signs, while the average price per sign falls or stays the same. The configurator calculates the total for your selected quantity.
What size should I choose for my site?
Available sizes are 240 x 180mm, 300 x 225mm, 450 x 300mm, 600 x 450mm. Viewing-distance notes are a practical selection aid, not a substitute for checking the approach distance, lighting, mounting position, wording and site risk assessment.
Do you offer installation holes or mounting options?
Yes. Pre-drilled holes are available as an add-on, and reflective upgrades help with low-light visibility. Choose the extras that match your mounting surface and site conditions.
