Hearing Protection Must Be Worn When Equipment Is Operating Sign
Product code: PSS-MAN-020
This mandatory safety sign alerts operators and bystanders that hearing protection is compulsory whenever machinery is running. Compliant with AS 1319 standards, it features the distinctive blue circle and white pictogram recognised across Australian workplaces. Manufactured from colorbond, polypropylene, or vinyl in four sizes (240×180 mm to 600×450 mm), the sign performs reliably in workshops, factories, and outdoor plant areas. Platinum Signs delivers nationwide and offers trade discounts on bulk orders; add reflective or laminated finishes to boost visibility in low-light or harsh weather conditions.
Material
Rigid plastic sheet suited to indoor and sheltered or general outdoor applications, subject to the print finish and site exposure.

Check the sign format before ordering
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.
This is general product information, not legal or engineering advice. A safety sign is one part of a workplace control system; confirm the site and jurisdictional requirements before ordering.
Material options
Rigid coated sheet steel suited to demanding indoor and outdoor installations. Print life depends on finish, exposure, edges and mounting.
Indicative durability: Long-term substrate; print and site conditions apply · Typical use: Permanent installations, harsh environments
Rigid plastic sheet suited to indoor and sheltered or general outdoor applications, subject to the print finish and site exposure.
Indicative durability: Medium-term use; site conditions apply · Typical use: Warehouses, factories, permanent indoor/outdoor
Peel-and-stick vinyl for smooth surfaces. Walls, doors, machinery, and equipment labelling.
Indicative durability: Short- to medium-term use; surface and exposure affect service life · Typical use: Indoor walls, equipment labels, smooth surfaces
Size guide
Viewing distances are selection aids, not prescribed compliance distances. Check the site approach, lighting, wording and mounting position.
| Size | Indicative distance | Typical use |

Optional finishes
Pre-drilled Holes (4 corners)
4 pre-drilled mounting holes in each corner for easy screw or cable-tie installation.
Available with rigid materials only.
Lamination
Clear protective overlaminate for added UV and scratch resistance. Service life still depends on the print, exposure, cleaning and installation.
Available with vinyl or aluminium only.
Reflective Class 1 (High Intensity)
High-intensity prismatic reflective film. Confirm the grade required by the project specification and relevant authority.
Available with vinyl or aluminium only.
Reflective Class 2 (Engineer Grade)
Engineer-grade reflective film for general site visibility. Confirm suitability for the lighting, approach distance and project specification.
Available with vinyl or aluminium only.

Frequently asked questions
Should this sign go near the equipment or at the entry?
Place it at both locations if possible: at the equipment itself to catch operators, and at the work area entry to remind all personnel of the requirement before machinery starts.
What's the difference between Class 1 and Class 2 reflective?
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 durable is colorbond compared to polypropylene?
Colorbond is metal-based and more impact-resistant; polypropylene is lighter and easier to handle. Both resist UV well; choose colorbond for high-traffic or rough-handling sites.
Can I order a mix of sizes in one shipment?
Yes, and you'll receive a single freight charge. Mixing sizes is common for sites with multiple equipment areas requiring different sign prominence.
Do you provide installation advice?
Our team can recommend placement heights and angles for optimal visibility. We also supply pre-drilled options and can advise on outdoor mounting brackets suitable for your site.
