Description
Protect workers in high-hazard atmospheres with this mandatory respirator sign. AS 1319 compliance ensures the blue circle and white pictogram are instantly recognised in mines, chemical plants, foundries, and emergency response scenarios. Mount at zone entry and maintain visibility throughout areas where respiratory protection is non-negotiable. Available in polypropylene, colorbond, and vinyl across four sizes (240×180 mm to 600×400 mm). Lamination and reflective options boost durability in harsh or low-light conditions. Platinum Signs manufactures locally and delivers Australia-wide; trade accounts benefit from volume pricing and priority scheduling.
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
Which material is most durable in a dusty underground mine?
Colorbond withstands abrasion and dust accumulation best. Polypropylene is cost-effective and adequate if cleaned regularly. Both benefit from lamination in extreme conditions.
Can I get reflective signs for night-shift visibility?
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.
What size should I choose for a hazmat storage room?
Available sizes are 240 x 180mm, 300 x 225mm, 450 x 300mm, 600 x 400mm. Viewing-distance notes are a practical selection aid, not a substitute for checking the approach distance, lighting, mounting position, wording and site risk assessment.
How do I order replacement signs if one becomes damaged?
Keep your order details handy. We can reprint and dispatch identical replacements within 5–7 days, or faster on urgent request.
