Description
Mandate faceshield use in explosive-atmosphere zones with this AS 1319 caution sign. The yellow-and-black format signals a serious hazard requiring immediate PPE compliance, reducing injury risk in chemical plants, refineries, and hazardous material stores. Corflute, Colorbond steel, and polypropylene options span three sizes from 300×225 mm to 600×450 mm, fitting confined equipment areas through to sprawling processing floors. Lamination and reflective film upgrades ensure visibility in poor light and harsh conditions. Trade customers benefit from bulk pricing and reliable Australia-wide dispatch.
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 mandatory in chemical storage areas?
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.
Which material handles chemical vapour best?
Colorbond steel is most resistant to solvent and vapour exposure. Polypropylene offers good chemical tolerance at lower cost. Corflute is best reserved for dry, indoor-only zones.
Can I mix sizes across one order?
Yes. Order 300×225 mm for tight equipment access, 450×300 mm for main walkways, and 600×450 mm for large storage or processing areas. Bulk pricing covers the entire quantity.
Do reflective options work in dark storage rooms?
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's the typical lead time for hazmat facility orders?
Standard orders ship in 5–7 days. Large hazmat or multi-site orders may take 10–14 days; our team can discuss rush options if you have urgent deadlines.
