Product details
Warn people before they approach the area
Start with the routes used by workers, contractors and visitors. Place the warning where it becomes visible before a person reaches the identified hazard or controlled work area. A wall, door, barrier or sign holder can provide a suitable position when it remains visible during normal operations. Check whether open doors, stored goods or parked equipment hide the sign, and review separate approaches individually.
Match the message to the actual chemical information
TOXIC HAZARD communicates a warning but contains no chemical name, concentration, exposure route or handling instruction. Use the substance information and workplace assessment to decide whether this is the appropriate message. Keep the relevant chemical labels, safety data sheets and task instructions available so people can identify the substance and follow the selected precautions.
Keep workplace warnings separate from chemical labels
Safe Work Australia distinguishes safety signs that warn workers and visitors from chemical labels and hazardous-chemical placards. Container labels carry substance-specific information; placards serve a separate emergency-information purpose and depend on the chemicals and quantities present. This yellow triangle is a general workplace warning face. It does not supply the chemical-specific information required for a container label or a placard.
Choose the rigid face for the support
Polypropylene provides a lightweight 1.6mm panel for a wall, backing or sign holder. Colorbond provides a 0.6mm coated steel face for mechanical fixing, with a support chosen for the panel weight. Corflute provides a lightweight 3mm fluted face for supported temporary placement. The two sizes let you compare a compact panel with a larger warning face. Measure the available space and check visibility from the normal approach.
Plan mounting away from routine contamination
Keep fixings clear of the skull symbol, wording and border. Choose a position where the warning can be read without handling the substance or moving a container. Avoid covering existing labels, operating instructions or emergency information. Chemical splash, vapours and cleaning products can affect materials and print differently; send us the specific exposure and cleaning conditions if the sign will be used in those conditions.
Review the warning when the work changes
Check the sign when substances, storage arrangements, access routes or work methods change. Remove obsolete warnings and replace faces that become stained, damaged, detached or difficult to read. A clearly maintained message helps people recognise the current hazard. Keep PS-WAR048 with the ordered material and size when arranging matching replacements.
Check the sign format before ordering
Choose the warning from the actual hazard information and workplace arrangements. The sources below explain distinct roles for workplace warnings, chemical labels, placards and safety data sheets; they do not certify this printed sign.

Before ordering
- Confirm that TOXIC HAZARD is the warning selected for this location.
- Check the approach where workers or visitors first need to see it.
- Keep chemical labels, placards and operating information visible.
- Choose the panel size, material and supported fixing position.
- Review quantity and delivery charges before paying.

Frequently asked questions
What does the Toxic Hazard sign show?
The pictured PS-WAR048 face has a yellow background, a black warning triangle containing a skull and crossbones, and TOXIC HAZARD printed beneath it. It gives a general warning without naming a chemical or prescribing an item of protective equipment.
Is this a label for a chemical container?
This design is a general workplace warning. Safe Work Australia describes chemical labels as carrying substance-specific information; the pictured face does not include those details. Keep the correct chemical label and safety data sheet, and use any separately required placards.
Which sizes and materials can I buy?
Choose 225 × 300 mm or 400 × 600 mm in 1.6mm polypropylene, 0.6mm Colorbond steel or 3mm Corflute. All dimensions are width × height. These six standard combinations are rigid faces; adhesive vinyl, reflective film, lamination and selectable mounting holes are not offered on this product.
Where should I position the warning?
Use a visible position on the approach to the identified hazard or controlled area, where people can read it before proceeding. Check the view with doors, equipment and storage in their usual positions. Keep the face associated with the actual hazard and avoid covering other safety information.
Can the sign withstand chemical splashes or cleaning agents?
Suitability depends on the chemical, contact and cleaning method. The standard product does not carry a chemical-resistance rating. Send us the substances and exposure conditions before ordering for a splash zone, wash-down area or repeated chemical contact so we can specify an appropriate face and fixing arrangement.
How do I order and arrange delivery?
Select material, size and quantity, review the delivery charge and pay online to confirm your standard-sign order. The displayed artwork is included. Most standard safety-sign orders dispatch the next business day after payment, with courier transit additional. Contact us first for a large order or an essential arrival date.
What volume discounts apply?
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.
