Frequently asked questions
How do I install safety signs?
Both ACM and Corflute signs are easy to install using several methods. You can drill mounting holes and use screws or bolts for permanent installation on walls, fences, or posts. Cable ties work well for temporary mounting to chain link fences or mesh. Double sided tape or adhesive pads suit smooth indoor surfaces. For Corflute signs, you can also use wire or string through pre drilled holes. Choose your installation method based on the surface type and whether you need permanent or temporary mounting.
How long do safety signs last outdoors?
ACM signs typically last 5 to 10 years outdoors due to their robust aluminium composite construction and weather resistant properties. They withstand harsh Australian conditions including sun exposure, rain, and temperature fluctuations without fading or deteriorating. Corflute signs using UV resistant ink generally last 2 to 3 years outdoors before showing signs of fading or wear. For maximum longevity in exposed outdoor locations, ACM is the recommended choice, while Corflute offers excellent value for shorter term or sheltered applications.
What materials are safety signs available in?
Safety signs are available in two main materials. ACM (aluminium composite material) offers strong, durable construction with excellent weather resistance, making it ideal for long term outdoor use. Corflute is a lightweight, cost effective option that uses UV resistant ink and is easy to install, perfect for temporary signage or indoor applications. Both materials meet Australian safety standards and provide clear, visible messaging for workplace safety.
What size safety signs do I need for my workplace?
The size you need depends on viewing distance and location. Signs measuring 225mm x 300mm work well for close viewing in offices or small spaces. The 300mm x 450mm size suits most general workplace applications including warehouses and factories. Large 400mm x 600mm signs are best for site entrances, outdoor areas, or locations where workers need to see signage from a distance. Consider the environment and how far people will be when they need to read the sign.
Are safety signs mandatory in Australian workplaces?
Yes, Australian workplace health and safety legislation requires appropriate safety signage to identify hazards, mandatory requirements, emergency equipment, and evacuation procedures. Different industries have specific requirements. Construction sites, manufacturing facilities, and warehouses typically need comprehensive signage coverage including mandatory PPE signs, warning signs for hazards, and emergency assembly points. Displaying correct safety signage helps meet your duty of care obligations and protects workers from preventable accidents.
