Who is this for

This sign is used by warehouse managers, safety officers, and logistics supervisors to alert pedestrians to the presence of operating forklifts in shared work areas. It is standard at the entry to warehouse aisles, loading dock areas, storage yards, distribution centres, and manufacturing facilities where forklifts and pedestrians share the same space. Under WHS legislation, employers must manage the risk of pedestrian and vehicle interactions, and clear visual warning at zone boundaries is a required control. It is also often specified by principal contractors and insurance underwriters as a condition of warehouse and facility safety plans.

Frequently asked questions

What size safety sign do I need for my worksite?

The right size depends on where the sign will be placed and how far away people will be when they need to read it. As a general guide, smaller signs around 225 x 300mm work well in indoor or close quarters settings such as offices, storerooms, or plant rooms. Mid range sizes around 300 x 450mm suit most general workplace applications including warehouses, workshops, and factories. Larger signs around 400 x 600mm are best for site entrances, outdoor perimeter fencing, or areas where workers need to see signage from a distance. If you are unsure, consider the busiest viewing angle and how quickly someone approaching the area needs to read the message.

What types of safety signs does Brute Safety Products supply?

We supply a full range of WHS compliant safety signs for Australian construction, industrial, and commercial workplaces. The range covers mandatory signs (blue and white, indicating required PPE or actions), warning signs (yellow and black, alerting to hazards such as forklifts, high voltage, or hot surfaces), prohibition and danger signs (red and white, restricting access or unsafe behaviours), and emergency and information signs (green or red, marking first aid kits, fire equipment, assembly areas, and emergency stops). All signs are printed and made in Perth, WA, and are designed to align with Australian safety standards. If you are unsure which sign type you need, we are happy to help.

What are safety signs made from, and which material should I choose?

Our safety signs are available in two materials: ACM (aluminium composite material) and Corflute. ACM is a rigid, weather resistant panel built for long term outdoor use. It holds up well against sun, rain, and temperature extremes, and typically lasts 5 to 10 years outdoors, making it the better choice for permanent installations at site entrances, fenced areas, or exposed locations. Corflute is a lightweight, cost effective option printed with UV resistant inks, suited to temporary signage, short term projects, or sheltered indoor areas. It generally lasts 2 to 3 years outdoors. Both materials produce clear, highly visible signage for Australian workplaces.

Are safety signs a legal requirement in Australian workplaces?

Yes, under WHS legislation across all Australian states and territories, employers have a duty to identify hazards and communicate risks clearly to workers, visitors, and contractors on site. Safety signage is one of the primary ways this obligation is met. Mandatory PPE signs, hazard warnings, danger and prohibition signs, and emergency information signs are all expected on worksites where relevant risks exist. Construction sites, warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and industrial operations typically require comprehensive signage coverage. Displaying the correct signs helps meet your duty of care and protects workers from preventable incidents.

Can safety signs be custom printed with our logo or site specific information?

Yes, all of our safety signs can be custom printed to suit your business or project. Options include adding your company logo, adjusting the wording to reflect site specific rules, creating non standard sign sizes, or designing signs that do not exist in our standard range. Custom safety signage is particularly useful for larger construction companies, mining operations, and facilities with specific access or hazard communication requirements. To get started, provide your artwork as a high resolution PDF, AI, or EPS file, or contact us to discuss design assistance. Lead times for custom orders vary depending on complexity and quantity.
