Signet’s Safety Signs include a range of Caution, Danger, Notice, Prohibition, Mandatory and Statutory signage for offices, warehouses, factories or worksites. All Signet signs are produced to the highest quality and manufactured in a HACCP accredited facility to Australian standards 1319 (AS 1319).
What is AS 1319?
This standard sets out the requirements for the design and use of safety signs in an occupational environment. These safety signs are intended to regulate and control safety behaviour, warn staff of hazards and to provide emergency information.
To comply with AS1319 you must consider the environment, lighting and viewing distance – these factors will determine the size of sign required to suit your application.
Ensuring that the appropriate Safety Signs are used is key to effectively communicate hazards and general and instructional information to employees and visitors.

MANDATORY SIGNS

Commonly used to signify PPE, Mandatory Signs are in place to set out instructions that need to be followed for the safety of workers. For example, “FOOT PROTECTION MUST BE WORN” or “HAIR PROTECTION MUST BE WORN”. These signs are commonly used as Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) signs and feature a white image in a blue circle on a white rectangle. This sign is featured on construction, manufacturing sites and industrial areas. |
