Uniform Safety Signs | Tags

What should happen when someone approaches equipment that is being repaired?

Browse Uniform Safety Signs | Tags for equipment identification & warning tags.

Tags communicate information. They must not replace required isolation, lockout or verification procedures.

Uniform Safety Signs | Information Signs

A visitor arrives at your facility. Can they find the correct entrance or reporting point?

Information signs help people understand locations, directions & general workplace arrangements.

They may be used for reception identification, facility notices, delivery directions or other site information.

These signs serve a different purpose from hazard warnings or mandatory safety instructions.

Uniform Safety Signs | Signages

Reviewing signage across an entire workplace rather than replacing a single notice?

The Signages collection offers a broader browsing route for customers comparing signage products across different applications.

It may be useful when planning a new facility, reviewing existing signs or compiling a purchasing list across multiple work areas.

Important: Signages & Safety Signs may contain overlapping products. Choose based on the actual listings rather than assuming they represent entirely separate manufacturer ranges.

The appropriate sign depends on the hazard, location & applicable workplace requirements.

Why Australian Businesses Choose Uniform Safety Signs?

Uniform Safety Signs has operated since 1991.

The manufacturer describes itself as Australian-owned & operated, with in-house signage manufacturing in Victoria.

Its broad catalogue includes standard safety signs, general notices, traffic-related products, equipment tags & custom signage services.

For buyers, this means several workplace signage requirements can be considered within one manufacturer's range.

Signage for Different Work Environments

A warehouse may require forklift warnings, mandatory PPE notices & emergency equipment identification.

A workshop may need machinery warnings, equipment tags & restricted-access signs.

A construction site may require temporary notices as work zones & access routes change.

The correct selection should reflect the conditions of each location.

Material Options for Different Applications

Uniform Safety Signs offers different materials across its wider range.

The manufacturer's general guidance identifies polypropylene for selected indoor applications, metal or aluminium for many outdoor installations & corflute for certain temporary uses.

These are broad material-selection considerations. Check the specifications of each product before ordering.

Standard & Specialist Signage

Some workplaces need familiar safety messages, while others require more specific identification or instructions.

Uniform Safety Signs offers a wide manufacturer catalogue, but product availability at Industrial Shed depends on the individual listings.

Match the Sign to the Workplace

A sign is only useful when people can see, understand & act on its message.

Warehouses & Distribution Centres

Forklift routes, pedestrian areas, loading zones & restricted spaces may require different warnings or instructions.

Safety signs should support physical traffic controls & workplace procedures.

For associated operations, browse Material Handling Equipment.

Construction & Civil Sites

Site conditions change as projects progress.

Signs may need to be moved, replaced or updated when access routes, work areas or hazards change.

For related crew preparation, read Equipping A Civil Road Crew.

Workshops & Manufacturing

Machinery, hazardous substances, maintenance work & high-noise areas may require different forms of communication.

Select the message for the actual hazard or procedure rather than relying on generic notices.

For related equipment, explore Safety & Personal Protective Equipment.

Offices & Shared Facilities

Visitors & contractors may need directions, facility identification & clear access information.

Information signs can help people navigate without confusing general notices with safety instructions.

How to Choose the Right Sign Material & Size?

Check the Installation Environment

Consider whether the sign will be installed indoors, outdoors or in an area exposed to moisture, sunlight or frequent handling.

Review the product's material, intended use & mounting requirements.

Consider Viewing Distance

A sign at a warehouse entrance may need to be read from further away than one positioned beside a machine.

Check the text, symbols, dimensions & surrounding visibility.

Use Tape Measures to confirm installation space.

Position Signs Before the Decision Point

A hazard warning should be visible before exposure.

A mandatory PPE notice should be placed where the requirement begins.

Directional information should appear before visitors need to choose a route.

For installation planning, Measuring & Layout Tools can assist with consistent placement.

Workplace Safety Signage & Australian Standards

Safety signs support workplace risk communication, but they do not replace hazard controls.

AS 1319 is an important Australian standard for safety signs in occupational environments.

Other requirements may apply to fire safety, traffic control, dangerous goods, emergency facilities or specialist industries.

The applicable requirements depend on the sign's purpose & workplace conditions.

A compliant sign does not automatically make an entire workplace compliant.

For chemical-related work, read How to Read a Safety Data Sheet - A Quick Guide for Workshop Operators for guidance on another important source of safety information.

Review Existing Signage Before Ordering

Before purchasing replacements, walk through the site as though you're visiting for the first time.

Check entrances, work areas, traffic routes, equipment & emergency facilities.

Look for:

► Missing or damaged signs
► Faded or unreadable messages
► Signs blocked by equipment or stored goods
► Outdated directions
► Incorrect hazard information
► Poor mounting condition
► Inconsistent location names
► Areas where the message is needed earlier

Record the location, required message, dimensions, material & quantity for each replacement.

For layout marking during the review, Markers & Pencils may be useful.
