Safety signs are essential controls in any workplace. When you display safety signage, you are not just placing signs on walls. You are controlling risk.
Every workplace has hazards. Some are visible. Others are not. Safety signs make those risks clear and ensure staff, workers and visitors can act quickly and stay safe. Symbols and colours provide immediate visual communication that bypasses language barriers.
From danger signs that warn of a life threatening hazardous condition to emergency information signs that provide directions to exits, signage becomes part of how your workplace operates every day.
Corsign offers a complete range of safety signs, designed and manufactured in Australia to Australian Standard AS 1319.

Safety signs intended for the occupational environment fall into set categories. Each type uses its own colours, symbols and shape so the message is understood on sight. Mandatory signs and prohibition signs regulate behaviour, while danger and warning signs flag the hazard itself.
Display an instruction that must be followed. White symbols on a blue circular background, with black text on a white background.
Show actions that are not permitted. A red circle and slash over the black action symbol, with black text on a white background.
Warn of a hazardous condition that is possibly life threatening. DANGER sits in a red oval inside a black rectangle, with black text underneath.
Alert people to a particular hazard that could cause injury. A black symbol in a yellow triangle with black text. Use them around plant, chemical storage and traffic areas.
Are green with white symbols and text, and provide directions to exits and first aid facilities.
Are red with white symbols and indicate the location of fire fighting equipment and alarms.
AS 1319-1994 sets the requirements for safety signs intended to regulate and control safety related behaviour, warn of hazards and provide emergency information including fire protection information. Design must meet AS 1319 so colours, text and symbols mean the same thing everywhere in Australia.
Displaying safety signage is a legal requirement. Obligations sit under work health and safety regulations, with additional requirements in construction and mining, and Safe Work Australia maintains the national standard. Mandatory signs, prohibition signs and hazard signage all fall under those regulations.
Signs are an administrative control. Along with written procedures and supervision, they are crucial to site safety, but rely on them to guide behaviour, not remove the hazard.
Every site is different, so we offer custom signs built around purpose, location and hazard type. Options include metal, poly and self adhesive materials, a full range of sizes, and Class 1 (now Class 400) or Class 2 (now Class 100) reflective materials where signs must be read at night, or low level light environments.
Use lighter options indoors where wear is minimal. Order the sizes that suit the viewing distance, and we will confirm materials and artwork with you before your first order.

Confirmed with you before your first order, then kept on file
Signs should be located where people find them before the hazard, not at it.
Sizes must suit viewing distance and lighting.
Signs must be maintained in good condition to remain legible.
Review your signage each time the layout, plant or process changes.
Faded or damaged signs quietly stop working. Replace them the first time you notice. We keep artwork on file so a repeat order takes minutes.
Corsign works with businesses across civil construction, local and state government and mining, delivering safety signage that is both compliant and practical. Take a moment to walk through your workplace and review your signage.
If not, there is a gap. Request a quote and our team will sort out the options, sizes and materials with you.Â
Standards, sign types and maintenance, answered.
Australian Standard AS 1319-1994 is the main one. It covers the design and use of safety signs in the workplace, including the colours, symbols and layout for each sign type. Your obligation to display signage sits under work health and safety legislation, and Safe Work Australia maintains the national standard.
AS 1319 covers seven types: prohibition, mandatory, restriction, danger, warning, emergency information and fire. Each uses its own colour and shape so the message reads on sight.Â
There is no official set of ten, but most sites end up with a similar mix: no entry, no smoking, hard hat area, hearing protection, high visibility clothing, forklifts operating, overhead hazard, first aid, emergency exit and fire extinguisher. The right ten depends on your hazards, not on a list.
PPE and hard hat signage, no unauthorised entry, site speed limits, mobile plant warning signs, electrical hazard, chemical storage, first aid and emergency assembly point signs.
Follow the AS 1319 colours, symbols and layout. Size the sign for the viewing distance. Locate it where people see it before they reach the hazard. Keep it clean, legible and undamaged.
Not always. Class 1 or Class 2 reflective materials are used where signs need to be read in low light, such as underground mines, roadways, car parks and unlit yards. We will recommend the right type for the location.Â
The employer or person conducting the business. Signs must be kept in good condition to remain effective, so damaged or faded signage should be replaced rather than left up.
