What is the Australian Standard for Safety Signs?
The Australian Standard (AS1319-1994) sets out requirements for the design and use of safety signs in the workplace. It specifies sign classifications and layouts. AS1319 does not specify a required material or nominal size for a sign, but does stress that the type of sign used should be suitable for the intended application, and that employees should be informed of their purpose.
In locations where lighting is good and a sign is mounted in a reasonably prominent position, it is recommended (but not required) that any symbols be at least 15mm per metre of viewing distance, and any uppercase text be at least 5mm per metre of viewing distance. We advise that where practical, signs should be mounted close to the observer's line of sight in the vertical plane.
For maximum effectiveness, signs should be maintained in good condition, kept clean and well illuminated.
To make it easy for you to find the sign you need, the signs have been individually named and are grouped in the following categories:
Regulatory Signs:
These are considered mandatory signs indicating that an instruction must be carried out.
Generally the symbols are white, and appear on a blue disc.
Prohibition Signs:
These signs indicate that an action or activity is prohibited. The symbol of the activity is
crossed out with a red circle with a slash through it.
Hazard Signs:
These signs are a warning of a hazard or hazardous situation that is not likely to be life
threatening. The shape is a black triangle with a yellow interior and a black symbol. If text
is used it is black lettering on a yellow background.
Danger Signs:
These signs are a warning of a hazard or hazardous situation that can be life threatening.
The red, black and white danger banner is used, often with other text. Symbols are not
used.
Fire Signs:
These signs advise the location of fire alarms and fire fighting equipment. These signs
feature a white symbol and/or text on a red background.
Emergency Signs:
These signs show the location of, or direction to, emergency related facilities such as
exits, first aid, and safety equipment. These signs feature a white symbol and/or text on a
green background.
Information Signs:
These signs communicate information of a general nature, to avoid misunderstanding or
confusion.
Dangerous Goods Signs (HAZCHEM):
These signs assist in managing the transport of and storage of dangerous good in accordance
with the regulatory requirements of the Dangerous Good Act 1975 and the Dangerous Goods
(General) Regulation 1999.
