Safety Signs and Meanings

Safety Signs in Australia are crucial in any work environment and here at New Signs we specialise in providing high quality safety signs for a huge range of industries.

Safety Signs are essential in preventing injury and ensure staff and visitors are well aware of possible dangers and hazards in certain situations and environments.

Australian safety signs have been categorised into 6 main types to apply a consistent design across similar functions. By understanding the types of signs and their purpose, you can determine what safety signs your workplace needs and where to display them.

  • Warning Signs

    Warning signs warn of a hazard or a hazardous condition that is not likely to be life-threatening. The hazard symbol is black on a yellow background and a triangle is depicted around the hazard symbol. Sign wording, if necessary, is in black lettering on a yellow background.

  • Danger Signs

    Danger signs provide a warning when a hazard or a hazardous condition is likely to be life-threatening. The word "Danger" is featured inside a red oval on a black panel.

  • Fire Signs

    The bright red of Fire Signs makes them easy to spot around fire alarms and fire-fighting equipment. All text and imagery is white and stands out against the red background. Fire Signs are available to indicate the location of all your fire equipment, like fire extinguishers, fire blankets, fire hoses, and more.

  • Mandatory Signs
