Australian Workplace Safety Sign Guidelines
The AS1319-1994 is Australia’s guideline for safety signs at work. It helps ensure everyone stays informed, safe, and prepared, especially during emergencies.
Key Points:
- Comprehensive Design: The standard offers guidelines on sign designs and their classifications.
- Material & Size Flexibility: While there’s no fixed size or material, the sign should fit its purpose.
- Education is Key: Employees should be educated on the sign’s meaning.
- Visibility: In well-lit areas, symbols should be 15mm for every metre of viewing, and uppercase text 5mm per metre. For poor lighting, increase sizes by at least 50%.
- Optimal Placement: Positioning at eye level, against contrasting backgrounds, and unobstructed for maximum impact.
- Regular Maintenance: Keep signs in great shape, clean, and well-lit for maximum effectiveness.
By adhering to these guidelines, workplaces not only bolster safety but also show a commitment to the well-being of all.
