Which safety signs are required by law in an Australian warehouse?
In Australian warehouses, several safety signs are legally required to ensure a safe working environment. Key signs include emergency exit signs, indicating a clear path to the nearest exit; fire safety signs, displaying the location of firefighting equipment; and hazard warning signs, alerting employees to potential dangers such as chemicals or heavy machinery. Additionally, mandatory signs outlining the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and prohibition signs restricting access to certain areas or activities are crucial. These safety signs must comply with Australian standards (AS 1319-1994) to effectively communicate essential safety information and minimise workplace risks.
