Warning Sign – Keep Clear

KEEP CLEAR — a warning sign for an area that has to stay unobstructed: a fire exit path, a loading zone, a switchboard, an access hatch, a roller door approach.

Under AS 1319, warning signs use black on yellow. That is a different pairing from the white-on-red of a danger sign, and the difference carries meaning: a warning sign marks a hazard that could cause injury, where a danger sign is reserved for one that will cause death or serious injury if ignored. Using the right one is part of what keeps people reading them.

Four sizes from 300 x 225mm to 900 x 600mm landscape, in five materials. Sticker and decal from $7.50 where the surface is smooth and a rigid panel will not sit flat — on a roller door or a painted floor-edge, this is usually the right answer. Corflute for temporary and construction use. Polypropylene and composite ACM white for permanent positions. 1.6mm aluminium to $272.16 at the largest format for post mounting and heavy outdoor exposure.

A keep-clear sign supplements a physical arrangement rather than replacing one. If the area keeps getting blocked, the sign is not the control that is failing.
