Safety signs tell people about hazards, the protective equipment they need and where to go in an emergency. Construction sites, factories, warehouses, workshops, offices, schools, clinics, shopping centres and events all need them. A clear, well-placed sign helps employers communicate risks to staff, contractors and visitors, and makes a site look organised and professional.
Safety signs are quoted by type, size, material and quantity. Request a quote with your quantity and artwork using the form on this page, or upload your list if you need a full set for a building or site, which is often the quickest way to order. Your quote is emailed with Accept online and pay buttons, and accepting it creates your invoice so we can send your proof.
Types of safety signs
Safety signs use standard colours and symbols so people recognise them instantly.
- Warning signs for hazards such as electricity or forklifts
- Mandatory signs for PPE such as hard hats and safety boots
- Prohibition signs such as no smoking or no entry
- Emergency and first-aid signs
- Fire equipment and escape-route signs
Materials to suit the location
Indoor signs are often printed on ABS or self-adhesive vinyl, while outdoor and site signs are usually made on Chromadek for durability. Temporary signs for events and short projects can be printed on correx. Tell us where each sign will go, and we will recommend a material. For floor markings, see our floor graphics.
Your responsibility for compliance
Each workplace must decide which signs it needs based on its own risk assessment and the requirements that apply to it. We print the signs you specify; we do not assess your site. If you have been given a list by a safety officer, consultant or client, send it to us on upload your list and we will quote every item on it.

Common questions
Can you print the signs on our safety officer's list?
Yes. Send the list on the Upload Your List page as an Excel, Word or PDF file, or a photo, and we will quote every sign on it. Include sizes and materials if they are specified.
Can you add our company logo to safety signs?
Yes. Many companies add their logo or site name to signs. Send a vector logo with your quote request and we will include it on the layout. Keep the standard safety symbol clear and prominent.
Which material should I choose?
ABS and self-adhesive vinyl suit most indoor walls and doors. Chromadek is used for outdoor and site signs that must withstand weather. Correx works for temporary signs. Tell us where each sign will go and we will advise.
Can you print custom safety signs?
Yes. If your site needs wording that is not on a standard sign, send us the text and any symbols you need. We will lay out a custom sign and send a proof for approval before printing.
How do I accept and pay for my quote?
Your quote is emailed with an Accept online button and pay buttons for card or instant EFT through PayFast or Yoco. Accepting the quote creates your invoice. Business customers can also view quotes, invoices and statements, and reorder, in their portal.
