Meet Workplace Safety Compliance with Brady Safety Signs and Industrial Labels

Safety signs and labels are a mandatory requirement under Australian workplace health and safety legislation — communicating hazards, safe work requirements, emergency information and prohibited actions to workers and visitors in clear, standardised formats. AS 1319 sets the Australian standard for safety signs in the workplace, specifying the colour coding, symbols and text requirements for hazard, prohibition, mandatory action, emergency information and fire safety signs.

AIMS Industrial sells hundreds ofsafety signs and labels options from Brady — a global workplace safety, identification and labelling solutions company with an extensive range of compliant safety signage, industrial labels and identification products for Australian workplaces.

The Safety Signs & Labels Range

Our Brady range covers all major categories of workplace safety signage and industrial identification labels required for Australian workplaces.

• Hazard & Warning Signs: Brady’s hazard and warning signs communicate the presence of specific hazards — electrical hazards, chemical hazards, moving machinery, hot surfaces, forklift zones and other site-specific risks. Yellow and black colouring with standardised symbols ensures immediate recognition.
• Prohibition Signs: Brady’s prohibition signs indicate actions that are not permitted in an area — no smoking, no entry, no mobile phones, no unauthorised access and other site control requirements. Red and white colouring with a diagonal bar through the symbol is the AS 1319 standard for prohibition.
• Mandatory Action Signs: Brady’s mandatory signs specify actions that must be taken — PPE requirements such as hard hats, hearing protection, high-vis, safety glasses and safety boots in designated areas. Blue and white colouring is the AS 1319 standard for mandatory action.
• Emergency & First Aid Signs: Brady’s emergency signs indicate emergency exits, first aid stations, muster points, fire extinguisher locations and emergency equipment. Green and white colouring is the AS 1319 standard for emergency information.
• Industrial Labels: Brady’s industrial identification labels cover pipe marking, equipment identification, cable labels, asset tags and general workplace identification. Consistent labelling improves maintenance efficiency and supports lock-out/tag-out (LOTO) safety procedures.

Choosing the Right Safety Signs

Safety sign selection depends on the hazard or requirement being communicated, the sign category under AS 1319 and the mounting environment.

• AS 1319 Compliance: Australian workplaces are required to use safety signs that comply with AS 1319. Brady’s signage range is designed and manufactured to meet Australian standard requirements for colour, symbol, text format and sign size.
• Indoor vs Outdoor: Indoor signs require UV and moisture resistance for workshop environments. Outdoor signs require weather resistance and UV-stable inks and substrates that maintain readability over extended outdoor exposure.
