Do Not Operate Unless Guards Are in Place Sign
The Do Not Operate Unless Guards Are in Place Sign makes the guarding rule impossible to miss at the exact moment it matters — hand on the start button. It's the sign for workshops that treat guards as non-negotiable, turning a safe operating procedure into a permanent, visible instruction at the machine.
Formatted to the AS 1319 prohibition convention — the red circle-and-slash roundel over a plain black message — it reads instantly as a hard rule, not a suggestion. Placement guidance is a suggestion only; the installer should verify compliance and suitability for the specific machine and application.
Each sign is printed and matt laminated in our own Australian workshop — glare-free under bench lighting, colour-fast, and built for daily wipe-downs in a working environment. Choose your size, material and finishing at checkout; both compliant and decorative material and size options are available, so select the option that suits your application. The sign is supplied on its own, with no screws, zip ties or fixings included.
Mount it at the operator position — beside the start controls or directly on the guard, where it's read before every startup. Pairs well with our Danger Watch Your Hands and Fingers Sign and Danger Machinery Moves Without Warning Sign for a complete machine-zone setup. A made-to-order prohibition sign, proudly Australian-made with a fast 2–3 day turnaround.
