The same board with your own artwork, five for $160.
Guide · what things cost · By Hassan Rehman
How much do site safety signs cost in Australia?
Five site safety boards — the danger, PPE, induction, alcohol and drugs, emergency and access notices on one 600 × 900mm corflute sign, with the builder, licence number and site details filled in — are $160 including GST and delivery, $32 a board. Ten are $24.70 each and thirty are $14.30. The full 900 × 1200mm board, the size for a site entry, adds $14.30 per board. It is the same corflute at the same price as a plain sign; the layout and the pictograms come with it.

What is on the board, and why it costs no more than a blank one
The board carries every notice a site entry is expected to show — access by arrangement, danger, PPE beyond this point with the AS 1319 pictograms, induction, alcohol and drugs, emergency and owner access — with the builder, licence number, surveyor, permit, site address and contact set from what you type. Every field is optional: leave one blank and its label prints with a line beside it, for a marker on site. None of that layout is charged for. A site safety board costs $32 at five, which is what a plain 600 × 900mm corflute sign costs at five, because it is the same board through the same printer; the artwork is ours and already done.
Which size, and what it adds
900 × 1200mm is the board as it is drawn: the size to stand at a site entry, where it is read from the footpath by someone who has not stopped walking. It adds $14.30 per board for twice the material. 600 × 900mm is the common fence size, the one developers order for a hoarding panel or a second board further along the fence; the same layout scales to fit it with a small white margin top and bottom, so nothing is cropped. Sign sizes and viewing distance has the arithmetic for how far each size reads.
Why they are sold in fives
Two costs do not care how many boards are in the order. Corflute is cut on a router from a full sheet, and the router is set up and run whether it cuts one sign or thirty. And corflute is bulky and light, so a courier charges for the space it takes rather than its weight: a carton of ten costs about what a carton of one does. On a single board those two costs would be most of the price, so boards are sold in fives, priced delivered, and the per-board figure falls from $32 at five to $14.30 at thirty. One for each gate, and spares for the next site, is the order this suits.
What the fixing adds
Eyelets in the four corners add $2.20 a board and you want them on anything that cable-ties to a temporary fence. Without them the tie goes through the flutes and tears out in the first wind. A board screwed or taped flat to a hoarding does not need them.
What is not in that figure
Nothing for delivery. Delivery is included in this price — Australia-wide, with no freight line at the cart and nothing added later. Allow 1 to 2 working days longer outside NSW, QLD and VIC. Your complete delivered price is confirmed before you pay. Nothing for artwork: the board is set from what you type, and the one file the checkout asks for is your logo, which goes at the head and the foot of the board at no extra cost. What the sign has to say in your state, and who must display it, is in construction site signs in NSW and Queensland.
How to read anyone’s site sign price
- Is the artwork in it? A safety board is a layout job, and some quotes add an artwork fee on top of the board. Ours is set from your details at no charge.
- What size? 600 × 900 and 900 × 1200 are different amounts of board. A low price is usually the small one.
- What board? 5mm corflute is the standard for a temporary fence. 3mm bends; a rigid board is a different, dearer product.
- Eyelets? Often an extra, sometimes forgotten until the sign arrives.
- Delivered? Corflute is bulky, and freight on a small order can be half the price again. Every figure here includes delivery.
- Including GST? As always. Every figure here includes it.
Common questions
How much does a site safety sign cost?
Five 600 × 900mm site safety boards are $160 including GST and delivery, with your details filled in, and $24.70 each at ten. Boards are sold in fives, from five to thirty. The full 900 × 1200mm board adds $14.30 per board, and four corner eyelets add $2.20.
Is a site safety board dearer than a plain corflute sign?
No. It is the same 5mm corflute at the same price: $32 a board at five, which is what a plain 600 × 900mm corflute sign costs at the same quantity. The layout, the AS 1319 pictograms and your details set into it come with the board.
What size should a site safety sign be?
900 × 1200mm at a site entry, where it is read from the footpath by someone walking past; 600 × 900mm on a fence or hoarding panel further along the site. The large board adds $14.30 per board. Both carry the same layout.
Can I order fewer than five?
Boards are sold in fives, because the router set-up and the courier charge are the same for one board as for five, and on a single board they would be most of the price. Most sites use the spares at the next job.
Do I need to supply artwork?
No. Type the builder, licence, surveyor, permit, address and contact, and the board sets itself; every field is optional. The checkout asks for one file, your logo, which goes at the head and the foot of the board at no extra cost.
How long do site safety signs take?
2-4 working days from payment, delivered Australia-wide (allow 1 to 2 working days longer outside NSW, QLD and VIC). That runs from the proof being approved.
