Warning & Hazard Signs – New Zealand’s Specialists in High-Visibility Safety Signage
Warning & Hazard Signs are essential in every workplace, facility, and public environment where risks must be clearly identified and communicated. Whether you operate a warehouse, industrial plant, construction site, school, retail space, workshop, farm, transport depot, or public venue, hazard signage plays a critical role in preventing accidents, guiding safe behaviour, and meeting your obligations under New Zealand’s workplace safety regulations.
At Emmjay Safety Sign Factory, we provide New Zealand’s largest online range of safety signage, including a comprehensive selection of Warning and Hazard Signs designed to alert people to potential dangers such as electrical hazards, machinery risks, slippery surfaces, chemical dangers, trip hazards, high-noise zones, moving vehicles, and more.
Every sign we produce includes a 5-year UV-resistant laminate at no extra cost, ensuring long-lasting visibility whether used indoors, outdoors, or in demanding industrial environments.
We’re also proud to be New Zealand’s only safety-sign company supporting sustainability, contributing to reforestation through our partnership with One Tree Planted. Learn more about our environmental commitment here:

Why Warning & Hazard Signs Are Essential
- Compliance With the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015
Under NZ law, PCBUs must identify hazards, eliminate risks where possible, and clearly communicate any remaining risks. Warning signs help PCBUs demonstrate “all reasonably practicable steps” have been taken to warn workers, contractors and the public.

- Reduce Injuries & Accidents
Clear, visible hazard signage helps prevent:
- Slips, trips & falls
- Electrical shocks
- Machinery injuries
- Chemical exposure
- Forklift & vehicle collisions
- Noise-related hearing damage
- Fall-from-height incidents
- General workplace hazards
Good signage is not just compliance — it’s prevention.
- Create a Strong Safety Culture
Consistent hazard signage reinforces safer behaviour, clearly marks dangerous zones, supports inductions and training, and helps reduce human error.
- Ensure Visitors & Contractors Understand the Risks
Hazards must be communicated to everyone on site, including those unfamiliar with your environment. Warning signs provide quick, universal understanding.
