Get Signage Right: Eye-Level Placement, Compliance & Durability

When it comes to signage, precision is key. Whether you’re dealing with contractors or clients, having a clear understanding of the requirements ensures compliance and clarity. This is where our latest Tool™ comes in—helping you get it right, every time.

Placement: Think Eye Level 👀

Signage must be positioned between 1.2m and 1.6m. This ensures visibility and ease of reading. A simple rule of thumb? Think about where the average eye level falls.

The ‘Offence’ Sign – A Must-Have

Regulations require an ‘Offence’ sign to be installed. This critical piece of signage ensures that entry restrictions or obligations are clearly communicated.

Luminous Contrast: The 30% Rule

Signage must comply with luminous contrast requirements—specifically, the 30% Rule. This helps ensure readability in all lighting conditions, particularly in emergency situations.

Durability Matters

Signage is an investment, and it needs to last. Choose materials that are permanent and built to endure. A sign that fades or wears out too soon isn’t just an inconvenience—it’s a compliance risk.

Wayfinding Signage – Often Forgotten

One overlooked requirement? Floor level signage. These indicators are required, yet they’re frequently missed in installations. Could the AAC provide clearer guidance? It’s worth checking to ensure you’re fully compliant.

Stay Compliant with Tools™

Navigating signage requirements doesn’t have to be complex. Our Tool™ simplifies the process, ensuring you meet National Construction Code (NCC) regulations efficiently.
