FAQs about safety cones

The number of construction cones required for your site depends on the size and layout of the area. Generally, construction sites require at least two cones per hazard area or activity area, though we recommend checking the WHS standards for exact safety requirements.

Generally, larger areas and areas with high traffic will require more safety cones than smaller construction sites.


Construction cones are required for hazardous or high-traffic areas in and around construction sites. While the exact requirements for construction cones are different between different sites, safety cones can be used for the following construction hazards.

  • Live wires
  • Potholes
  • Rough terrain
  • Any indoor and outdoor construction zones
  • Road work
  • High traffic areas
  • Chemical spills
  • Wet or slippery areas
  • Falling debris

Work sites and hazardous areas need to have construction cones placed in line with WHS instructions, which is determined by the size of the hazard, the type of construction site you’re working on and the amount of foot traffic in the area.

When placing construction cones on your site, always provide the same amount of space between each cone. Even spacing creates a clear, consistent barrier and reduces the risk of workers and pedestrians getting confused or attempting to walk through hazardous areas. We recommend using a tape measure to measure the distance between each cone and ensure they’re equally spaced.

While our durable PVC cones are designed to stand up against strong winds and harsh weather, it’s important to ensure your cones aren’t knocked or accidentally moved by teammates or pedestrians throughout the day. Be sure to check your cones frequently or apply bollards to your cones to keep them in place. We also recommend marking the exact point where your cone should be — this way, you can avoid remeasuring the distance between each cone.
