High visibility clothing is designed to increase the visibility of workers in low-light conditions, such as during night work or in areas with reduced visibility. The categories of high visibility clothing are defined by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the International Safety Equipment Association (ISEA).
Hi Vis clothing is required at many job sites including those for construction, airports, roadways, and railways. Depending on the type of work you do there are different classifications you may need.
Class 1: This category includes garments that provide the lowest level of visibility. Class 1 garments are suitable for workers who are not exposed to traffic or heavy machinery. Examples include safety vests for parking lot attendants or warehouse workers.
Class 2: This category includes garments that provide moderate visibility. Class 2 garments are suitable for workers who are exposed to traffic traveling at speeds of 25 miles per hour or less. Examples include safety vests for construction workers or airport baggage handlers.
Class 3: This category includes garments that provide the highest level of visibility. Class 3 garments are suitable for workers who are exposed to traffic traveling at speeds close to or greater than 50 miles per hour, or who work in low-visibility conditions. Examples include safety vests for highway construction workers or emergency responders.
