All workers within the right-of-way of a Federal-aid highway who are exposed either to traffic (vehicles using the highway for purposes of travel) or to construction equipment within the work area shall wear high visibility safety apparel.

MUTCD (Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices) defines the standards used by road managers nationwide to install and maintain traffic control devices on all streets and highways.

HIGH VISIBILITY APPAREL

A First Line of Defense

“High-visibility apparel serves as a first line of defense to protect workers against being struck by a vehicle or piece of equipment operated by someone who otherwise would not be able to see them during the day or night.”

-ISEA, High-Visibility Product Guide: Products That Keep You Visible-Day or Night-In Any Light

“A person designated by the employer to be resonsible for the worker safety plan within the activity area of the job site should make the selection of the appropriate class of garment.”

-MUTCD Section 6E.02

REFLEXITE® ENHANCED SURFACE PREPARATION (ESP) is a unique coating that minimizes staining of the garment trim from fluorescent dyes as a result of bleeding from background fabrics during laundering and intimate contact. Enhanced Surface Preparation provides a glossy top surface, which is inherently resistant to soiling and allows for easy cleaning.

HIGH VISIBILITY APPAREL Keeping Safety In Sight

The ANSI/ISEA 107-2004 standard provides a uniform, authoritative guide for the design, performance specifications, and use of high-visibility and reflective apparel including vests, jackets, bib/jumpsuit coveralls, trousers and harnesses.

Garments that meet this standard can be worn 24 hours a day to provide users with a high level of conspicuity through the use of combined fluorescent and retroreflective materials.
