HIGH VISIBILITY WORKWEAR

Who has to wear high visibility clothing?

High visibility garments, according to the European Standard UNI EN ISO 20471, are divided into three classes depending on the level of protection they guarantee and must have minimum combined retroreflective and fluorescent material. 

- Class 3 defines the clothes with the highest level of visibility and can be used in all workplaces in which is required this type of protection, including motorways and airports. This category may include items as reflective jackets, overalls and high visibility trousers.

- Class 2 guarantee an intermediate level of visibility for garments such as vests, bibs or dungarees, T-shirts, trousers and fleece, which can be used in class B and C (suburban roads), D and E (urban) and F (local) as well as by couriers or similar.

- Class 1 refers to low visibility. For this reason, the worker which uses this devices (the braces) can only work on private roads. 

The garments of category 2, if properly combined, can be considered of class 3. 

High visibility rain clothing

High visibility rain protection is a type of high visibility clothing made with waterproof fabric and designed specifically for those who work in outdoor environments such as road or construction sites or those who work as an ecological operator. Workers therefore need to be clearly visible but also protected from the weather. A high visibility waterproof jacket, for example, guarantees thermal protection and breathability, without neglecting comfort.

Personalisation of garments

High visibility workwear can be personalized (high visibility personalized vests or vests) with prints (silk-screen or hot stamping - to be evaluated in relation to the different fabrics) or with embroideries to make even high visibility workwear recognizable with the logo and/or company references.
