Safety Vests For Visibility And Protection

By Ina Hunt


Safety first is a main requirement for many different types of workers and volunteers. Using safety vests is one of the most inexpensive and effective means of staying injury free during many specific jobs which involve high traffic, lighting issues and heavy machinery. Purchasing these for employees will keep insurance premiums down and employees on the job.

Standards and specifications of this clothing article were put in place by the group known as the International Safety Equipment Association in June of 1999. This organization laid out the specific requirements for wearing this article for varying jobs and scenarios.

The helpful article makes volunteers and employees much more visible to other staff, high traffic and moving machinery. The added reflective bands can help give extra visibility during bright days and dark nights when visibility is impaired or nonexistent. Workers can also be easily identified as those in charge or assisting - for example, crowd control workers at a concert will be easily recognized by the attendees as someone in authority. School patrols will be obeyed much quicker and more easily if they wear an identifying vest.

Individuals who would appreciate having these at their disposal include airline employees, mechanics, school patrols, road workers, construction employees, security guards, warehouse staff, crowd control workers, and traffic management personnel. Many individuals also keep a vest or two in the trunk of their cars for personal reasons. They are great to have on hand if they are in a situation where they must change a flat tire on a freeway or even help direct traffic in the case of an accident.

Yellow and orange are the most common colors that are used in these articles. Blue and red garments are also available for high visibility. The articles are made of a flame-resistant, very lightweight material that is easy and comfortable to wear. Inscriptions, company names and logos can be added to help identify different groups when more than one business or organization is wearing them in the same location.

Purchase other types garments with the same features. A favorite is the tee shirt style, which eliminates the need to wear anything beneath. It provides high visibility and extra protection due to the fact that individuals can be seen much better when they are turned to the side. You can also purchase bands of the same fabric to add to bicycles, strollers, and moving equipment.

These protective items can be found at uniform, hardware and building supply venues. They can also be located online at various industrial supply sites. Select the style that best fits the usage and the individuals who will be wearing the clothing article.

Just the awareness of your employees or family members wearing this protective garments will give everyone peace of mind and reassurance that they will be seen by traffic and machinery. This visibility will also help them be identified as part of a group with the authority and tools to do a specific task or assignment.
