What is High Visibility Clothing?

Description

Protecting industrial, utility, electrical, and construction workers on the job is no small feat. It requires appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and can often require high visibility clothing. High visibility, or Hi-Vis Workwear, is a type of apparel that workers wear to improve their visibility on a jobsite and ultimately, workplace safety.

High visibility clothing is most frequently worn to alert drivers and other equipment operators of where workers are located. It’s essential in dangerous conditions, such as in close proximity to roadways, in dark conditions, and in areas where workers might be blocked by trees, traffic barriers, or construction equipment.
