High Visibility Clothing – The Facts….
High visibility clothing issued to employees must conform to the performance standards outlined in EN471
The first part of the standard relates to the area of conspicuous materials incorporated into the garment. There are 3 distinct categories:
- Class 3 - Highest Protection Level
- Class 2 - Intermediate Protection Level
- Class 1 - Lowest Protection Level

The second part relates to the retro-reflective performance with Class 2 being more visible than Class 1 when seen in headlights during darkness.
Care and Maintenance….
Cleaner garments
reflect more light and are more effective. Ensure they are washed
regularly and replaced when they become worn out
Wear the clothing correctly….
Make sure
that the garment is fastened where possible to ensure maximum
protection and prevent tangling in any machinery or moving objects
