Higher Traffic Vest Criteria Secure Employees
Workers who spend their days in a cubicle with a computer rarely face real danger. Other than open file cabinet drawers, there is little chance of actually being injured or killed. Put that same cubicle next to a crowded, busy freeway however and it rapidly becomes apparent why a good traffic safety vest is so vitally important. For highway workers, good visibility can make the difference between a normal day and one ending in an ambulance.
Not Meant For Fashion
These lowly garments will probably never be featured in a fashion magazine but are far more important than the latest trendy look. Dressing in this kind of protective clothing was not a widespread law when it was first introduced in the 1970s. Today, outdoor workers of all kinds are generally required to always wear one of these nylon and polyester outfits decorated with bright, bold reflective striping.
Up To Standards
The responsibility for upholding 21st century worker protective clothing standards falls under the control of the International Safety Equipment Association (ISEA) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). These agencies routinely update requirements for safety garments. Today, this clothing must not only be comfortable to wear but must also be highly resistant to water and fire.
Although one basic design does not accommodate all professions, each vest must still conform to basic quality regulations. To comply with current rules,each type of material must be fade resistant, durable and able to be treated with extremely bright dyes. Additionally, material used in the striping must meet the quality evaluations of an objective third party.
Different ANSI Classes
There are actually three classes of work vests used in specific environments. Off-road maintenance workers and low-risk parking lot attendants often wear the Class 1 designated suit. Class 2 outfits are in the wardrobe of various control officers and crossing guards who routinely face cars and trucks traveling less than 25 miles per hour. The most hazardous jobs require Class 3 vests, worn in areas where vehicles move faster than 50 miles per hour.
Colors
The dyes used to color this protective clothing must be highly visible from a distance. They commonly include fluorescent tones of lime green, yellow and most commonly, orange. Emergency personnel often wear blue to make them easily discernible at the scene of an accident. Security workers, police officers and firefighters often have their professional title printed on the garment for quick job identification.
Which Do You Need?
Those responsible for ordering this protective clothing usually check for the latest governmental standards, which are constantly being updated. In this age of increased urban terrorist activity, there are even protective vests designed for those who are part of a special incident response command team. Other specialized garments have been designed specifically for use in areas that commonly experience wild extremes of weather.
For those who may wish to buy a vest for outdoor recreational visibility, it is important to remember that not all high visibility vest have been certified by ANSI. Be careful to avoid buying a vest, for example, that simply has some reflective tape added by the seller. To guarantee the highest visibility and best protection, wearing a traffic safety vest that has been thoroughly vetted in a real world setting is the best choice.
