HI-VIZ WAISTCOAT

Product Information

The HIVIZ waistcoat is a high visibility garment primarily designed to enhance safety measures, especially in environments that involve low visibility or areas that necessitate heightened safety precautions. This waistcoat is easily recognisable with its bright fluorescent colours generally in lime green, green, or orange, which are conspicuous when in use. The waistcoat is also equipped with reflective bands that illuminate conspicuously when a source of light hits them.

The waistcoat is extensively employed across various industries in the UK. For instance, it is highly appreciated in construction sites where the risk of accidents is profound. Such sites often have heavy machinery and gigantic equipment, and workers need to be easily identifiable from a distance. This necessitates the use of HIVIZ waistcoats. The garment’s ability to reflect light also ensures workers can be seen clearly during night-time construction activities. Road construction workers also utilise these waistcoats to stand out from the traffic and lower the chances of accidents.

Furthermore, the HIVIZ waistcoat is an indispensable component of emergency and rescue services in the UK. From fire-fighters to paramedics and coastguard services, these teams often operate in inclement weather conditions or during the night where visibility can be poor. The high visibility of these waistcoats aids in reducing the risk of accidents and increases the pace of operations. Similarly, these waistcoats are utilised by law enforcement agencies during large scale public events or emergencies to allow quick and easy identification among the crowds.

Outside of industrial and emergency services usage, the HIVIZ waistcoat is seeing increasing adoption by cyclists and motorcyclists to increase their visibility on the roads, particularly during dawn, dusk, or foggy conditions. Recreational runners, joggers, or walkers who utilise roads or footpaths during low light conditions are also adopting these waistcoats. Its vibrant fluorescent colour increases their visibility to motorists, thereby promoting safety. Schools are also nurturing safety consciousness amongst pupils by encouraging them to don HIVIZ waistcoats during field trips or outings.
