Hi vis workwear keeps workers visible and safe around traffic and machinery, and in many Australian workplaces it is a compliance requirement. Understanding the ratings ensures you supply the right garments for each situation. This article explains hi vis safety standards and compliance.
Understanding day, night and day/night ratings
Day rated garments use fluorescent fabric for daytime visibility; night rated add reflective tape; day/night garments combine both for round the clock visibility. Match the rating to when and where work happens.
Keeping branding compliant
Logos and branding must not cover required reflective or fluorescent areas. Careful placement keeps garments both branded and compliant.
Choosing the right rating per role
Assess each role’s conditions. Daytime only, low light, near traffic. And specify the appropriate rating so every worker is protected and compliant.
Key takeaways
- Know the difference between day, night and day/night ratings.
- Keep branding clear of required reflective areas.
- Match the rating to each role’s conditions.
