Hi-Vis T-Shirts
During the summer months, when the weather is warm, you want to feel relaxed and cool on site, but still need to adhere to the workplace safety rules. This is where high visibility t-shirts come into their own. They meet the tough European standards in place to make sure that hi vis workwear offers supreme protection during your shift, increasing your visibility on site so that accidents can be avoided. They are also light to wear, well ventilated, and therefore comfortable if you have to work in otherwise hot environments to carry out your daily duties.
If you work outdoors at the mercy of the elements, you need to know that your workwear will do as much as possible to keep you warm, dry, and comfortable. A huge amount of effort goes into the design and manufacture of high visibility trousers to make sure that they meet these key aims. They often use PU coated outer fabric to resist the rain and to ensure they are windproof.
The ankles are fastened with studs to keep out the chill and the seams are usually taped so that rain water does not seep into the high visibility trousers even in stormy conditions. Some types of hi vis trouser are also designed without an outside trim for further rain protection, and that has the double effect of making them more robust and durable too. In fact, toughness is a key requirement in an item of PPE workwear that has to bear a lot of hard work on site.
The waist of high visibility trousers is usually elasticated so that it feels comfortable when worn for hours at a time, and you can also adjust it to find the ideal fit for your body shape. In addition, these trousers bear reflective strips that meet the current work safety standards and ensure your visibility on site. They come in fluorescent yellow and orange, the latter of which is suitable for use in the railway industry.
