Hi-Vis Vests
Hi-Vis vests range from the very basic to more advanced executive versions, depending on your needs during the work day. If you only need cheap hi vis clothing to throw on whilst making a fleeting visit to the warehouse, you might opt for one from the budget range that can cost less than £2 per unit, and even less when bought in bulk. A printed vest is an excellent way of identifying staff on site. All hi-vis printing is done in-house at Xamax.
For those who spend more time in environments where high visibility PPE is an absolute safety requirement, there are premium hi-vis vests with a number of practical added features to make your life easier.
The point of a high visibility vest is that you can slip it on over other clothes to help you comply with safety regulations when you enter certain work spaces. It may be that you work the majority of the time in an office where there are no hi vis requirements, but occasionally need to access busy areas where heightening your visual profile is necessary so that other workers can spot you and therefore can better help to prevent accidents. In these situations, the basic model hi vis vests with their fluorescent fabric and reflective tape strips serve their purpose.
Other situations in which a basic hi vis vest is an ideal option are when you regularly welcome visitors to your workplace to look around for a short time. You could have a selection of basic high visibility vests on hand to ensure that they meet the requirements whilst they are in your workplace. They are also popular options for schools who dress pupils in hi vis vests when taking them out on trips. There are specific children’s sizes available at Xamax.
The more advanced high visibility vests are suited to you if you need to wear a suit or non high vis uniform for much of your working day, but still need to spend an amount of time in spaces where hi vis is required. These vests come with additional storage options, including internal and external pockets, pen and key holders, radio loops and, sometimes, flashing LED lights for even better visibility.
