Safety Clothing

High-visibility clothing, a type of personal protective equipment (PPE), is any clothing worn that has highly reflective parts or a color that is easily stands out from any background. Yellow waistcoats worn by Emergency Services or Hi-Vis Jackets on construction sites are a common example.

Part of the garment may have retro reflective stripes. This way they become much more visible in the dark for observers near a light source. The pattern of the retro reflecting parts also helps to distinguish between objects and people.

For greater visibility during the daytime, very bright colors are used for the main body of the garment by means of fluorescent material.
