How to Choose the Right High-Visibility Clothing for Your Industry

Not all high-visibility clothing is created equal. Depending on your industry and environment, the type of safety apparel you choose can mean the difference between being seen and staying safe — or not.

Let’s break down how to choose the right high-visibility clothing based on your specific needs.

⚙️ 1. Know the ANSI Standards

The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) sets visibility requirements for different risk levels:

• Class 1 : Low-risk environments (e.g., parking attendants)
• Class 2 : Moderate-risk environments (e.g., construction workers)
• Class 3 : High-risk environments (e.g., roadside workers)

Make sure your apparel meets the correct class for your team.

🧪 2. Match Apparel to Your Work Environment

Different jobs require different types of clothing:

• Roadside Work : Look for ANSI Class 3 reflective vests or jackets.
• Warehouse Work : Lightweight long sleeve shirts or vests may be sufficient.
• Outdoor Labor : Opt for water-resistant or windproof options like hoodies or jackets.

🎨 3. Choose Colors Wisely

Bright colors like fluorescent yellow , orange , and green are best for daytime visibility. For nighttime or low-light conditions, look for garments with silver reflective strips .

👕 4. Prioritize Comfort & Fit

Comfort matters. If your team doesn’t like what they’re wearing, they won’t wear it consistently. Always opt for breathable, flexible fabrics and a range of sizes.

🏢 5. Add Your Company Logo

Branding helps reinforce your identity and adds a professional touch. At Safety Apparel Zone, most of our products can be customized with your logo.
