This guide breaks down exactly what ANSI/ISEA 107-2020 Type R Class 2 means, when it applies, and how to standardize custom hi-vis gear across your operation — including ANSI Class 2 shirts with your company logo that stay fully compliant. Whether you're outfitting construction laborers, warehouse staff, or field technicians, learn how to evaluate high visibility long sleeve work shirts, choose the right fabric and reflective tape layout, and roll out a consistent PPE standard — without becoming a fabric expert.

Ill-fitting hi-vis gear isn't just uncomfortable — it's a safety hazard.
