Hi vis workwear from Hersey’s Safety

Hi visibility clothing is an established element of personal protective clothing on construction sites and in the transport industry. It was introduced as a way of increasing the visibility of workers where traffic on- and off-site interacts with pedestrians.

Hi vis workwear is needed if you work when there is low light and poor visibility, especially if you are working around moving vehicles (cars, trucks or other machinery such as forklifts). Hi vis workwear allows you to be seen by the drivers of these vehicles sooner and more easily and readily. This fact alone increases your safety at work.

If you’re wondering how high visibility clothing works, it is due to the fact that the human eye responds best to large, contrasting, bright or moving objects. Worker visibility is enhanced by high colour contrast between clothing and the work environment against which it is seen.

Keep workers and visitors safe with hi vis workwear from Hersey’s Safety, whether on a construction or building site, in the transport industry, or any other environment where visibility and moving vehicles are involved.
