Make yourself seen. High-visibility workwear in l
ow-visibility workplaces. When worksite visibility decreases, the risk for workplace accidents increase. That’s the reason why we work so hard developing and improving our wide range of hard-working, high-visibility workwear. Our High-Vis collection is regulated by the inter-national standard ISO EN 20471. The standard dictates the requirements that qualify a garment as highly visible, and also categorises them into three classes of visibility, where Class 3 has the highest visibility, and Class 1 the lowest. As you can imagine, a lot of expertise and experience has gone into developing both these standards, and the high-visibility clothing you need on the job. So always make sure to wear ISO-compliant High-Vis gear from Snickers Workwear. It’s all about staying visible, so you can stay safe. How does it work? The difference between fluorescent, reflective and contrast material. Fluorescent yellow and orange materials increase visibility in dusk, dawn and during the day, as well as in fog or haze. Contrast materials are colourfast so that they won’t negatively affect the visibility of a garment’s fluorescent and reflective properties. They must be certified according to EN ISO 20471:2013. Reflective material are designed for increased visibility when illuminated in dim and dark conditions. Orange is the cold yellow What’s the difference between fluorescent orange and fluorescent yellow? Remember, this is all about increasing visibility, and it’s usually a lot easier to spot someone wearing a neon yellow garment than an orange one. That’s because yellow has a higher luminance, or appears brighter to the naked eye. However, in a snowy winter landscape the luminance of yellow is outdone by the higher contrast of orange – especially against a background of white. So in bright snowy weather you’ll want to dress in orange, and in most other cases yellow will do the trick. HIGH-VIS 107
