Wearing the 'see' vest

摘要

When it comes to selecting high-visibility apparel for workers, safety officers in heavy construction have a lot to think about. Is the garment comfortable? Is it durable? Does it portray the right image for my organization? And most importantly of all, does it keep workers visible? It's important to keep all of these factors in mind when choosing the right high-visibility garment, including safety vests, shirts and uniforms. Results from a 2002 survey conducted for the International Safety Equipment Association (ISEA) showed that road construction workers often cite "lack of style/comfort" for not using personal protection equipment more regularly. But new advancements in technology and design are making it easier than ever to keep workers highly visible in any light, without sacrificing comfort or style.
