Enhanced Visibility Vests PPE

High visibility vests are crucial for worker safety. These PPE for daytime and nighttime visibility allow workers to be easily identifiable, drastically reducing the risk of accidents, especially in low-light, heavy traffic or high-noise environments. By reflecting light, reflective vests increase the visual detection distance for drivers and industrial machinery. RAG Tailors ensures that its reflective vests are made from high-quality materials, ensuring visibility even in extreme conditions. The use of appropriate safety clothing becomes a determining factor in ensuring physical integrity in various professions.

Choosing the right high-visibility vest depends on factors such as the work environment, the level of risk and regulatory requirements. For professions that involve contact with road traffic or heavy machinery, it is recommended to opt for EN ISO 20471 certified high-visibility vests with 360º retroreflective tapes. Construction professionals, for example, benefit from models that are highly resistant and have a larger fluorescence area. RAG Tailors offers reflective vests in different sizes and configurations, with the option of personalisation by printing or embroidery, optimising the functionality and visual identity of teams.

High visibility vests certified according to EN ISO 20471 ensure a high level of protection, meeting strict requirements in terms of visibility and material quality. These PPE significantly increase the safety of workers exposed to the risk of not being seen in time. They are available in several classes (1, 2 and 3), depending on the amount of reflective and fluorescent material. The models distributed by RAG Tailors comply with European safety standards and are designed to guarantee durability, comfort and resistance, making them ideal for daily use in various professional activities where visibility is critical.

To preserve the reflective properties of high visibility vests, it is important to follow the washing instructions on the label. Avoid using bleach, fabric softeners or high temperatures, as these elements can degrade the fluorescent fabric and retroreflective tapes. In addition, it is recommended to store the vest in a dry place away from direct sunlight. At RAG Tailors, all reflective vests are resistant and suitable for frequent washing, maintaining their integrity over time. Carrying out regular inspections of safety clothing ensures that the worker is always adequately protected.

The terms ‘reflective vest’ and ‘high visibility vest’ are often used interchangeably, but there is a subtle difference. A reflective vest refers to the property of the material that reflects light, which is particularly useful in night-time environments. A high visibility vest, on the other hand, includes fluorescent materials (usually bright yellow or orange), making it effective both day and night. An enhanced visibility vest, to be considered PPE, must combine both elements. RAG Tailors models incorporate these features with retro-reflective tapes and fluorescent colours, meeting the criteria of the EN ISO 20471 standard.

The use of high visibility vests is mandatory in many sectors involving exposure to traffic, reduced lighting or risk conditions. Sectors with legal or regulatory requirements include: construction, road maintenance, transport, logistics, emergency services, aviation, railways and urban cleaning. The European standard EN ISO 20471 is the reference for this type of PPE. RAG Tailors offers a wide range of high visibility vests for different professional environments, adapting to legal safety requirements and the specific needs of each user.
