Optimal choice of a high-visibility jacket for work

To choose the best high-visibility jacket, it is essential to ensure that we select the class that corresponds to our needs. To do this, we must assess the risk we are facing: the types of vehicles, traffic volume, traffic speed, and how long we are exposed.

To achieve proper protection, it is important that the garment have good durability, the size is correct, and the piece is used and maintained properly. Therefore, the following factors should be considered:

  • Risk Classification: Before selecting a jacket, you should identify the level of risk associated with your job. This involves considering factors such as the type and speed of surrounding vehicles, traffic volume, and total exposure time.

  • Durability and Fit: A high-quality jacket will last longer and provide consistent protection. Make sure it fits properly, as an ill-fitting size can compromise its functionality.

  • Knowledge of the Garment: It’s crucial to understand the capabilities of your jacket. What protections does it offer and what doesn’t it? Additionally, you should familiarize yourself with the correct way to wear it; small details, such as having it closed or open, can influence its effectiveness.

  • Maintenance: Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for cleaning and storing the garment. Avoid making repairs without consulting, especially if they involve key elements like reflective bands. Inspections and maintenance should be carried out by experts to ensure that the jacket continues to meet safety standards.

  • Environmental Considerations: The environment can influence the effectiveness of the jacket. While standardized colors (yellow, orange-red, and red) comply with regulations, the environment should be taken into account. For example, in autumn, a red jacket may blend in with the autumn foliage.

  • Contrast: The jacket should stand out, not only from the surroundings, but also from the equipment you’re working with. You wouldn’t want it to blend in with machinery and other equipment instead of standing out.

  • Mobility: Functionality should not sacrifice mobility. It’s crucial that, despite wearing the jacket, you can move freely and perform your tasks without restrictions while maintaining visibility at all times.

On the other hand, we must take into account the environmental conditions in which we find ourselves. Regarding the color, the jackets that comply with the regulations are yellow, orange-red, and red. We need to ensure that in our work environment, these colors are not prevalent. For example, during the autumn season, the foliage may reduce the visibility of a red or orange-red jacket.

It’s also important that the garment contrasts with the equipment, ensuring that the person doesn’t blend in with the rest of the team. Above all, we must consider that the wearer’s movements do not compromise the visibility provided by the jacket.
