What Industries Wear Custom Logoed Safety Vests?

You’ll find employees donning high-visibility vests with company logos in various fields of work. These industries range from construction and roadwork to emergency services and event management.

If you’re overseeing a construction site, you’ll see workers wearing custom vests for safety and identification. Roadwork crews wear them to stand out amid heavy traffic and machinery. Emergency service personnel, including firefighters and paramedics, sport them for visibility during critical operations. At large events, staff members don vests emblazoned with the event’s logo to be easily spotted by attendees.

Delivery and warehouse workers wear them for safety in bustling environments. Even in forestry, vests with logos help differentiate between various teams. No matter the industry, these vests are crucial in safety and branding.

What are the different classes of safety vests?

There are different classes of safety vests, each designated for specific work environments and traffic conditions.

You’ll find Class 1 vests suitable for low-impact worksites with minimal traffic, where visibility isn’t a significant concern. They’re perfect for parking lot attendants and delivery drivers in low-traffic areas.

Class 2 vests are for higher-risk areas with more traffic. This is your go-to vest if you’re an airport worker, forest ranger, or toll booth operator. They offer more visibility with over 200 square inches of reflective fabric.

Class 3 vests are for the highest-risk environments like freeways and railroads. Ideal for emergency responders and construction workers, they offer the highest visibility with over 310 square inches of reflective tape.

Explanation of Washington State’s Safety Vest Requirement WAC 296-155-200

According to Washington State’s regulation WAC 296-155-200, it’s mandatory for employees to wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including high-visibility safety vests, in operations where there’s exposure to hazardous conditions. It’s not just about compliance; it’s about safety.

If you’re working near moving vehicles, you must wear a high-visibility vest, shirt, or jacket. During daylight, these must be fluorescent yellow-green, fluorescent orange-red, or fluorescent red. At night, you’re required to wear garments designed according to ANSI/ISEA 107-1999 Class 2 specifications.
