Safety is first in the construction industry. For workers, the job is hazardous, and safety, gear, and knowledge need to be a continual focus. Personal protective equipment and safety gear are crucial. Eye protection, face shields, gloves, coveralls, hard hats, etc., are necessary. Whether the side of a street, a construction site, electrical lines, or extinguishing a fire, full protection is a must. Hi-vis clothing is required in many industries including utility linemen, electricians, and workers. Flashfire- oil or gas refinery, chemical workers, and pharmaceutical workers, among others.
Hi-vis clothing is categorized into three classes:
- Class 1: Good visibility and low recognised coverage
- Class 2: Superior visibility and moderate body coverage
- Class 3: Visibility under poor light and the greatest body coverage
