The Australian Standards For High-Visibility Work Jackets - Worksafe Requirements
Hi Vis jackets are a mandatory requirement for all industries to ensure worker safety. Australian standards for Hi Vis clothing - such as AS/NZS 1906.4:2010 and AS/NZS 4602.1:2011 - outline the specific requirements for different classes of high-visibility clothing, like EN ISO 20471. These standards ensure that Hi Vis jackets provide sufficient visibility in various conditions - both day and night.
Key requirements include:
- Classes of High-Visibility Clothing: High-visibility clothing is categorised by work environment risk. Class D is for daytime use, providing high visibility in daylight. Class N is for night use, using reflective materials for visibility under artificial light. Class D/N suits both day and night, combining fluorescent material with reflective tape for all-around visibility.
- Legal Hi Vis Colours: Australian standards specify legal Hi Vis colours. Mainly yellow and orange are chosen for their standout ability in various environments. Yellow is common in construction and road work, while orange is used in rail and mining industries. These colours differentiate work environments and hazards.
- Meanings of Hi Vis Colours: Each Hi Vis colour has specific uses. Yellow is ideal for daylight visibility, making it suitable for construction sites. Orange is preferred in low-light conditions, often used in rail and mining.
Choose The Best Hi Vis Jacket Colour & Maximum Safety
When selecting a men’s Hi Vis jacket, it's crucial to choose the right colour and class to ensure maximum safety. Note that pink Hi Vis and blue Hi Vis jackets are not legal in Australia and should be avoided in any work environment. The 3 classes of high-visibility clothing are designed to meet the specific needs of different industries:
Class 1: Low-Impact Conditions
Class 1 Hi Vis jackets are suitable for low-impact conditions where visibility is not as critical. These jackets are typically used in environments with minimal vehicle or machinery traffic, such as warehouses and storage facilities.
Class 2: Medium Traffic/Low Visibility Conditions
Class 2 Hi Vis jackets are designed for areas with medium traffic and low visibility. They provide better visibility in dim lighting and are commonly used in construction sites, road maintenance and utility work. Enhancing worker visibility in these conditions helps prevent accidents and injuries.
Class 3: High Traffic Conditions
Class 3 Hi Vis jackets offer the highest level of visibility and are essential for high traffic conditions. These jackets are ideal for highway maintenance, emergency services, and other high-risk environments where workers need to be seen from a distance and in various lighting conditions.

- pH Level of Detergent: Choose a detergent with a pH level below 11 to prevent fabric erosion and maintain the vibrancy of the reflective tape.
