Why Choose Bisley Hi Vis Shirts For Trade Industry Professionals

Understanding The Australian Standards For Hi Vis Work Shirts - Compliance & Safety Assurance
In Australia, hi vis workwear is a mandatory requirement across all industries. The AS/NZS 4602.1:2011 Standards categorise hi-vis workwear into three main classes: Class D for daytime use, Class N for nighttime use, and Class D/N for both day and nighttime use.
According to the standards, you must have an approved colour of hi visibility material that encircles the entire upper torso. The colours specified in the standard are Orange-red, Red, Yellow, Orange and Yellow.
Selecting The Best Colour For Men’s Hi Vis Shirts
There are three high-visibility classes for different conditions. Class 1 provides the lowest coverage and Class 3 provides the greatest body coverage and visibility.
The typical colours used are yellow, orange, and sometimes red. Both pink hi vis and blue hi vis are not legal PPE in Australia.
Class 1: Low-Impact Conditions
Class 1 is the lowest level of hi vis, usually involving single garments such as hi vis trousers worn independently. Class 1 is suitable for those working in low-risk and low-impact areas.
Class 2: Medium Traffic/Low Visibility Conditions
Class 2 hi vis clothing is for those who work near heavier traffic and in low-visibility areas. This type of hi vis clothing is commonly sleeveless vests.
Class 3: High Traffic Conditions
Class 3 hi vis is for those who work in hazardous or extremely low-light conditions and must be as visible as possible. Class 3 hi vis applies to sleeved tops, including long sleeve shirts, jumpers, and jackets.
