High-Quality Women’s Hi Vis Workwear For Safety & Comfort
Women's high visibility clothing is a safety essential in the trade industry. Whether on construction sites, during road works, or in industrial settings, a worker’s visibility can prevent accidents and keep them safe.
Visibility is enhanced in low-light settings by using bright, neon colours and reflective materials in workwear.
Is Hi Vis PPE?
Hi vis clothing is commonly used in industries where a lack of visibility can impact safety. This workwear is considered a critical component of personal protective equipment (PPE) and helps to prevent workplace accidents and injuries.
Australian Standards For Hi Vis Women’s Clothing
In Australia, hi vis workwear is a mandatory requirement across all trade 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.
How To Choose The Right Hi Vis For Your Industry
There are three high-visibility classes: low-impact, medium traffic/low visibility, and high traffic conditions.
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 classification and is typically used by parking attendants, delivery drivers, and roadside assistance staff members in low traffic areas.
Class 2: Medium Traffic/Low Visibility Conditions
Class 2 hi vis clothing is suitable for working near heavier traffic and in low visibility areas on roads where the speed limit is less than 40mph.
Class 2 hi vis vests are typically worn by airport workers, and parking or toll booth operators.
Class 3: High Traffic Conditions
Class 3 hi vis applies to sleeved tops, such as hi vis ladies bomber jackets and long sleeved shirts.
Class 3 hi vis is for those who work close to high-traffic areas, including construction workers, emergency responders, railway workers, and utility crews.
