OSHA Compliant Safety Vests Explained

8/2/2022

3 Comments

 
​Safety vests are vital for the protection of workers. Safety managers must learn the different safety vest classes so the company complies with OSHA standards and regulations.

Why should workers wear safety vests?

​Use safety vests to be seeable by traffic and pedestrians. The bright Hi-Visibility of safety vests comes in two popular colors. The colors are safety orange or safety green.

Class 1 OSHA Safety vest

  • For grocery courtesy clerks that push carts in a parking lot, a Class1 OSHA safety vest is a great choice. 
  • Bicycle riding
  • Use the vest where traffic is traveling 25 miles less.
  • The amount of reflective tape is 155 sq. inches or 6 feet of tape 2 inches wide.

Class 2 OSHA Safety vest

  • Class 2 is the most required because they meet all standards to provide good visibility for high hazard areas with fast traffic.
  • All road construction mandates the use of a class 2 vest.
  • Do not use class 2 safety vests at night since they do not have enough reflective taping.

Thanks for pointing out that workers would need to wear printed Hi-Vis vests to ensure that they can be seen by traffic and pedestrians. I guess investing in this type of gear or clothing is the responsibility of employers, especially in the construction industry. The workers should definitely be seeable to keep them from getting into accidents with the huge and heavy equipment they use in their job sites.
