Maybe you have heard that ANSI (American National Standards Institute) recently approved the ISEA (International Safety Equipment Association) revision of the 107 Standard for High-Visibility Apparel (HSVA) and all accessories.
Still, not enough people know about this, and that’s why we are reminding you. Here’s the essence of the regulation, which is now officially the law of the land: Employees exposed to public vehicular traffic must be provided with, and must wear, warning vests or other suitable garments marked with or made of reflectorized or high-visibility material. Recently, the Federal Highway Administration, (FHWA) notified ISEA and further clarified what it requires for compliance. It all boils down to that workers in traffic need to have 360-degree visibility. If you are interested in more information, here’s the letter from the FWHA to ISEA. Why is this important? Bluntly stated, many drivers are not careful, considerate or even often cognizant of their surroundings when operating their vehicles, and the workers who help preserve their safety, ironically, are at incredible risk on job site. So this upgraded standard does all it can to minimize risk and danger for workers who fix our roads or see people safety across them. We are doing our part by offering our customers the necessary garments to help keep them visible and safe and that comply with 107 Standard for High-Visibility Apparel (HSVA). Look for more information on this topic, because public traffic isn’t going anywhere. In a manner of speaking, that is.
