GARMENT INSPECTION
ARE YOU VISIBLE?
High-Visibility workwear is a vital element of workplace safety. ANSI compliant workwear helps to keep you seen, safe, and protected in low-light and harsh weather conditions. However, as garments age, they can lose their visibility in both day and night conditions. Knowing when to replace an aged garment is critical.
A Simple Tool for Safer Job Sites
Our Garment Inspection Card provides quick, easy-to-follow guidelines to help you assess the condition of your hi-vis apparel. From checking for faded fabric to inspecting reflective striping, it gives you a clear framework for determining whether your gear is still job-ready.
It’s a practical resource for:
- Safety managers conducting routine checks
- Crew leaders reinforcing compliance
- Workers taking ownership of their own safety
Because when everyone knows what to look for, everyone stays safer. Request yours today!
Make Sure Your Garment Is Still Working
Hi-vis apparel plays a critical role in keeping workers safe—but only when it’s performing as intended. Over time, exposure to sunlight, dirt, moisture, and daily wear can reduce visibility and effectiveness.
That’s why regular inspections are essential. Taking a few moments to evaluate your gear can help identify when it’s no longer providing the protection you rely on.
Kishigo’s Garment Inspection Card is a simple, effective tool designed to help you make that call with confidence.
