High Visibility Workwear Resources

High visibility safety apparel (HVSA) encompasses a wide range of highly reflective workwear that’s especially designed to increase the visibility of the wearer so they’re safer in their work environment. The reason for wearing HSVA is simple: to be seen, and therefore safer.

High-visibility clothing, or high-visibility safety apparel (HVSA), plays a critical part in helping keep you safe in the workplace. Whether it’s required or by your choice, wearing ANSI/ISEA compliant workwear helps ensure that you’re seen at all times, day or night. What many people don’t think about is that as the workwear is worn, soiled, washed, and exposed to the elements, it can lose some of its fluorescent color, and therefore its high-visibility nature. This can put you or those around you at risk for accidents so knowing when to replace an unfit garment is essential.

Come together May 2-6, 2022 to create safer and more united workplaces as a part of Construction Safety Week.  Construction is one of the most dangerous industries to work in. Each May, Construction Safety Week calls attention to the dangers construction workers face, and promotes efforts to make the industry safer, healthier, and stronger.

You might not have heard of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), but you’ve likely benefitted from their work. ANSI helps oversee the creation of standards for a wide range of products, systems, services, and manufacturing processes across the U.S. One of those product categories is High Visibility Safety Apparel (HVSA).

HVSA, short for high-visibility safety apparel, is a type of clothing made with brightly colored and highly reflective materials. This clothing, also known as hi viz or hi vis, can include a wide range of apparel from shirts and vests to pants, overalls, and gaiters.
