HVSA 101: THE BASICS
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.
