Start with the class your work requires, then add your logo without covering the reflective tape. Workers in a highway right-of-way exposed to traffic must wear high visibility apparel that meets ANSI/ISEA 107 Class 2 or 3 under the federal MUTCD. Order certified garments, collect sizes by crew and ship to each job site.
Types and classes in ANSI/ISEA 107
| Type | Where | Classes |
|---|---|---|
| Type O (off-road) | Work away from road traffic, such as warehouses and some sites | Class 1 |
| Type R (roadway) | Work near road traffic | Class 2 or Class 3 |
| Type P (public safety) | Emergency and public safety responders | Class 2 or Class 3 |
Class 3 provides the most visibility and usually includes sleeves. Your safety lead decides which class each job needs.
Adding your logo
Print or embroider your logo on the background material, not on the reflective tape. A large logo reduces the background area, which counts toward the class, so we place logos to keep the garment certified. Ask for certified styles on the quote.
Vests, shirts or jackets
Mesh vests are light and cheap and go over anything. Hi-vis t-shirts and long sleeve shirts replace a vest in warm weather. Hi-vis hoodies and jackets cover cold months. Many contractors order all three across the year.
Sizes for crews
Vests are forgiving, often sold in combined sizes. Shirts and jackets need real sizes. Collect sizes by crew and order a buffer of large sizes.
Delivery to job sites
We pack by crew or job site with counts on each carton, and ship to arrive before the start date.
