HIGH VISIBILITY PROTECTION
Johnsons Workwear offers a range of High Visibility garments which meet various standard requirements. Hi Visibility garments shall consist of a fluorescent background material to provide conspicuity during daylight conditions, and retro-reflective tape which ensures visibility under illumination of headlights in the dark. A garment shall have 360° visibility. This is achieved by encircling the body, arms and legs with horizontal fluorescent material and retro-reflective tape. There are three classes of high visibility garment based on the total area of fluorescent material and retro-reflective tape. Class 3 provides the highest level of conspicuity against most backgrounds, and Class 1 provides the lowest level. Selection should be based on a risk assessment in the required location or situation. All protective clothing must be kept in a clean condition in order to function correctly. This is particularly relevant with high visibility clothing. The visual performance of the garment will be affected by any soiling on the surface, and the wearer may be at risk. The importance of regular cleaning cannot be overstated. But the wearer must carefully select the washing and drying processes used for high visibility garments. Incorrect processing may permanently damage the fluorescent material and the retro-reflective tape. CARE OF A HIGH VISIBILITY GARMENT
