Those who work close to a road or on a road should always
wear high-visibility PPE.
Here are a few of the people who would benefit from wearing
high-visibility PPE...
-- Road construction workers, highway maintenance, traffic officer’s
surveyors and road patrol personnel.
-- Police officers, fire-fighters and emergency medical
personnel who may be on an accident scene during the night.
-- Parking attendants (car guards in South Africa), security
officers, airport fight line marshals and tow truck drivers may all wear
reflective gear to ensure they can be seen easily by the people driving the
cars and the airplanes.
-- Warehouse employees may often wear safety vests to ensure
they are seen by moving forklifts. Construction workers and heavy equipment
operators could need high visibility clothing as well.
You may feel that it is not necessary for you to wear
high-visibility clothing, but it is in fact vital to your safety. Studies have
shown that those who wear the right PPE are less likely to be injured or even
killed.
