Get First Class Protection with ANSI Class 3 Vests

September 21, 2015

  High-visibility garments help protect workers on job sites and roadways. But not all hi-vis wear is created equal. For certain jobs, only ANSI Class 3 provides the protection needed. If your job requires you to be near vehicles with speeds that meet or exceed 50 mph and your focus must be on the work and not the traffic, you need to be conspicuous through a full range of motion to any and all vehicle operators.
    Class 3 vests offer such protection. With 1,240 square inches of hi-vis background material combined with 310 square inches of retro-reflective material (2 inch reflective stripes), it provides the maximum visibility required by OSHA. ANSI Class 3 coverage translates to 365 more inches of background material and 109 more inches of retro-reflective material than ANSI Class 2, which is designed for moderate-risk jobs in proximity to vehicles traveling 25mph or less.
    ANSI Class 3 vests are particularly crucial when working in severe Fall weather such as heavy rains since they are designed to provide exceptional visibility under adverse weather conditions. So when choosing hi-vis wear for your job, be sure to get the ultimate in protection for your needs.
