High-visibility safety jackets are critical to protecting your team in low-light conditions. They feature reflective markings that can be seen clearly in the dark, indicating to oncoming traffic and other employees where workers are at all times. Unlike workplace lighting, high-visibility jackets require no maintenance and never wear out. They are part of a complete safety solution when:

  • Trucks, forklifts, vehicles or heavy machinery are present.
  • Poor visibility and low light conditions pose an additional safety risk to workers.
  • Employees need to see each other to work and communicate effectively.

Extreme temperatures and fire hazards may pose additional risks that require specialized apparel. In addition to our standard products, D.E. Gemmill Inc. also stocks high-visibility jackets that are insulated and fire-resistant for extra protection.

What to Consider When Buying Safety Jackets Online

Buying anything online will always involve some degree of risk. When it’s safety apparel or related equipment, that risk is compounded by the fact that choosing the wrong product for the task can have significant consequences. For this reason alone, it’s always best to educate yourself before making any purchase.

ANSI/ISEA 107 is one of the main standards governing high-visibility clothing. It outlines three main classes of reflective safety jackets:

  • ANSI, Class 1: This clothing features a minimal amount of reflective material. Class 1 jackets are suitable for use in low-risk environments such as those where there is a considerable separation between workers and moving vehicles or in off-road sites with slow-moving traffic.
  • ANSI, Class 2: These jackets have more reflective material, making them suitable for use in more dangerous environments. Workers typically wear Class 2 safety jackets in temporary traffic zones and other areas where they are exposed to right-of-way traffic.
  • ANSI, Class 3: These offer the most reflectivity in low-light conditions and the best definition of the human form. They are a safe choice for use in jobs where traffic moving faster than 50 mph is present, such as highway construction, utility work and more.

A safety jacket’s ANSI rating is important, but it’s not the only consideration. A jacket should be warm and durable while remaining comfortable enough to permit workers to do their job effectively. Removable liners, oversized pockets and waterproofing are useful features too. Additionally, a jacket should be sized properly to fit snugly without restricting the wearer’s movement.
