high-visibility clothing

Fluorescent safety garments

High-visibility clothing is brightly colored garments with reflective strips designed to make the wearer conspicuous, especially in low light or hazardous environments.

Construction workers, road crews, and cyclists wear high-visibility clothing—often called hi-vis—to reduce the risk of being struck by vehicles or machinery.

Everyone on the job site must wear a high-vis vest.
