safety jacket

High-visibility work wear

A safety jacket is a bright, often fluorescent vest worn for visibility in hazardous environments—construction sites, roadways, or anywhere workers need to be seen by drivers or equipment operators.

The term sometimes refers to a life jacket, though life jacket or life vest are more common for flotation devices.

Road crews wear safety jackets even in daylight.
