High visibility clothing is a must at road construction sites. Good visibility of workers to all participants of vehicles movement at or near the construction site is essential to workers’ safety. EN ISO 20471 certified high visibility clothing is considered a PPE for a road worker.
Yellow or orange fluorescent material greatly increases the worker’s visibility. It works particularly well at twilight. During the night time the protection relies upon the reflective material. Car’s headlamps light reflect from the reflective material, comes back to the driver and he or she sees from some great distance that somebody is ahead.
Besides hi-vis cloth one may also need a helmet, spectacles, gloves and heat or cold resistant footwear when working at a road construction site.
Please, notice, that the information below shall be regarded only as general information. We cannot take into account the real working conditions. The information provided shall not be considered as a recommendation to use certain PPEs in your working processes.
