When it comes to staying safe on the job, the proper clothing is essential.
With a stop at one of our 10 locations across the upper midwest, or conveniently through our online store, you’ll find everything you need to satisfy the safety protocols at your work environment.
Essential gear for your job may include a hi-vis vest like the 3M Reflective Vest, jackets that provide an added element of warmth such as this stylish Tingley Bomber Jacket, or Tingley Safety Pants, for those that need to keep their entire body visible.
In general, those who are exposed to heavy machinery, roadway traffic, construction or excavation sites, and work other OSHA-regulated jobs should invest in the proper safety equipment. When you’re in a work environment that’s susceptible to accidents, taking precaution by wearing the gear can help you avoid unwanted injury.
Class 3 clothing is worn by workers in areas with a high amount of automobile traffic that travels at speeds of 50mph or higher. This includes utility crews, emergency responders and site inspectors. These vests, jackets and long-sleeve t-shirts include a minimum of 310 square inches of reflective tape to make the worker’s silhouette highly visible.
Those working on busy roads during daytime will most likely use orange hi-vis clothing, as it contrasts the blue sky, green landscape and stands out even in bright light. Green hi-vis clothing is mostly used at night or indoors where lighting isn’t as good. To better assess which color you should choose, take a look at the surroundings of your work environment and try to pick the color that stands out the most. Or, reach out to your employer to better understand regulations.
