When it comes to workplace safety, visibility is crucial. Depending on lighting conditions and the associated risk level, selecting the right workwear is essential. But what’s the difference between high-visibility workwear and improved-visibility workwear?

High Visibility vs Enhanced Visibility:

High visibility workwear, meeting the EN ISO 20471 standard, is designed for high-risk environments like roadwork or airports, where visibility in all lighting conditions is essential. On the other hand, enhanced visibility workwear, according to the EN 17353 standard, is suitable for medium or low-risk situations. While it is not intended for situations where high visibility protective equipment is mandatory, it still offers effective safety for those needing visibility without being in hazardous conditions.

Types of Enhanced Visibility Workwear:

Enhanced visibility workwear comes in several types, each designed for specific lighting conditions:

• Type A: Provides protection only in daylight and features a minimal amount of fluorescent material. It’s ideal for those who work primarily during the day and need basic visibility.
  

• Type B: Designed for twilight and nighttime conditions, using reflective materials to enhance visibility. It’s divided into three subcategories:
  

  • B1: Features non-fixed reflective inserts.
    
  • B2: Includes reflective inserts on the limbs.
    
  • B3: Offers the highest level of protection with reflective bands on both the torso and limbs.
    

• Type AB: Combines reflective and fluorescent materials to ensure visibility in daylight, twilight, and nighttime conditions. This type is perfect for those working in varying light conditions throughout the day.
