Reflective safety vests ANSI specs.
ANSI 107 features 3 classes of reflective safety vests, with varied specifications that are based on the worker's job activities. The three classes of reflective vests are differentiated by the requirements for amounts of retroreflective material that need to meet specified performance criteria, the width and placement of the material, design and the color of vest. Class III ANSI reflective vests provide the highest level of visibility and are designed for workers exposed to high risk environments and traffic exceeding 50 miles per hour. Class III reflective safety vests have sleeves and are made for all roadway construction personnel and vehicle operators, utility workers, survey crews, emergency responders, railway workers and accident site investigators. ANSI requirements also state that class III reflective vests have 1240 square inches of background material and 310 square inches of reflective material. Class II ANSI 107 safety vests are designed for workers who need greater visibility in poor weather conditions, and who are exposed to roadways with traffic that exceeds 25 miles per hour. A Class II reflective safety vest is ideal for railway workers, school crossing guards, parking and toll gate personnel, airport ground crews and law enforcement personnel directing traffic. According to ANSI standards, class II reflective vests must have 775 square inches of background material, and 201 square inches of reflective material. Order a reflective safety vest online today.
