Health, Safety & Environmental Bulletin No 069
S Martin– 03 January 2008
Global Alliance - High Vis Jackets & Vests
Please see below extract from Global Alliance safety bulletin.
From: Martin Rackley Global Alliance HSSE Manager Ref. No G/07
Recent HSSE inspections and site visits have found an increasing number of contractors wearing old,
dirty or damaged high vis jackets and vests. With the arrival of winter the need to be seen at all times is
even more important regardless of whether you work on a construction site OR operational s/stn
forecourt.
• All supervisors are to check that hi vis clothing is fit for purpose.
• Ensure dirt / mud is washed off. A dull colour is normally due to wear and over exposure to
sunlight.
• Are the reflective strips clean? Do they work at night? Check BEFOREHAND.
• IF IN DOUBT – SPEAK WITH YOUR COMPANY SUPERVISOR AND REQUEST A NEW
ISSUE.
“let’s make sure that we continue to make our sites THE SAFEST by helping ourselves, our colleagues,
our customers and even our competitors by improving training, helping where necessary and
addressing any issues of concern there and then”
