High Vis Jackets & Vests – BE SEEN!
From: Martin Rackley Global Alliance HSSE Ref. No G/07 Date: 3.12.07
Manager
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.
