SAFETY APPAREL FAQS:
What qualifies as safety apparel?
Safety apparel includes clothing and accessories designed to improve visibility and provide protection in hazardous environments. Common examples are high-visibility vests, ANSI-rated shirts and reflective jackets.
Is high-visibility clothing required by law?
In many industries like construction, road work and emergency response, high-visibility apparel is mandated by OSHA and ANSI standards to ensure worker safety. Requirements may vary based on job type and location.
What does ANSI Class 2 and Class 3 mean for safety vests and shirts?
ANSI Class 2 is recommended for workers near traffic over 25 mph, while Class 3 is required for those in high-speed or high-risk environments. The higher the class, the more visible the garment due to added reflective material and coverage.
Can safety apparel be used for running or biking?
Yes! Many runners, cyclists and outdoor enthusiasts wear reflective or fluorescent gear to stay visible during low-light conditions. While not always ANSI-rated, recreational high-vis apparel boosts safety significantly.
How do I choose the right safety apparel for my job?
Consider the environment, lighting conditions, required ANSI class and specific hazards. For example, construction workers might need flame-resistant materials while nighttime flaggers need maximum visibility with Class 3 gear.
What's the difference between reflective and fluorescent clothing?
Fluorescent clothing enhances visibility during daylight by making colors pop while reflective materials shine under headlights or other light sources, improving visibility in low-light or nighttime conditions.
Do you carry safety hats or accessories?
How do I wash and care for safety apparel?
Always follow the manufacturer's care instructions. Generally, machine-wash in cold water without bleach or fabric softener and hang dry to preserve reflective material and garment integrity.
Where can I buy affordable safety apparel online?
You can find high-quality, competitively priced safety gear at ShirtSpace.com, with no order minimums and bulk discounts available.
Can I customize safety vests and shirts with my company logo?
Yes, many safety garments can be screen-printed or heat-pressed with logos, job titles or custom text. ShirtSpace offers printable options that are perfect for branding and team visibility.
What is the difference between FR (flame-resistant) and standard safety apparel?
FR safety apparel is made from materials that resist ignition and self-extinguish after flame exposure. Standard high-vis gear does not offer this level of protection and is not suitable for environments with fire or arc flash risks.
What is the difference between high-vis and safety colors?
At ShirtSpace, high-vis refers to garments designed to enhance visibility through both bright fluorescent fabric and reflective elements, often meeting ANSI/ISEA safety standards for workplace compliance. These are ideal for construction, road work or any low-light environments. Safety colors, on the other hand, generally describe bright hues like safety orange, green, yellow or pink, which increase visibility, but may not include reflective tape or meet ANSI certification. These garments are great for general use, recreational activities or non-OSHA-regulated environments where enhanced visibility is still important. Besides shirts, there are also safety-colored sweatshirts, polo shirts jackets and coats, hats and more!
