This structure supports clear internal navigation while allowing businesses to source complete high visibility gear from a single supplier.
Selecting the correct hi vis clothing depends on the working environment, exposure level, and duration of wear. Choosing appropriately helps businesses maintain compliance while ensuring comfort and consistent use across teams. Choosing the right hi vis workwear & safety clothing supports compliance while improving wearer acceptance and overall site safety.
When selecting high visibility clothing, businesses should consider:
Work environment – roadworks, construction sites, warehouses, or rail environments may require different garment types
Level of exposure – outer layers may be required for open or traffic-adjacent sites, while lighter garments suit controlled environments
Seasonal conditions – insulated or waterproof garments may be necessary for colder or wet conditions
Movement and comfort – flexible designs support productivity during physically demanding tasks
Compatibility with other PPE – hi vis workwear should integrate with helmets, gloves, and safety footwear
Professional hi-vis clothing is designed to improve wearer visibility in low-light, poor-lighting, and hazardous working environments where there is a risk from moving vehicles, machinery, or site operations. High visibility is achieved through a combination of fluorescent fabric and reflective tape, which allows the wearer to be seen both during daylight and when illuminated by artificial light sources.
In the UK, high visibility clothing is assessed primarily against EN ISO 20471, the recognised international standard that defines minimum performance requirements for visibility, colour, and reflective coverage. Only fluorescent yellow and fluorescent orange garments conform to EN ISO 20471.
EN ISO 20471 Visibility Classes
EN ISO 20471 classifies hi-vis garments into three visibility classes based on the surface area of fluorescent fabric and reflective tape used. Certification is based on the total visible material present on the garment.
Class 1 – Provides the lowest level of visibility and is suitable for low-risk environments where vehicle speeds are low and workers are clearly separated from traffic. Typically used for basic site compliance garments such as hi-vis trousers or waistcoats in controlled environments.
Class 2 – Offers increased visibility and is recommended for environments with moving vehicles or plant, such as logistics areas, roadside work, and industrial sites. Class 2 garments are commonly worn as standalone items, including hi-vis waistcoats and jackets.
Class 3 – Provides the highest level of visibility and is required for high-risk environments such as highways, major roadworks, airports, and night-time operations. Class 3 garments typically include hi-vis jackets and coveralls that provide full upper-body coverage with extensive reflective detailing.
In certain situations, Class 3 compliance can also be achieved by wearing two certified hi-vis garments together, such as a Class 2 hi-vis waistcoat combined with Class 1 hi-vis trousers, provided the total visible fluorescent and reflective material meets Class 3 requirements.
Rail Industry Standard – RIS-3279-TOM
For rail environments, hi-vis clothing must meet the RIS-3279-TOM standard, which applies specifically to workers involved in the construction, maintenance, and operation of rail infrastructure.
RIS-3279-TOM requires hi-vis clothing to:
Be fluorescent orange in colour
Include reflective tape positioned to maximise visibility during rail movements
Feature reflective tape on or near the shoulders, in line with EN ISO 20471 Class 2 or higher
Provide conspicuous visibility to support worker safety during active rail operations
This standard is essential for rail workers, contractors, and support personnel operating on or near live rail infrastructure.
Industry-Specific Identification & Branding
In operational environments, hi-vis clothing may also be used for role identification, emergency response, or contractor differentiation. Custom-printed hi-vis garments allow organisations to apply company branding, job titles, or role markings (such as Rail Incident Officer identification) without compromising garment certification when applied correctly.
Tiger Supplies supports businesses sourcing compliant hi-vis clothing that meets EN ISO 20471 and RIS-3279-TOM requirements, helping organisations select appropriate garments based on operational risk, industry regulations, and site-specific safety needs.
To remain effective, hi vis clothing must be properly maintained throughout its working life. Dirt, wear, and damage can reduce the visibility of both fluorescent fabrics and reflective elements, increasing safety risk in active work environments.
When managing high visibility clothing for teams or sites, businesses should consider:
Regular inspection – garments should be checked for fading, damage, or worn reflective strips
Correct cleaning – following manufacturer guidance helps preserve colour brightness and reflective performance
Timely replacement – damaged or heavily worn hi vis work clothes should be replaced to maintain compliance and visibility
Task-specific use – selecting the correct garment type for the role reduces premature wear and improves effectiveness
