Hi Vis Clothing

Learn more about hi vis clothing

High-visibility workwear is a mandatory component of site safety across UK construction, railway, and highway environments. 

Manufactured using fluorescent background materials combined with retro-reflective tape, these garments ensure workers remain conspicuous to machinery operators and vehicle traffic under natural daylight, artificial site lighting, and total darkness. 

We stock certified reflective workwear rated from Class 1 to Class 3 compliance, featuring high-tensile retro-reflective tape and tear-resistant fluorescent fabrics. Equipping a full site crew or upgrading your personal kit, discover protective clothing built to withstand tough working conditions. 

Typical uses

High visibility clothing helps you stay seen in busy work areas, on construction sites, in yards and during deliveries where visibility matters.

Choose the garment that matches the task and the weather:

• Construction & demolition sites: Meeting site safety requirements for contractors, plant operators, and site supervisors.

• Highway & railway maintenance: Providing maximum Class 3 visual contrast for high-speed roadside work and RIS-3279-TOM rail compliance.

• Warehousing & logistics: Ensuring forklift drivers and warehouse operatives can easily spot pedestrian staff in busy distribution hubs.

• Traffic management & escorting: Directing site traffic, delivery vehicles, and pedestrian access safely around active building sites.

Reflective safety clothing and workwear with reflective strips are useful when light levels drop and vehicle headlights or site lighting come into play.

How to choose the right hi vis clothing

• Understand safety classes: Class 1 offers the minimum level of visibility (ideal for off-road or low-traffic sites). Class 2 is suitable for public roads and general construction. Class 3 provides the highest level of visual identification, requiring full torso coverage with sleeve or leg reflective bands. 

• Check the garment type. A vest is quick to put on, a jacket adds warmth and cover, and trousers or coveralls give more all round visibility.

• Think about the weather. If you work in wet conditions, choose a hi vis rain jacket that suits the forecast and the shift.

• Allow for layering. Make sure the garment leaves room for what you wear underneath, so you can move comfortably through the day.

• Check the product specification. Look at the details for visibility, weather protection and any other features the job calls for.

• Look for the right visibility level for the task, site rules and risk. If your job needs EN ISO 20471 high visibility clothing, check the product details before you order.

Before you order

• Double-check your site's specific safety class requirements to ensure full compliance.

• Confirm the size and fit you need.

• Check branch stock if you want to collect it locally.

• Review the product specifications before you buy.

• Make sure the garment works with the rest of your PPE.

• Use the product care guidance to help keep the clothing in good condition.

You can browse the range online, then use Click & Collect to pick up your order from your local branch when you need it. If you buy regularly across different projects, a trade account gives you another way to manage your purchases.
