HIGH / ENHANCED VISIBILITY RETRO-REFLECTIVE TRIM Increased worker visibility can be critical when working in high-traffic areas, around equipment operations or within environments where it is crucial to be seen. Adding striping to your uniform can make a life-saving difference. The American National Standard for High-Visibility Safety Apparel is ANSI/ISEA 107. This standard specifies performance requirements including the type, location and minimum area of the retro-reflective trim, as well as the color, physical properties and minimum area of the fabric used in the construction of high-visibility garment. These performance requirements have been developed by industry experts to provide visibility of wearers in a variety of situations. We recommend following these requirements whenever possible, based on your hazard assessment. ANSI-ISEA 107 compliant garments can be found on pages 40-52. Simply enhancing your uniform by adding retroreflective striping can also be helpful in providing improved visibility of workers. Select from many trim options, colors and placement to meet your specific worker visibility needs. This distinctive striping can be added to most Bulwark® garments. Flame-resistant striping is always used, for FR garments. The garments and striping you select should depend on the end use requirements and the method of laundering used on the garments. Above are examples of how a plain stocked garment can be customized with three of our most popular striping configurations. With a few exceptions, stripes shown above the waist can be applied to a shirt, jacket or coverall. Stripes shown below the waist can be applied to a pant or coverall. The specific details of a garment, like the size of a pocket, the placement of closures, an emblem or an additional pocket, may dictate a slight change in the placement from what is shown in these images. Striping applied post-manufacturing will always go around a pocket or emblem. Pockets cannot be removed for reflective trim application. Stripes on a waistband will be moved up or down if the waistband has elastic sections.
