KeepSAFE - 2024 Collection

Introducing our new range of Women’s High-Visibility clothing When designing protective workwear for women, our team focuses on minimising risk while maximising comfort, enabling workers to perform their jobs without restriction. The garments are crafted to align with average women’s measurements, such as height and arm length, to reduce the chances of tripping or snagging. Tailored adjustments around the waist and hips provide enhanced comfort, especially for extended wear, ensuring the workwear supports both safety and ease of movement throughout the day.

A Guide to EN ISO 20471

High-Visibility clothing is designed to make the person wearing it more visible in all lighting conditions, including daylight and under illumination by vehicle headlights in the dark. The international standard is primarily aimed at ensuring the safety of workers who are at risk of being hit by vehicles or moving equipment whilst at work. EN ISO 20471 ensures garments meet the following requirements: Colour and Reflectivity Retroreflective materials greatly enhance your visibility in low light situations. This reflective material returns light to a light source – such as vehicle headlights – creating a bright image that motorists are more likely to see from a distance. As a result, motorists and pedestrians have more time to react. Design The garment design must ensure maximum visibility of the wearer from all angles, even when they are moving. Durability The garment must retain its protective qualities over time. There is strict criteria for maintaining the colour intensity and how the reflective materials (comprising tiny glass particles) perform after repeated washing.
