| These Lakeland Hi-Viz Garments conform to 107-2004 American National Standard for High Visibility Apparel.
Developed to mesh with the demanding requirements of the EN 471 Standard for Three garment classes in ANSI 107:
A. ANSI Class 1 “Typical”, ANSI Class 2 “Under certain conditions”
For occupational activities which:
1. permit full and undivided attention to approaching traffic;
2. ensure ample separation of the pedestrian worker from opposing vehicle traffic;
3. create maximum viewing in non-complex backgrounds; and where
4. vehicle and moving equipment speeds do not top 25 mph.
B. ANSI Class 2 “Typical”, ANSI Class 1 or 3 “Based on certain conditions”
For occupational activities where risk levels
exceed those in scenario A:
1. greater visibility is desired in bad weather;
2. complex backgrounds are involved;
3. workers’ tasks are drawing attention away from ongoing vehicular traffic;
4. vehicle/equipment speeds are greater that in Scenario A; or
5. the job is closer to vehicular traffic.
C. ANSI Class 2 or 3 “Typical” based on certain conditions
For occupational activities where risk levels
exceed those of Scenario B, such as where:
1. workers are dealing with higher vehicle speeds and/or shorter sight-distances;
2. workers and drivers have great work loads, placing the worker in obvious danger; or
3. the worker-wearer must be highly visible through all his/her motions at a minimum of 390 m (1280 feet), and must be recognized immediately as a human being. |
