Mesh Class 2 Vest

An orange Class 2 safety vest is primarily used to enhance worker visibility in medium-risk environments, such as construction zones or utility work, where traffic speeds are between 25 and 50 mph. These vests meet ANSI/ISEA 107 standards for reflectivity, color, and coverage, ensuring workers are easily seen by drivers and other vehicles.
Here’s a more detailed breakdown:
Purpose:
Increased Visibility:
The bright orange color and reflective tape significantly improve the wearer’s visibility, especially in environments with potential traffic hazards.
Safety:
By making workers more visible, Class 2 vests help prevent accidents and ensure the safety of those working in or near traffic.
Medium-Risk Environments:
These vests are designed for situations where traffic speeds are moderate, but still require a high level of visibility.
Key Features:
Fluorescent Orange Color:
The bright orange color is specifically chosen for its high visibility.
Reflective Tape:
Class 2 vests have a minimum amount of reflective tape, often stripes, strategically placed to maximize visibility.
Coverage:
They typically provide moderate coverage, meaning they cover more of the torso than a Class 1 vest, but less than a Class 3 vest.
ANSI Certification:
They meet the requirements of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), ensuring they meet specific standards for reflectivity, color, and coverage.
Common Uses:
Construction Workers: On or near roadways, providing visibility for workers and crews.
Utility Workers: In areas with potential traffic hazards.
Road Maintenance Crews: Working on highways and roads.
Traffic Direction: Guiding traffic in construction zones.
Airport Personnel: Working in areas with aircraft or other vehicles.
