Safety vests are made out of reflective material and are manufactured in a variety of bright colors. Worn by road workers, road flaggers and emergency personnel, safety vests help alert citizens of dangerous work zones or cautionary areas. Bicyclists and other sporting enthusiasts also wear safety vests to ensure their safety during a ride or a game. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) reports that safety vests should encompass reflective materials that are sewn into all areas of the vest that include horizontal, vertical and angular stripes; this allows them to be used for both day and night work.
Reducing Traffic Accidents
· Wearing a
safety vest when working in dangerous or high-traffic areas can help reduce
road accidents. Drivers that see workers wearing bright orange or red safety
vests can identify dangerous areas and slow their vehicles down so they can
travel through a construction or school zone--and around pedestrians--in a safe
manner.
The Sport of Hunting
· Some
recreational sports such as hunting require competitors to wear safety vests.
Safety vests can alert other hunting enthusiasts as to your location, thereby
keeping you safe from bullets and other weapons.
Reducing Cycling Accidents
· Bicyclists
should wear safety vests at night or during any inclement weather. Safety vests
can alert motorists as to your presence on the road, allowing them to slow down
and go around you safely. BicycleSafety.com reports that wearing helmets and
keeping to the right of the lane is not enough when it comes to bicyclists'
safety. Safety vests can alert pedestrians and motorists alike of their
position during a ride.
Life Jackets and Boating
Certain
life jackets can be used as safety vests when enjoying recreational activities
such as water skiing, boating, canoeing and jet skiing. Life jacket safety
vests act as both a flotation device and as a reflective tool to allow other
recreational enthusiasts to see you at all times. In times of a water
emergency, a life jacket safety vest can allow emergency personnel to see your
exact location.
Road Construction Workers
· Road
construction workers benefit from wearing safety vests when working in dull light
or darkness as it allows motorists to see them in their work zones. This is
especially important when construction workers are completing a job on a
highway where the traffic is moving at a fast speed.
