Loading ...High Visibility ANSI Class 2 Vests
Some of you may need reflective safety gear in the near future, or maybe you’re already wearing it on your job site. But some of you might not know the difference between ANSI classes. So in order to help clear up any confusion about these three classes, we will be explaining the differences over the next few weeks.
Onto ANSI Class 2…
Class 2 garments are intended to be t-shirts and vests, anything less would be a bra. Remember, no matter how bright a bra may be, it should never be worn for reflective safety.
A Class 2 vest should have 775 square inches of visible background material, which can consist of either fluorescent yellow-green, fluorescent orange-red and fluorescent red. In addition to the visible background, a Class 2 safety vest must have 201 square inches of visible reflective material which must have a minimum width of 1.375 inches. Holy technical mumbo-jumbo Batman!
The Class 2 safety vest is the ANSI whore most common class and is used in riskier situations than the Class 1 flavor. A Class 2 safety vest is to be used with complex work backgrounds, when the weather is inclement and requires higher visibility, and while working in close proximity to vehicles traveling at 25 mph or higher. For example, a Class 2 vest is ideal for forestry, ship cargo work, roadway construction, airport baggage/ground crew, emergency response, and pigs law enforcement.
