ANSI CLASS 2 SAFETY VESTS
ANSI CLASS 2 SAFETY VESTS
ANSI Class 2 safety vests are built for enhanced visibility in situations where backgrounds are complex, and workers need to be easily seen. These vests use high visibility materials—typically fluorescent yellow or orange with reflective tape—to help meet or exceed the standards set by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). They are intended for those in environments such as road construction, utility work, airport operations, and emergency response, where visibility is vital for safety. Meeting ANSI requirements ensures these vests offer the right amount of coverage and reflectivity for lower-risk job sites with moving vehicles or equipment.
FEATURES OF ANSI CLASS 2 VESTS
Class 2 safety vests come in a variety of styles designed for user comfort and job-specific needs. Options include front closures in zipper, Velcro, or snap formats, as well as mesh or solid fabrics for breathability or durability. Additional features, like multiple pockets, microphone tabs, and radio holders, support workers who need to carry essential tools. Bright colors, reinforced stitching, and high-contrast reflective tape keep the wearer visible in changing light conditions. Many styles are available in both men’s and women’s sizes to ensure a secure, comfortable fit.
APPLICATIONS AND COMPLIANCE
ANSI class 2 vests are required for workzones where traffic exceeds 25 mph or where visibility needs to be elevated. Typical industries include construction, transportation, survey, warehouse operations, and event security. Wearing a compliant ANSI Class 2 safety vest significantly reduces the risk of accidents by making workers noticeable from a greater distance, especially during early morning, evening, or inclement weather.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT CLASS 2 VEST
When selecting an ANSI Class 2 vest, consider factors like required visibility level, job site hazards, and the need for storage or specialty features. HiVis Supply carries a full range of class 2 hi-vis vests for compliance, comfort, and durability, offering solutions that help keep your crew safe and meet industry standards.
