BREAKAWAY SAFETY VESTS  
Breakaway safety vests are designed to increase worker safety in environments where there is a risk of being caught or snagged by moving vehicles, machinery, or equipment. These hi vis tear away vests feature secure fastening points that release under pressure, allowing the vest to come off quickly and prevent injury. They are ideal for roadway workers, construction crews, utility personnel, and others working near moving parts.

KEY DURABILITY AND DESIGN FEATURES  
Breakaway safety vests from HiVis Supply feature rugged construction with lightweight, breathable materials for all-day comfort. Many of these vests come with pockets and adjustable fits, making them practical for carrying tools and personal items while on the job. The breakaway points are typically found at the shoulders, sides, and front closure, providing multiple areas of quick-release protection.

Additional Information
What makes a breakaway safety vest different from a regular hi vis safety vest?

A breakaway safety vest is designed with tear-away seams at key stress points. If the vest gets caught on machinery or equipment, it will instantly ""break away"" or come apart, reducing the risk of entanglement and injury.

Who should wear a breakaway safety vest?

Breakaway safety vests are ideal for workers in high-risk environments, especially those working near moving vehicles, heavy equipment, or machinery. They're widely used in road construction, warehouse operations, traffic control, and by emergency responders.

Are breakaway safety vests available in ANSI Class 2 and Class 3?

Yes, HiVis Supply carries breakaway vests in both ANSI Class 2 and Class 3 ratings. Class 2 vests offer increased visibility for workers in moderate-risk environments, while Class 3 vests feature more reflective material and coverage for higher-risk work conditions.

Do breakaway safety vests come in different colors and styles?

Absolutely. You’ll find high visibility options like lime and orange hi vis breakaway vests. Styles include options with pockets, two-tone designs, and different closure types to suit your work requirements.

What features should I look for in a breakaway safety vest?

Key features include high-visibility fabric, reflective striping, secure but easy-release fasteners at the shoulders, sides, and front, plus practical details like pockets or radio tabs for on-the-job convenience.

Can I add a company logo to a breakaway safety vest?

Yes, many hi vis breakaway vests from HiVis Supply can be customized with your company name or logo. Look for vests labeled as ""customizable"" or contact our customer service for details regarding customization options.

How do I know if a breakaway vest meets safety standards?

All breakaway safety vests at HiVis Supply list their ANSI rating in the product details. Look for ANSI/ISEA 107-2020 compliance to ensure you meet industry visibility and safety requirements.

Is a breakaway safety vest required by OSHA or specific workplace regulations?

Some job sites and regulations require breakaway designs for tasks near moving vehicles or machinery to prevent snag hazards. Always check your company's safety policies and OSHA guidelines to ensure compliance with PPE regulations.

Why Is a Breakaway Safety Vest the Right Choice?

But, in the case of breakaway safety vests, breaking away at the right time can quite literally save you from death or serious injury. Breakaway safety vests are designed to keep your safety vest from turning into a dangerous liability in certain types of jobs.
