Everything You Need To Know About The ANSI 107 Standard
Even with the advent of the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) in 1971, and its many subsequent safety standards put in place to safeguard the American workforce, it is sometimes hard to believe that the first guideline regarding high visibility garments was not published until 1999. This standard was the result of a joint effort of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the International Safety Equipment Association (ISEA). The ANSI/ISEA 107-1999 standard, for high visibility garments, was the first widely recognized standard that addressed hi-vis clothing design, performance specifications, and usage.
