The ANSI/ISEA 107-2015 standard created new rules in Hi-Vis material these include design, measurements, and certain classifications. Another item that fell in this standard is the inclusion of high-visibility gloves. But why use high-vis gloves as opposed to your regular ones?

Not your usual pair of gloves.

Hi-vis gloves are specifically designed for visibility. Having a combination of hi-vis and retroreflective material these gloves are designed to be seen. During the day, hi-vis material color becomes enhanced, and at night the retroreflective material bounces any light source back helping the wearer become more visible. Having on specifically designed hi-vis gloves helps in making people more visible, this reduces accidents in the work place. If you find yourself working at night, having on as much hi-vis personal protective equipment as possible would be a smart move.

Please keep in mind that the glove compliance in this standard is optional, but why would you not take advantage of the new hi-vis gloves that are now available?

Don’t forget also that it’s not like all these gloves are meant to do is be as bright as possible- they are also durable and usable.

Hi-vis gloves are an affordable, better visible, and safer option then other gloves on the market. Safety product manufactures are now coming out with different types of hi -vis gloves for every kind of work industry. Whatever your needs or type of work there are safety hi-vis gloves designed for your job field.
