Safety vests are a vital component of personal protective equipment (PPE), ensuring workers remain visible and protected across various industries. Selecting the right safety vest is not only about compliance—it’s also about comfort, fit, and practicality.
This guide helps Australian businesses understand the key considerations for choosing vests suitable for their workforce, including bulk options for schools, events, or teams.
Why Safety Vests Are Essential
High-visibility vests protect workers in environments where visibility is crucial, such as:
- Construction sites
- Warehouses and logistics hubs
- Roadside maintenance and traffic management
