Safety vests are specially designed garments worn by workers to enhance visibility and protect them in hazardous environments. They are a core part of personal protective equipment (PPE) and are essential in workplaces where there is a risk of accidents due to moving vehicles, machinery, or low visibility conditions.

What Does “Safety Vest” Mean?
A safety vest is typically:
- High-Visibility: Made with fluorescent colours like yellow, orange, or green to stand out
- Reflective: Equipped with reflective strips to be seen in low-light or night-time conditions
- Protective Workwear: Worn over clothing to signal presence and role on a worksite
The term “safety vest” is used to describe any vest that increases a worker’s visibility and safety, especially in environments with traffic, machinery, or other hazards.
Purpose of Safety Vests
Safety vests serve several critical functions:
- Visibility – ensures workers are seen from a distance
- Accident Prevention – reduces the risk of collisions on construction sites, roads, and warehouses
- Role Identification – different colours or markings can indicate job roles (e.g., supervisor, first aid, security)
- Compliance – meets Australian and international safety standards for PPE
