Which Industries Can Use a Hi-Vis Vest?
Orange high visibility PPE is a legal requirement for UK railway workers. Due to its extremely high luminosity and visibility in both low and high light levels, the Uneek Hi-Vis Railway Safety Vest is a suitable choice of PPE for a wide range of industries, including:
- Railway Workers
- Traffic Guard
- Security
- Event Marshalling
- Forklift Driving
- Building and Construction
- Emergency Services
- Warehouses

- Factories
The Orange Hi-Vis, as opposed to the Yellow Hi-Vis PPE, is associated with hazard and warning signals, often prompting quicker recognition which can make it a safer option in potentially dangerous environments.

Keep your workwear easily recognisable and consistent by tailoring it to your brand's needs.

Designed for durability and comfort in mind, the Uneek Hi-Vis Vest can uphold its reflective quality for up to 25 washes with no reduction in visibility. Wash your vest on a 40°C wash and refrain from tumble drying to get the optimal, long-lasting result from this product.
Why Should I Choose Orange for High Visibility?
Orange is commonly used for high-visibility workwear as it is high on the chromaticity scale. Orange's high luminance makes it easily detected and visible from a distance in both low and daylight conditions. It stands out starkly in natural backgrounds like greenery, blue skies, and grey pavement.
Why Do I Need to Wear Orange Hi-Vis as a UK Railway Worker?
Orange hi-vis workwear maintains warning or hazard connotations, as opposed to simple high visibility. Based on the European standard RIS-3279-TOM, orange hi-vis is legally required for those working on or near a railway in order to clearly distinguish between workers and traffic lights.
Is Orange Hi-Vis the Preferred Choice In Other Industries?
Both orange and yellow hi-vis workwear are accepted forms of high visibility apparel across various industries. Other industries have opted for orange hi-vis due to its unmistakable colour in natural backgrounds, as well as being deemed less attractive to insects.
