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.
