The high-visibility clothing is intended to provide conspicuity of the wearer in any light condition when viewed by operators of vehicles or other mechanized during daylight conditions and under illumination of headlights in the dark. The use of a high-visibility piece of garment does not guarantee full visibility of the user under all conditions. High-visibility clothing is divided in three classes, depending on the minimum surfaces of visible material.
CLASS 1: They are used in activities that allow the wearer to be viewed completely without hesitance from approaching vehicles. There should be enough distance between the worker and the traffic, which should not travel at more than 40 km/h.
CLASS 2: Their use is applied to situations where a greater visibility is needed, under bad weather conditions or situations where the workers carry out tasks that could distract their attention from the approaching traffic or situate them close to vehicles travelling at more than 40 km/h.
CLASS 3: They are used by those workers who are exposed to a great danger in high work load situations, bad weather conditions or speed traffic of more than 80 km/h.
