High visibility clothing
Safely visible: high visibility clothing is vital and an integral part of occupational safety in many trades. High visibility clothing such as high visibility pants, high visibility jackets and high visibility vests keep you visible and protected, whatever the lighting conditions. Bright colours and reflectors are easy to see and meet all safety requirements.
High-visibility clothing: luminosity that protects
Safety is one of the top priorities, especially in the industrial, food production, warehousing, logistics and construction sectors. Visibility and safety are closely linked here. Franz Mensch therefore offers you an extensive range of high-visibility clothing that has been specially developed to ensure safety in all working environments. Whether it's dark or wet: with high-visibility trousers, jackets and waistcoats, your employees will be visible and safe in all conditions.
High visibility clothing is workwear that increases the visibility of the wearer to protect them from accidents and injuries when working in dangerous or poorly lit environments. It consists of fluorescent materials in bright colours such as yellow or orange, which are conspicuous even in daylight. In addition, reflective strips are attached that reflect the light from vehicles or other light sources so that the wearer is clearly visible even in the dark or in poor weather conditions.
How to recognise good high-visibility clothing
- Fluorescent neon colours and reflectors: The visibility of employees is a decisive factor for personal safety, especially in adverse conditions such as bad weather, wetness, rain or darkness. High-visibility clothing is made of high-quality reflective material with fluorescent and retroreflective properties. This means that you and your team are immediately visible even in poor lighting conditions. The bright colours and reflectors on high-visibility trousers, high-visibility jackets and high-visibility waistcoats ensure quick visual recognition and therefore make an essential contribution to occupational safety.
- Certified quality: high-visibility clothing for professionals fulfils all relevant standards. This includes EN ISO 20471, which regulates the requirements for high-visibility clothing in terms of occupational safety.
- Protection from the weather: As well as being highly recognisable, high-visibility clothing also protects against various weather conditions. Whether heat, rain or cold: good high-visibility clothing is designed to offer optimum protection in a wide range of conditions.
At Franz Mensch, we attach great importance to ensuring that high-visibility clothing is safe and functional as well as comfortable and durable. High-quality high-visibility clothing combines these properties to ensure that you can concentrate fully on your work without having to worry about your safety.
Relevant standards for high-visibility clothing
High-visibility clothing is categorised into three visibility classes in accordance with the EN ISO 20471 standard, which differ in the amount of fluorescent material and reflective strips used. The classes are designed to correspond to different risk levels and working conditions.
- Klasse 1 – Class 1 - Low visibility
Class 1 is intended for activities where the risk of low visibility is classified as relatively low. This garment is suitable for work in safe, confined areas where vehicles or machinery operate at low speed. Class 1 garments must have at least 0.14 m² of fluorescent material and 0.10 m² of reflective material. - Klasse 2 – Class 2 - Medium visibility
Class 2 offers higher visibility than Class 1 and is designed for situations where good visibility is important but not yet the highest requirements. This often concerns work near roads, on construction sites or in areas where vehicles and equipment are moved at medium speed. Class 2 garments require at least 0.50 m² of fluorescent material and 0.13 m² of reflective material. - Klasse 3 – Class 3 - Highest visibility
