Hi-Vis Clothing Explained: Classes, Rules & When You Need It

If your team works near traffic, plant or in low light, hi-vis isn't optional — it's safety kit, and often a legal requirement. Here's what you need to know.

The three classes

Hi-vis is graded by how visible it makes you. Class 1 is the lowest (low-risk, off-road), Class 2 covers most general site and roadside work, and Class 3 offers the most coverage for high-speed or low-visibility environments. When in doubt, size up the class.

Can you brand hi-vis?

Yes — and you should, so your team is identifiable. We add logos to hi-vis without compromising the reflective areas. Heat-applied print and embroidery on the non-reflective panels both work well.
