Shirts
For workers whose jobs are in close proximity to traffic, heavy-duty equipment, warehouse operations, mining, forestry, utility lines, rail cars, airplanes or other moving hazards, it’s highly recommended, if not already required, to wear long sleeve high-visibility shirts. Studies show that the human eye can recognize the presence of a worker and take all necessary precautionary measures far more quickly when reflective piping around the torso, arms and legs indicates a human body in motion.
High-Visibility Shirts for Every Season
High-visibility shirts are among the few crucial pieces of personal protective equipment that keep workers safe by keeping them visible. With their Day-Glo colors and — in many cases — reflective piping, hi-viz shirts must meet CSA Z96-15 high-visibility safety apparel — or HVSA — standards to qualify as hi-vis clothing.
Hi-viz shirts are among the most inexpensive ways to reduce the risk of accidents on any worksite, especially when nearby traffic regularly exceeds speeds of 40 km/h. Also, in warehouses with forklift operations and parking lots with multiple rows of vehicles, it’s easier to see workers when they’re wearing appropriate hi-viz gear.
CSA standards employ three categories to classify high-vis apparel based on its visibility and overall coverage. They are as follows:
- Class 1 is assigned to hi-viz clothing that provides the minimum amount of coverage and visibility.
- Class 2 identifies apparel that supplies moderate body coverage in combination with a high level of visibility.
- Class 3 is reserved for clothing that provides the highest level of both coverage and visibility — even from a distance in poorly lit spaces.
With name brands like Pioneer, Milwaukee and Ergodyne, Construction Fasteners and Tools stocks a wide selection of CSA Z96 approved high-visibility shirts for every season of the year.
Our long-sleeved safety shirts from Pioneer feature StarTechTM reflective tape as well as moisture-wicking material, and they're classified as Class 2 pieces of HVSA.
When staying cool, dry and comfortable is the name of the game, you need our Milwaukee® WORKSKINTM Performance Shirts — made with patented COOLCORE® Fabrics that keep you up to 30 percent cooler by effectively preventing uncomfortable saturation due to sweat.
For maximum value, it’s hard to beat our Ergodyne Glowear Class 2 hi-viz t-shirts made from a moisture-wicking bird's eye knit that offers robust UV protection while increasing the wearer’s visibility.
Of course, fit means everything in workwear, which is why our hi-viz shirt inventory includes sizes ranging from small to XXXL.
