Hi-Vis Embroidery – Why You Should Be Investing In Custom Embroidered Safety Gear

Worker safety should always be a top priority in your workplace, and one of the most effective ways to ensure worker safety is to provide your team with safety apparel. Keep reading to discover how custom safety gear with hi-vis embroidery can keep your workers safe and feeling their best while on the job.

Hi-Vis Can Be an Essential Requirement in Some Jobs

Hi-vis or high-visibility apparel is essential in work environments with low light or poor visibility. Wearing such apparel ensures that workers can easily see colleagues during low visibility. If workers can see each other, it reduces the likelihood of running into each other while carrying hazardous materials or piloting vehicles and other heavy machinery.

Compared to other colors, the human eye responds to reflective colors faster. The typical high-vis apparel features reflective and highly contrasting fabrics that help the wearer stand out and be more visible in all lighting conditions. The more visible a person is, the easier it is to spot and avoid them when visibility is low.

You can find hi-vis work apparel offered as vests, shirts, jackets, and other clothing. However, if you want your team to really stand out, you should clothe them in custom safety apparel with hi-vis embroidery. Embroidering your brand name on your work apparel will make it more visually appealing and differentiate your team from other workers. Custom embroidered uniforms can also turn your team into walking billboards that continuously spread brand awareness for your company.
