The Importance of a Reflective Safety Vest in Construction?

Whether you are working on a home construction project or you work in the construction field, safety should always be of the utmost importance to you. When it starts to get dark outside, and you're working near the road or around heavy machinery, it's very important that you're able to be seen by others for safety reasons. This is why it's important to wear a reflective safety vest while you're working. These vests make you much easier to see in the failing light, and are very lightweight. Most of them even have integrated pockets for all your pieces of gear.


What do engineers wear?

It depends on the type of engineering, but basic equipment in a factory setting, is steel toe-caped boots, hard wearing clothes and overalls, a hi-viz safety vest or jacket, waterproof industrial gloves, hard hat, goggles, ear plugs (ear defenders, ear muffs). Additional items if working in tight, hazardous areas (underground waste/sewerage pumping stations, etc) would be a gas detector, a torch(s), and a safety assessment of possible hazards and dangers having been previously made.

What is a bulletproof jacket made of?

A bullet proof jacket is made from several thin layers of a material known as kevlar ( Kevlar is a registered trade mark). Kevlar is a para-aramid synthetic fibre. Some vests also allow for metal plates to be inserted. While kevlar is light-weight, inserted metal plates make the vest heavier. Though if the vest stops a bullet, I doubt the wearer would mind how heavy the vest was.
