High-Visibility Yellow Design

The Scan Yellow Hi-Vis Waistcoat features a bright yellow background designed to make the wearer more noticeable against surrounding workplace environments.

High-visibility clothing is particularly useful where workers may be exposed to moving vehicles, machinery or other workplace hazards.

The bright fabric helps improve daytime visibility, while the reflective tape panels provide an additional visibility feature when illuminated by an external light source.

Retro-Reflective Safety Tape

The waistcoat incorporates retro-reflective tape panels designed to reflect incoming light back towards its source.

This is especially useful when the wearer is illuminated by:

• Vehicle headlights

• Forklift lighting

• Site lighting

• Portable work lights

• Other suitable external light sources

The reflective panels help make the wearer more noticeable during darkness and low-light conditions.

Important: Retro-reflective tape does not generate its own light. Its effectiveness depends on illumination, garment condition and the surrounding environment.

100% Polyester Construction

Manufactured from 100% polyester, the Scan High-Visibility Waistcoat offers a practical workwear construction suitable for regular use.

Polyester is commonly used in high-visibility clothing because it provides a lightweight and durable fabric.

The waistcoat can be worn over suitable workwear, making it convenient for employees and visitors who require an additional high-visibility outer layer.

Black Bound Edging

The garment features black bound edging, providing a contrasting finish around the waistcoat.

This detail creates a neat, professional appearance and helps finish the fabric edges.

The combination of bright yellow material and black edging gives the Scan Hi-Vis Waistcoat a practical and recognisable workwear design.

Hook & Loop Front Fastening

The hook and loop front fastening allows the waistcoat to be opened and secured quickly.

This makes it convenient for situations where high-visibility clothing needs to be put on or removed regularly.

The fastening also provides a straightforward alternative to buttons or zips, making the waistcoat easy to use as an additional workwear layer.

Lightweight High-Visibility Workwear

The Scan Yellow Safety Waistcoat is designed to provide increased visibility without the weight of a jacket.

Its simple sleeveless design makes it useful in environments where additional weather protection is unnecessary.

It can be worn over suitable clothing, subject to the garment's fit and the requirements of the workplace.

This makes it particularly practical for indoor work, warmer conditions and temporary site visits.

Ideal for Construction & Site Work

High-visibility waistcoats are commonly used in workplaces where employees and visitors need to be readily identifiable.

The Scan High-Visibility Yellow Waistcoat is suitable for a variety of applications, subject to the relevant workplace risk assessment.

Typical uses include:

• Construction sites

• Building and maintenance work

• Warehouses

• Distribution centres

• Logistics operations

• Delivery and loading areas

• Industrial facilities

• Site inspections

• Facilities management

• General workplace safety

The required high-visibility clothing class should always be determined by the hazards and conditions of the working environment.

EN471 Class 2 & EN340 Standards

The Scan High-Visibility Yellow Waistcoat is described as conforming to:

EN471 Class 2

A former European standard for high-visibility warning clothing, with Class 2 specifying requirements for high-visibility material coverage and performance.

EN340

A former European standard covering general requirements for protective clothing.

These standards have subsequently been superseded by newer standards, including EN ISO 20471 and EN ISO 13688.

Important: The supplied EN471 Class 2 and EN340 specifications should not be treated as proof of conformity with the newer standards. Check the garment label and current declaration of conformity to ensure it meets your workplace's PPE requirements.

Easy to Wear Over Existing Clothing

The Scan Hi-Vis Waistcoat is designed to be worn as an outer layer over suitable clothing.

Its sleeveless design allows the wearer to retain freedom of arm movement while benefiting from enhanced visibility.

For the best fit and visibility, choose an appropriate size and ensure that the reflective panels remain unobstructed when the garment is worn.

Care & Maintenance

To help maintain the visibility and condition of the waistcoat:

1. Follow the washing and care instructions on the garment label.

2. Keep the fluorescent fabric and reflective panels clean.

3. Avoid cleaning products or methods that may damage the reflective material.

4. Inspect the waistcoat regularly for tears, fading or damaged tape.

5. Ensure the hook and loop fastening remains secure.

6. Replace the garment if its high-visibility performance is compromised.

Important: Dirt, excessive wear and damaged reflective tape can reduce the effectiveness of high-visibility clothing.
