Road work: professionals with high-visibility clothing

Those who work on the roads need high-visibility clothing

Working on the roads to pave, do various types of maintenance or to come to the aid of those who have been involved in an accident is certainly a heavy commitment. One works in the open air suffering the cold in winter and the heat in summer, rain and snow, the vento and the sun, and for this one needs to have appropriate work clothes.

In addition to the discomfort of working outdoors, however, there is also the real risk of not being seen by cars and trucks passing by the road we are working on, especially if we are operating at night or on a foggy day. That is why it is so important for those who work on the roads to wear high-visibility workwear such as U-Power's Hi Light range/assortment.

U-Power always strives to provide those who work with proper protective clothing, from safety shoes to thermal caps, and could not help but also think about those who need high-visibility workwear to be able to operate safely on the roads or in other contexts.

That's why our Hi Light range/assortment of workwear was nated, offering workwear for all seasons and climates with visibility characteristics that comply with the European regulation/standard governing this matter.

2. HI LIGHT WORK CLOTHES FOR WINTER




3. HIGH VISIBILITY EVEN IN SUMMER WITH HI LIGHT

Let's see how U-Power 's Hi Light range/assortment is suitable for those who work on the roads.

THE EUROPEAN STANDARD ON HIGH VISIBILITY FOR THOSE WORKING ON THE ROADS

The European regulation/standard BS EN ISO 20471:2013/A1:2016 (UNI EN ISO 20471:2017) was written to give precise rules onhigh-visibility workwear(see also our previous article) that must be used specifically by certain categories of workers including, certainly, those who work on roads.

The danger for those who work outdoors and, in particular, on roads and highways is that of not being seen by oncoming vehicles, either during the day due to fog or heavy rain, or at night due to darkness. For this reason, the UNI EN ISO 20471:2017 standard provides for two elements that guarantee visibility: yellow or orange fluorescent fabric that guarantees visibility during the day and reflective bands that, on the other hand, allow one to be seen at night in the light of headlights.

The regulations/standards are, fortunately, clear: all that is left for us at U-Power to do is to apply them to provide those who work on the roads with high-visibility work clothes that protect them in every situation.

HI LIGHT WORK CLOTHES FOR WINTER

In theHi Light range/assortment of high-visibility work wear produced by U-Power, we find a range of garments that are suitable not only to make those working on the roads easily visible to oncoming vehicles, but also to protect them from the cold and rain.

A warm and comfortable pair of pants, with lots of pockets for work tools, and also highly visible is perfect for those who have to work in winter on the roads, and if you have this need you can see our Radiant style with a pre-washed flannel inner lining or the Beacon with its reinforced structure.

To withstand the harsh temperatures of the winter season, however, you also need a jacket, again a high-visibility one. In our Hi Light range/assortment you can find the Gleam style that matches the Beacon pants or the Miky windproof hooded jacket with convenient cell phone pocket on the chest.

Then if you want maximum protection from cold, rain and snow, you can combine the rainproof and breathableBacker parka with the Subu pants.

HIGH VISIBILITY EVEN IN SUMMER WITH HI LIGHT

However,hi-visibility protection should not be neglected even in summer when, because of the good weather and warmth, people are likely to underestimate it in order to dress lighter and less visible.

Instead, it is very important that those who work on the roads are protected to the fullest and are fully visible even during the summer months by wearing two high-visibility garments as recommended by European regulations/standards.

We can start with theLight work pants , which offer convenient pockets and high visibility in a light, breathable fabric suitable for hot climates, and which match perfectly with theSmart vests , with concealed badge holder and convenient cell phone pocket.

To work comfortable and dry even in summer, with the security of high-visibility workwear, we can also wear reflective T-shirts, such as our Glitter that provides breathability and lightness, or theShine high-visibility polo shirt in stretch fabric with sweatband.

For every season you'll find the righthigh-visibility workwear in U-Power's Hi Light range/assortment.
