Overview

In working environments where lighting can range from well illuminated to low-light or dark, visibility of the worker can mean the difference between safety and workplace injuries, even fatalities. The third edition of CSA Z96 High-Visibility Safety Apparel focuses on the performance of retroreflective and background materials and their visibility under both well illuminated and darker working environments. It incorporates advice on selection, use, and care of high-visibility safety material and includes recommendations for hazard assessments.
