Married to Hi Vis

Would you believe that the first hi vis garment was a wedding dress?

The co-creator of high visibility fluorescent paint first put it to use on a garment using his wife’s wedding dress. Bob Switzer suffered an accident that damaged his vision in 1930 and, with the shared interest of his brother Joe, began experimenting with fluorescent chemicals to pass the time.

Fluorescence was something he could see clearly while following doctor’s orders to recover in the dark.

The pastime became a passion and the Switzer Brothers eventually founded what is now the world’s largest and most renown manufacturer of fluorescent pigments in the world, Day-Glo® Corporation.

While the immediate benefit of hi vis clothing and products was seen in World War II, saving soldiers from friendly fire, it is commonly used today in all areas of occupational safety.

Originating with what was probably history’s brightest wedding dress, High Visibility clothing now outfits workers all over the world, identifying them as people in hazardous work conditions such as inclement weather.

Kind of puts the “I Do” in wearing PPE!

Women and PPE

Differences in average body dimensions make finding Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) more difficult for women than their male counterparts.

OSHA cites the lack of a full-range PPE line for women—as well as employers’ limited knowledge of PPE designed for women—may account for some of the difficulties.

To add, OSHA states another issue women face with finding appropriately-fitting PPE is the low number of women in industries requiring it. According to OSHA, in 2010 only about 9% of workers [roughly 818,000 in the construction industry] were women.

Further, PPE gear advertised as “unisex” may or may not be appropriate for female workers, as items like gloves need to fit appropriately or wearing them can cause a separate hazard altogether.

The good news is options in PPE apparel for women are growing. Manufacturers have begun designing PPE gear specifically to fit women.

OSHA mandates via section 1910.132(d)(1)(iii) that employers are to select PPE that properly fits each affected employee. [Note: Non-mandatory Appendix B contains an example of procedures that would comply with the requirement for a hazard assessment.]

A great example of how PPE apparel is evolving can be seen in FR garments designed specifically for women. This FR gear is designed to be comfortable, form-fitting and protective, while accommodating the difference in female body dimensions. Safety Smart Gear offers an array of FR gear for women and our product line is only growing!
