scope:

This Standard specifies the visual requirements for high visibility safety garments for occupational wear by people who may be exposed to the hazard of moving traffic, moving plant or equipment in high risk situations. The Standard covers garments suitable for daytime wear, night-time wear where they will be seen by retroreflected light or for wear under both conditions but excludes garments for use by fire services.

NOTES:

1This Standard covers only the visual requirements of garments. It does not cover their physical integrity or fitness for use in adverse physical environments.

2 Requirements for firefighters' garments are specified in AS/NZS 4602.2*.

3 A Standard for garments to be used in lower risk applications was under consideration at the time of publication of this Standard.

* Yet to be prepared at time of publication of this Standard.
