These vests are not only important article of work wear, but can be effectively used by bicyclists and runners during poor visibility situations like night time runs or rides. It’s extremely important to be seen in low visibility situations, especially in roadways or sidewalks with high traffic. A safety vest can be designed and fabricated from many different types of material, and are most commonly made out of Polycotton or Polyester since these materials keep you cool and comfortable.

How Should a First Aid Vest Fit?

Getting the right fit on the first aid vest is important for making sure the vest functions correctly and doesn’t present a safety hazard. The vest shouldn’t be excessively tight. A vest that isn’t comfortable to wear is less likely to be worn and can present a dangerous distraction.

Ø  The vest shouldn’t be so large that it gets caught on objects. An oversized vest can become a serious caught-in hazard even if it’s equipped with a breakaway.

Ø   Employers should provide appropriately sized safety vests for workers who need larger- or smaller-sized vests.

Ø  Safety vests should be made from a breathable material, especially when working in a hot climate. 

Ø   Look for a breathable polyester mesh that allows air to circulate while you’re working.

The fact that the first aid vests are lightweight and sleeveless is going to mean that the worker can fully move around freely and will not be restricted in any way. If your safety vest isn’t equipped with features that you think are required for your job function, talk to your supervisors and take a look at your employee safety manual. Like a seatbelt, a safety vest will only fulfil its purpose when it’s worn properly and consistently. By following the tips we’ve talked about here, your safety vest will be more likely to do what it’s designed to do.
