Frequently Asked Questions

Do You Offer ANSI Class 2 Shirts?

Yes, we offer ANSI Class 2 shirts, which are high-visibility garments that ensure worker safety through enhanced visibility. We also offer ANSI Class 3 shirts and non-ANSI shirts.

What are the Different ANSI Classifications for Hi-Vis Safety Shirts?

ANSI Class 2 hi-vis safety shirts offer moderate visibility, requiring at least 775 square inches of background material and 201 square inches of retroreflective material. This type of apparel is suitable for workers near traffic moving at speeds of 25 mph or more, such as road construction workers, survey crews, and utility workers. 

ANSI Class 3 hi-vis safety shirts provide high visibility, with at least 1240 square inches of background material and 310 square inches of retroreflective material. It is intended for workers in high-risk environments exposed to high-speed traffic, complex backgrounds, and inclement weather conditions, such as highway construction workers, flaggers, and emergency responders. 

Non-ANSI hi-vis safety shirts vary in visibility and do not meet the ANSI/ISEA 107 standards. Such apparel can be used in low-risk environments or for tasks that do not require high-visibility protection, like general indoor work, warehouse operations, or casual use.
