With winter soon upon us and the days becoming ever shorter, now's the ideal time to focus on your workwear - particularly if you have a job that requires working long hours outside or working unsociable hours. The dark nights make it imperative to invest in hi-visibility outerwear - for your own safety. Without it, you'll pose great risks to your own safety, as well as that of others around you. You have to be seen to stay safe and our range of hi-visibility safety clothing can help you do just that. Read on for your hi-vis product checklist.

Wear a brightly coloured polo shirt to ensure that you are clearly visible to drivers, cyclists and other pedestrians while you work. Its reflective strips will help to keep you safe morning and night.

Like the polo shirt, a pair of hi-visibility trousers should be worn over your usual work trousers when working outside during the winter. Whether you'll be working at ground level or at great heights, it's essential that you can be seen by those around you. Your job is dangerous enough without putting your safety at risk by not making yourself visible.

If you'd rather wear your own waterproof, insulated jacket while on the job, you can ensure you're visible to others with the help of a hi-vis waistcoat. If you're happy to wear hi-visibility clothing in place of a coat, take advantage of our hi-visibility bomber jacket. It'll help to keep the wind off while you work, while ensuring you r safety is at maximum level.

Why do I need to wear hi-vis clothing?
Similarly to hard hats and safety boots, hi-visibility clothing works as another safety garment to keep you accident-free while at work. Whether you work in construction, as an attendant, or in any other job requiring you to work outside at all hours of the day, hi-visibility clothing ensures that everyone around you can see you.

This is especially important given the time of year, when it is likely to get dark earlier in the evening and stay dark for longer in the morning. Often those who work outside are required to work anti-social hours, which means that during the winter, you are likely to be working outside when it is dark. The reflective strips and bright yellow colour of hi-visibility clothing is there to ensure you remain safe, while being able to get on with your work.
