Hi-vis vests: compliance and practical selection

High-visibility vests are a requirement in a range of transport and construction environments. For HGV drivers required to exit the vehicle at delivery points, service areas, or roadside locations, a hi-vis vest is a fundamental piece of safety kit. The specific EN ISO 20471 class required depends on the working environment and proximity to traffic.

Fort hi-vis vests provide Class 2 visibility requirements under EN ISO 20471 — appropriate for most road-adjacent working environments at speeds up to 60kph. Check whether your specific working environment requires Class 2 or Class 3 before selecting.

Hi-vis vests are designed to be worn over outer clothing, not under it. The retro-reflective tape must be visible to drivers and equipment operators for the garment to function as intended.

For working environments that require full-body high-visibility coverage, a hi-vis jacket rather than a vest provides the required Class 3 coverage. The vest covers the torso only and meets Class 2 requirements.

Frequently asked questions

What EN ISO 20471 class is a standard hi-vis vest?

Most standard hi-vis vests meet Class 2 under EN ISO 20471. Class 2 garments provide background material and retro-reflective tape coverage appropriate for working near traffic at speeds up to approximately 60kph.

Do HGV drivers need to carry a hi-vis vest?

In the UK there is no specific legal requirement for HGV drivers to carry a hi-vis vest, but wearing one when exiting the vehicle on a motorway or dual carriageway is standard safe practice. Some fleet operators mandate hi-vis vest carriage as a company policy.

Can hi-vis vests be washed?

Yes. Fort hi-vis vests are machine washable. Repeated washing at high temperatures can degrade the retro-reflective tape's performance. Replace hi-vis vests when the reflective strips show visible cracking or peeling.

What is the difference between a hi-vis vest and a hi-vis jacket?

A hi-vis vest covers the torso only and typically meets Class 2 visibility requirements. A hi-vis jacket provides full sleeve coverage and can meet Class 3 requirements.
