If your workers are doing a great deal of work outdoors this winter you should see to that that you provide them with high visibility jackets and safety glasses. It is especially essential that your employees wear this gear if they are working on or near roadways.
Ice and snow are dangerous and if vehicles are traveling at a good rate of speed in poor weather conditions, your workers will be seen by drivers when they are wearing high visibility jackets. If they have safety glasses on, their eyes will be protected from flying debris such as road salt and stones as well as by dirt and other airborne particles.
The best quality high visibility jackets are very bright colored in yellow or orange and feature reflective strips which catch the light from approaching vehicles’ headlights. There are many different options available in linings inside high visibility jackets and some provide more warmth than others. You will have to determine what type of linings are best for the weather conditions and shop around to see what different manufacturers offer. You also should shop around for safety glasses as there are many styles to choose from so first determine your needs and then consider doing some basic comparison shopping online so you can find a supplier to use which has what you need at fair prices.
