Flame Retardant Hi Vis Vest FAQs

What is a flame retardant hi vis vest?

A flame retardant hi vis vest is a high visibility garment designed for workplaces where relevant FR or flame-resistant clothing requirements may apply as well as visibility requirements. The exact performance and certification depend on the individual garment.

Can I use a standard hi vis vest instead of an FR vest?

Not where the workplace risk assessment, employer policy or site rules require a garment with specific flame-retardant or flame-resistant properties. A standard hi vis vest should not be assumed to provide the same performance as a certified FR garment.

Are flame retardant hi vis vests worn on their own?

They may form part of a wider PPE or protective clothing system. The correct combination of garments depends on the task, environment, risk assessment and standards required by the workplace.

Are FR hi vis vests suitable for rail work?

Can FR hi vis vests include contractor names or role text?

Yes. Where suitable branding areas are available, garments can include company names, contractor identification, department names, job roles or other workplace text.

Where protective clothing certification is critical, the product specification and approved branding method should be checked carefully.

Can I order flame retardant hi vis vests in bulk?

Yes. FR hi vis vests can be ordered for small specialist teams or larger workforce requirements across utilities, infrastructure, engineering, maintenance and contractor operations.

Is there a minimum order for customised FR hi vis vests?
