Visibly visible
Your eyes need lots of light to work well. So if you want to be seen in the dark, it's best that you shine. High visibility (“hi-vis”) clothing helps do that by reflecting light to help others see you, even in low-level lighting. Sometimes it even glows in daylight.
Engineered for safety
Here are just some of the ways hi-vis clothing is designed to protect you:
- Mesh materials make hi-vis clothing light weight and breathable, for comfort in hot weather.
- Millions of super-small beads or prisms reflect light from a source (like a car headlight) back toward that light.
- Some fabrics fluoresce (glow or appear brighter) in daylight.
How to protect yourself
- Wear hi-vis clothing, especially when you are around vehicles.
- Keep hi-vis clothing clean. Dirt reduces its ability to reflect light and/or fluoresce.

Remember, whether you’re at work, school, or home, staying safe is your most important job. If you see something unsafe, you have a right and responsibility to do something and talk to your supervisor, teacher, or parent about it.
