Hi Vis Safety Apparel for County & Municipal Public Works

Seen on streets, water lines, parks and plow routes.

County and city public works crews do a little of everything: street and sidewalk repair, water and sewer work, parks, fleet maintenance and snow removal, much of it in the roadway. We outfit public works departments with ANSI Class 2 and Class 3 shirts, vests, rain gear and winter layers, decorated with your city or county seal.

What to look for in public works hi vis

  • Class 2 or Class 3 in the right-of-way. Workers in the roadway generally need ANSI Class 2 or Class 3 garments; many departments standardize on Class 3 for night and high-speed work.
  • Gear for every season. Breathable tees and cooling gear for summer; waterproof jackets, bibs and insulated bombers for storms and plow season.
  • Vests that fit the job. Breakaway vests near equipment; multi-pocket surveyor vests for inspectors and supervisors.
  • One look across divisions. Matching decorated gear for streets, water, parks and fleet keeps the department recognizable to the public.
