March 10, 2023 Night Safety - Its Important to Be Bright and Be Seen.
It is important to wear high-visibility clothing when working at night because it helps to increase your visibility and reduces the risk of accidents. When you work in low-light conditions, such as at night or in areas with poor lighting, it can be difficult for others to see you, especially if you are wearing dark-coloured clothing. High-visibility clothing is designed to reflect light, making you more visible to others. This is particularly important if you work near moving vehicles or machinery, as it can help drivers or operators to see you from a distance and avoid collisions. Wearing high-visibility clothing is also often a legal requirement in many industries, including construction, transportation, and utilities. Employers are responsible for providing their workers with appropriate protective gear, including high-visibility clothing, to ensure their safety on the job. Overall, wearing high-visibility clothing when working at night is crucial for your safety and can help to prevent accidents and injuries.
