What the AI looks for in Safety Shirts
- ANSI/ISEA 107 class
- Class 3 requires sleeves and enough material, while short-sleeve shirts are usually Class 2. The class sets how visible you are and how much fluorescent and reflective material the shirt has.
- Flame resistance
- For arc or flash-fire hazards, use shirts with an arc rating or NFPA 2112 certification. Polyester hi-vis can melt in a flash.
- Fabric breathability
- For hot climates, choose moisture-wicking birdseye mesh. Uncomfortable shirts get removed on the job.
Brands that matter
- Radians: Value hi-vis shirts.
- ML Kishigo: Hi-vis apparel range.
- Lapco: Flame-resistant work shirts.
- Red Kap: Durable work shirts.
What to avoid
- Bright-coloured shirts with no ANSI class marked.
- Polyester hi-vis for electrical arc exposure.
