Hi-vis uniforms are often associated with working in freezing weather conditions when it’s wet or snowing. Once the hot weather hits people often forget about the importance of a high-vis uniform. In certain jobs, workers are exposed to conditions where visibility is extremely difficult. Some of these professions include construction workers, emergency responders, heavy-duty equipment handlers, and security personnel. On sunny days in the peak of Summer, it is equally as important to wear hi-vis clothes. The brightness of the sun on a clear day can be just as hazardous as an overcast day. Blinding lights can become a problem for motorists as these lights can cause dangerous reflections making it difficult for them to see. At Westland, we specialise in hi-vis workwear including hi-vis polo shirts and other workwear that is ideal for working through Summer. 

On a boiling day, it can be extremely uncomfortable to wear long jackets to increase your visibility.

There is nothing trickier than working on a complicated project while the sun is reflecting off the roads causing a glare, making it difficult to see your co-workers. Wearing your hi-vis uniform means you’ll be seen even in the most difficult conditions. Not only will you be able to stay visible to your team, but you’ll also be able to be seen by pedestrians, and oncoming traffic. This is particularly important if you are working close to busy roads with heavy traffic. Whether you’re a project manager, site manager, construction worker, or someone who works outdoors, shop our range of hi-vis clothing and safety equipment to Keep yourself protected.
