High Visibility Workwear Guide
Understanding High Visibility Workwear
Learn more about high visibility workwear, Day/Night garments and the features to consider when selecting a safety jacket for your workplace.
What Is High Visibility Workwear?
High visibility workwear is designed to help workers remain conspicuous in their working environment. High visibility garments use fluorescent colours and retroreflective materials to increase the visual contrast between the wearer and their surroundings.
High visibility clothing can be particularly important in workplaces where workers operate around vehicles, mobile plant, machinery, traffic or other hazards where being seen is an important consideration.
The garment should be selected according to the workplace, task and visibility requirements identified by the employer.
What Does Day/Night Visibility Mean?
Day/Night high visibility garments are designed for use across both daytime and reduced-light conditions. They combine high visibility materials with retroreflective elements intended to help the wearer remain conspicuous when lighting conditions change.
This makes Day/Night garments relevant to workplaces where workers may operate during daylight, early morning, evening or other lower-light conditions.
Individual garments can have different visibility classifications, so always check the product specifications and garment labelling for the particular jacket.
What Is Reflective Tape Used For?
Retroreflective material is designed to return light towards its source. On high visibility workwear, reflective elements can help make the wearer more noticeable when illuminated by vehicle headlights or other light sources.
Reflective tape is used as part of the overall garment design and does not, by itself, determine whether a garment meets a particular high visibility standard. The garment's materials, design, configuration and applicable compliance requirements all need to be considered.
How Do I Choose the Right Safety Jacket?
Start with the requirements of the workplace and the conditions in which the jacket will be worn. Consider the required visibility classification, weather conditions, temperature, work activity and any additional protective characteristics required for the task.
Brahma's range includes waterproof, water-resistant, insulated, soft shell and 2-in-1 jacket designs, allowing different styles to be considered for different working conditions.
Always check the individual product specifications, garment labelling and compliance documentation before selecting a jacket for a specific workplace requirement.

Which safety jacket is best for cold weather?
Brahma offers a range of jackets designed for colder working conditions, including insulated, lined, soft shell and multi-layer 2-in-1 and 4-in-1 styles.
The right choice depends on the temperature, weather conditions, work activity and level of warmth required. Compare the individual product features to select a jacket suited to your workplace.
What is the difference between a 2-in-1 and 4-in-1 safety jacket?
2-in-1 and 4-in-1 jackets provide multiple wearing configurations, allowing the garment to be adapted to different conditions or work requirements.
The exact configurations vary between products. Refer to the individual jacket's product description to see which components can be removed, separated or worn in different combinations.
How do I choose the correct size?
Use the Brahma Fitting Guide to compare your measurements with the available garment sizing before ordering.
For jackets worn over other clothing, consider how the garment will be layered and allow sufficient room for comfortable movement while maintaining a suitable fit.
Where can I check the standards for a specific Brahma jacket?
Standards and compliance information is product-specific. Check the individual product page, garment labelling and available compliance documentation for the jacket you are considering.
Brahma's high visibility range includes products with different documented standards and classifications. The applicable requirements should therefore be confirmed for the individual garment before workplace selection.
