Abstract:

The increase in accidents involving personnel in construction and maintenance zones prompted a review of the use of high visibility safety garments. This review led to laboratory and field studies intended to identify those materials and garment designs that would enhance conspicuity. As a result, a modified version of the currently used orange, fluorescent vest enhanced with lime-yellow, reflective material was recommended for further study.
