Viz Reflectives N.A. announces next generation safety gear
Develops first vest to automatically illuminate when moving from light to dark
Viz Reflectives North America has announced the creation of a new, technically advanced, high visibility garment that does what no other ANSI certified safety gear does – automatically emits a bright glow as the wearer moves from light to low light or dark spaces.
Sold under the brand name Alpha Workwear, the Viz Reflectives N.A. safety vests provide three levels of protection for workers. Like all ANSI certified vests on the market, they use florescent fabrics to stand out in daylight and reflective tape that becomes visible when a light source, like a headlight, shines on it. But Alpha Workwear adds a third level of protection – phosphorescence -- a formulation of pigments that quickly absorbs energy from natural or artificial UV Light and slowly emits that light for up to 8 hours.
