The Reason For The Orange T Shirt
The orange t-shirt has been around for a long time and has for the same amount of time been associated with safety. It has mostly been utilized in industries such as construction, road works and places where high visibility is required. The requirement is for safety which has been laid down by law. It benefits the safety of the workers by making them clearly visible in dangerous situations.
It has gone through many changes to this day. The changes referred to are the materials from which it is made. It is work-men’s (and women’s) gear and has therefore been in the business of catering to that need. It needs to be tough and durable and in many instances it needs to have reflective elements. Many manufacturers also have different types of materials they use for the t-shirts as well as the safety vest.
Many manufacturers use different types of material. However, the most recent developed material has become quite popular and most comfortable, which is main idea. It caters for the long hours of work which leads to a lot of sweating. The moisture wicked material helps to keep the worker dry, cool (in summer) and warm (in winter). It simply keeps the sweat away from the body and thus ensures that the body does not overheat or freezes.
The t-shirts are special as they come with the reflective strips as required by law. These are especially required when you work in an area with high traffic density. Safety orange is often the better choice as it has a higher visibility. It also ensures a greater safety for the wearer.
Both of these elements are in line with the ANSI Class 2 and 3 laws for safety vests. The difference between the class 2 and 3 is the number of reflective bands. The class 2 has two reflective bands running down from the shoulders with one horizontal band and the class 3 has two horizontal bands. The latter is just another means of making the worker more visible and is therefore required for places where more visibility is necessary.
However, because of cost, there is the normal variety available which is made from breathable polyester material. It will, however, not have the same results. It would therefore be important to layer the body when the normal t-shirt is worn (not forgetting the safety vest).
These do come in different styles and long or short sleeves. The long sleeved ones normally have reflective tape on the sleeves as well. If the t-shirt does not have these reflective tapes, make sure you wear your reflective vest over it. This is to protect yourself in your dangerous place of work.
The safety t shirts has made its place in the hazardous industries because it is a clearly a visible color. The person wearing these might also feel more secure that they will be seen with the t-shirts as well as the safety vest.
