Every year there are almost 3 million workplace injuries across the country, they range in severity but many could be prevented altogether by implementing just a few more safety measures. One of the easiest ways to increase safety is wearing safety vests.


Workplace safety clothing can often be overlooked in many situations because employers don't have a clear vision of how these simple additions could benefit their company.


Safety vests aren't just for construction sites (though they are important there too!), we've created a guide to the top seven benefits wearing safety vests will bring to your job site!


1. HIGH VISIBILITY


The most obvious benefit of wearing workplace safety clothing is the increased visibility it gives employees. Each piece of clothing is made of bright colors and has added reflective accents that help employees be seen from long distances.


This is helpful for those working in high-traffic areas so every driver can see them as they move closer. But it also helps you to keep track of employees on a large work site as you can pinpoint their vests even when not close. It also helps each employee be more aware of their surroundings and other coworkers.


Bright colors of safety vests are easily identifiable, making every employee safer when they wear them.

2. EASILY IDENTIFIABLE TO EVERYONE


It's not often that you see someone wearing a safety vest out and about in their leisure time. They have a reputation of being used by professionals who are on the job and are, therefore, taken very seriously.


A safety vest acts as a kind of badge to show professionalism and easily identify who is working on the site.


There are also safety vest features that can help visitors know who can help them with their specific requests. Name tags or job titles can be added to the vests to help identify team members and responsibilities. It's a quick way to make sure everyone knows who each other is and how they can help.


3. PROMOTES SAFE PRACTICE MINDSET


There is something to be said for getting your whole company into a mindset of safety and following the correct protocols to avoid problems and accidents. A lot of building safety is trying to keep it at the forefront of every employee's mind.


When everyone is wearing these extra clothing pieces, it helps to create a safe work environment.


Every time one of these vests is seen it's a reminder that there are dangerous aspects around and that everyone needs to be extra cautious as they perform their tasks. The unspoken reminder can do wonders for creating habits and routines that are without issue.


4. HELPS EXTEND WORKABLE HOURS


For some projects, it just feels like there aren't enough hours in a day to get it done when you want it to. Especially in the winter when the sun seems to go down earlier and earlier. High visibility clothing can extend your work hours since employees can be seen in the darker conditions.


There's no need to sacrifice safety while continuing to work after the sun starts going down. Simply turn on lights to illuminate the work area and the reflective accents on the safety vests will do the rest!


Safety in darker conditions has to be the top priority, so making sure everyone is outfitted properly will go a long way to keep you on track for any project deadlines you're working towards.
