New Safety Apparel Regulation

I was recently informed of a new Safety Apparel Regulation effective November 24, 2008, federal mandate, 23 CFR 634. This mandate states *” All workers within the right-of-way of a Federal-aid highway who are exposed either to traffic (vehicles using the highway for purpose of travel)or construction equipment within the work area shall wear hi-visibility safety apparel.” *
As I understand this regulation it effects any workers on foot within the right-of-way of federal-aid highway: construction, survey crews, first responders, law enforcement and tow truck drivers are effected to name a few.
This is how the FHWA defines Hi-Visibility Safety Apparel, it is intended to stand out during both daytime and nighttime usage which meets the requirements of ANSI/ISEA 107-2004 performance class 2 or 3. ANSI/ISEA requires that class 2 has at least 775 square inches of hi-vis and the fluorescent background must be at least 201 square inches of reflective material.
This regulation effects many workers on federal-aid highways and those whom do not adhere to the mandate could face costly fines from OSHA.
The good news is CoTradeCo offers numerous safety vest that are compliant with the 23 CFR 634 ruling. If you are not ready for this regulation please see our Jackson Safety line of safety vest. Trader Dan has done a lot of research on this regulation and is willing to assist with quick info and assistance.
If you would like more info on the new safety apparel regulation please contact us and we can get you a copy of the official mandate.
I just commented on another post regarding this same regulation. Though I would include a link to it here as well as to the resource pages with the actual regulations .
