Growing Important of Workforce Safety Measures and High Visibility Safety Apparel (HSVA)
Workplace safety refers to the standards set at a working environment of a company and encompasses all factors that impact employees’ safety, health, and well-being. Accidents and casualties are becoming more common in workplaces where low visibility is an issue. Low visibility is a common issue on transportation, roadways, construction sites, oil & gas industries, firefighters, law enforcement agencies, mining sites, etc. Workers with no protective equipment are more likely to have accidents, injuries, and casualties as they are not easily spotted by the people operating heavy machinery. Moreover, millions of workers are susceptible to strikes and run over dangers while working near traffic and construction machinery. The significance of workforce safety measures is increasing at a frightening rate due to the rising number of workplace accidents caused by poor visibility.
High visibility safety clothing is made of a fluorescent colored base designed to be highly visible. It also has strips or bands of retro reflective textiles intended to reflect light to the source when light strikes the textile. Retro reflective textiles are the materials that reflect light to their source. These retro reflectors are being used for safety purposes in different end-user industries such as construction, mining, infrastructure, textile, and automobile. These reflectors are used on signboards, apparel for personnel, and vehicles used in the construction sites at construction sites. Also, growing traffic safety systems are prominent factors for the need for retro reflective technologies. These materials can be used as traffic signboards, markings, and temporary traffic control applications. Thus, the growing importance of workplace safety and high-visibility apparel in different work settings is crucially driving the growth of the global retro reflective textiles market.
