Reflective clothing is widely used in multiple industries due to its significant safety protection function, but there are also many differences in its application due to different working environments and requirements in various industries.
In the traffic management industry, reflective clothing for traffic police often uses fluorescent yellow or fluorescent orange as the base color, with a large area of high gloss reflective strips covering the surface and designed with eye-catching warning signs. Traffic police often command traffic in the center of the road. Faced with a continuous stream of vehicles, this type of clothing can attract attention through high saturation colors during the day. At night or in adverse weather conditions, reflective strips can reflect light back to the light source, allowing drivers to clearly recognize the location and gestures of traffic police from a distance of 100 meters, ensuring safe and efficient traffic command.
In the construction industry, workers’ reflective clothing places more emphasis on durability and functionality. Clothing materials are mostly sturdy canvas or wear-resistant synthetic fibers, and reflective strips are designed in key areas such as cuffs, hem, and pants legs. There are numerous machinery and frequent personnel exchanges on construction sites, and workers shuttle through complex environments. Although the distribution of reflective strips is not as dense as that of traffic police clothing, through reasonable layout, it can still ensure that workers can be clearly seen from different angles and lighting conditions, reducing the risk of being hit or accidentally stepped on by machinery.
Reflective clothing in the environmental sanitation industry focuses on practicality and comfort. Sanitation workers often work in the early morning or evening, with dim lighting. Their clothing is also made of high gloss reflective materials, and the design is more in line with daily activity needs, emphasizing breathability and lightness. Reflective clothing can help passing vehicles avoid cleaning operations on roads with high traffic flow, ensuring the safety of sanitation workers.
Overall, although reflective clothing varies in design details and material selection across different industries, they all play an irreplaceable role in their respective fields with the core goal of improving personnel visibility and ensuring operational safety.
