ANSI/ISEA 107-2015 COMPLIANT SAFETY GARMENTS ARE CLASSIFIED AS FOLLOWS:

Parking/Service location workers • Warehousing • Oil & Gas extraction workers • Refinery workers • Mining
TYPE R CLASS 2 GARMENTS – intended for use by personnel exposed to vehicular traffic from public access rights of way or roadway temporary traffic control zones.

TYPE R CLASS 3 GARMENTS – intended for use by personnel exposed to vehicular traffic from public access rights of way or roadway temporary traffic control zones. Class 3 garments mandate an even higher standard of visibility for workers in moving, complex backgrounds.

SUPPLEMENTAL CLASS E GARMENTS – pants, bib overalls, shorts and gaiters meeting minimum area requirements for background material and retroreflective trim.
