Safety Vest Regulation --
On November 24th there was a Federal
regulation that went into place requiring workers along Federally
funded roadways to have safety vests that meet ANSI/ISEA 107-2004
Class 2 garment standards. The FHWA is applying this rule to all
workers whether they are paid or volunteer. This standard requires:
Fluorescent fabric, 201 in.2 of retro-reflective trim, 775 in.2 of
fluorescent background material, 360 degree visibility, and some
form of closure clasp in the front.
