What are Public Safety Vests?
Public Safety Vests are designed specifically for visibility and quick recognition of public service employees. Public Safety Vests that meet just ANSI/ISEA 207-2006 standards are designed for identification by color and labeling. Vests are fluorescent lime with colored background fabric specific to public safety groups, and reflective material for visibility. ANSI/ISEA 207-2006 public safety vests may include design options, such as breakaway, colored identifiers, loops, pockets, badge holders, mic-tabs, and ID panels; however, these features are only suggestions and not mandatory to the standard. Public Safety Vests that meet both ANSI/ISEA 107-2004 Class 2 and ANSI/ISEA 207-2006 standards are designed for both competing hazards and high visibility. Tear-away features prevent entanglement and snap up to accommodate weapons and equipment. Color specific checkered reflective tape provides identification by color and high visibility.
