Which Roads and speed limits apply to each class of EN471 garment?
EN471 does not give information relating to specific roads or speed limits on which the different classes of garment should be worn. It states only that ‘Class 3 clothing offers greater conspicuity against most urban and rural backgrounds than class 2 garments which in turn are significantly superior to Class 1 clothing’. This implies that the employer should carry out a risk assessment of the working environment in accordance with PPE regulations, and assign the class of garment offering the most appropriate level of protection.
