High visibility (or hi-vis) gloves are a special kind of glove made specifically for their visibility due to the environment they’re used in. They are made with a fluorescent and retroreflective material and thus, emit light that makes them more visible and easy to use in high traffic situations, night time or dark workplaces like mines and such, rough weather conditions or job sites where workers must stand out from the background where they’re working. Hi-vis gloves are commonly available in fluorescent green, yellow and orange colours.

Why Are They Important?

As hi-vis work gloves glow in the dark, they are highly beneficial to be worn in low light environments to reduce the risk of injury or fatalities in hazardous conditions. Including gloves, all high visibility personal protective equipment are considered to be highly effective in workplaces as they are noticeable and prevent injuries.
