What are the requirements for matching jacket overalls and color reflective strips for sanitation workers?

Sanitation workers shuttle through traffic every day, and their safety touches everyone's heart. Equipped with jacket work clothes for sanitation workers, the design of reflective strips is directly related to life safety. Today we will talk about, what are the hard requirements of reflective strips?

? Reflective strip color: fluorescent yellow-green is preferred

According to the national standard GB 20653 "Protective Clothing, Occupational High Visibility Warning Clothing", the color of the reflective strip of the sanitation worker's jacket is clearly specified. The combination of fluorescent yellow-green and silver-gray is the most common, and it is also the best choice for night visibility.

The fluorescent yellow-green base color can form a strong visual contrast during the day, and the silver-gray reflective strip can reflect a dazzling light under the illumination of the headlights. The combination of the two allows drivers to detect someone in front of them in advance, day and night.

⚠️ Attention: Reflective strips should not use red or blue as the main color, as these colors are easily confused with traffic lights at night, which can increase the danger.

? Reflective strip width and area: not less than 50mm

The width of the reflective strip directly determines the viewing distance. According to the standard, the width of the reflective strip should not be less than 50mm, that is, 5cm. Too narrow reflective strips are almost invisible at long distances and do not serve as a warning.

At the same time, the area of the reflective strip is also required. For a qualified sanitation jacket, the total area of the reflective strip should not be less than 0.2 square meters. Usually a wraparound or segmented design is carried out on the chest, back, arms and trouser legs.

Shenzhen Yasenman Garment Co., Ltd. strictly enforces this standard when producing sanitation jackets to ensure that the width and area of the reflective strips of each piece of clothing meet the standards, so that sanitation workers can wear them with peace of mind.

? Reflective strip position: 360 degrees without dead ends

Reflective strips are not just a few. The correct approach is a 360-degree surround design that allows sanitation workers to be seen from any angle.

Common locations include:

- Lateral chest reflector

- Longitudinal reflective strip on the back

- Arm wrap reflective strip

- Reflective strips around the legs

Especially the back, it is recommended to use an "X" or "Shu" type design, so that it looks like a humanoid silhouette from a distance, and the driver can recognize it at a glance.

Shenzhen Yasenman Apparel Co., Ltd. optimizes the layout of reflective strips according to ergonomic principles, which not only ensures safety but also does not affect the flexibility of activities.

? Reflective strip weather resistance: still bright after washing

Sanitation workers work outdoors all year round, and jackets must withstand wind, sun and rain. Reflective strips must pass the washing test, and generally require washing more than 25 times to still maintain the reflective effect.

Inferior reflective strips fall off or darken after a few washes, which is equivalent to white clothing. Shenzhen Yasenman Garment Co., Ltd. uses high-quality reflective materials and has been strictly tested to ensure that the reflective strips are still bright as new after multiple washes.

✅ So just to sum up.

Equip sanitation workers with jacket work clothes and reflective strips to meet:

- Color: fluorescent yellow-green + silver gray

- Width: ≥ 50mm

- Area: ≥ 0.2 m2

- Location: 360 degree surround

- Weather resistance: wash more than 25 times

Safety is no small matter. A qualified reflective jacket is the most personal "amulet" for sanitation workers. Shenzhen Yasenman Garment Co., Ltd. focuses on customizing outdoor work clothes and carefully protects the safety of every city beautician.
