Description
This flame-retardant hi-vis vest from Portwest is specially designed for professionals working in hazardous environments where both high visibility and heat protection are required. Thanks to the fluorescent fabric and reflective elements, you are always clearly visible to your colleagues. This makes the safety vest an essential part of everyday equipment in the industrial and railway sectors, where safety is always the top priority.
For which specific tasks and sectors is this flame-retardant hi-vis vest suitable?
This safety vest is ideal for work in the railway sector, petrochemical industry, and other industrial environments where exposure to heat, flames, and limited visibility poses risks.
The orange version fully complies with the strict RIS 3279-TOM standard specifically required for the British railway industry. Thanks to its flame-retardant properties, the garment provides crucial protection during brief contact with flames, while the bright colours and reflective bands ensure you stand out even in bad weather or darkness.
What do the EN ISO 14116 and EN ISO 20471 standards mean for this flame-retardant hi-vis vest?
The EN ISO 14116 Index 1 standard indicates that the material of this vest provides protection against limited flame spread, meaning the fabric will not easily ignite upon incidental contact with heat.
The EN ISO 20471 Class 2 standard represents a high level of visibility, meaning the vest is suitable for situations with an increased traffic risk. In addition, the vest is completely nickel- and iron-free, making it non-magnetic and safe to wear near sensitive equipment.
This lightweight vest has a generous fit that sits comfortably over regular workwear. The practical hook-and-loop fastening allows you to put it on and take it off quickly.
