Safety Vest FAQs
What is the difference between ANSI Class 2 and Class 3 safety vests?
Class 2 vests provide enhanced visibility for workers in environments where vehicles travel up to 50 mph—typical for road construction, parking lots, and utility work. Class 3 vests provide the highest visibility with additional retroreflective material on the torso and sleeves, required when vehicles travel above 50 mph or in complex traffic environments. Browse our safety vests to compare classes.
Are safety vests required by OSHA?
OSHA 1926.201 requires high-visibility warning garments for workers in or near traffic control zones and roadway operations. FHWA also mandates ANSI Class 2 or Class 3 vests for all workers in federal-aid highway work zones. Many state OSHA plans extend these requirements to other industries. Always check applicable standards for your work environment.
Can I wash my safety vest?
Most safety vests are machine washable, but repeated washing can degrade retroreflective tape over time. Follow manufacturer care instructions and inspect the vest after washing for reflective tape peeling or color fading. Replace your vest when it no longer meets ANSI 107 reflective material standards.

Do you carry safety vests with pockets for tools and equipment?
Yes. CSP Forestry stocks surveyor-style and contractor vests with multiple pockets for phones, radios, measuring tools, and other equipment, all while meeting ANSI Class 2 and Class 3 visibility standards.
