I am trying to source suppliers of high visibility ballistic trousers (side protection panel for use by refuse crews). I would appreciate any pointers as I am having touble with suppliers providing hi-viz.

Peter,
At the risk of giving free advertisement, I have found the range of Snickers workwear to be very good. see www.snickers.se or contact your local supplier.
Regards
Brendan

At the risk of appearing daft, why not get the workwear and get a local small business who do alterations and zips etc to machine on the High Vis pannels? That way you get the clothing you want.

Peter,
Nice to know some councils bother.
My local binmen seem to have no PPE whatsoever.

Jim,
is it they dont have it or just the Bin crews choose not to wear it?

Jim,
We have it, they wear it, no option, no PPE, no job. In fact we have introduced additional PPE for recycling rounds where the handling task is greater and have a city wide policy to reduce manual handling especially in refuse collection. The lastest bin man orientated scheme is Hep B and Tetanus innoculations.
I have now now sourced a manufacturer to make these trousers for us in one off runs. Not cheap as far as stock levels go, but we get our orange high visibility tousers with a ballistic side panel.
