Hi all.

I am looking for a supplier of Velcro-fastening reflective tape to attach to workwear. Does anyone know where it can be purchased from? The staff wear hi-vis jackets but we want to fix a couple of reflective strips to the lower part of their trousers.
Thank you in anticipation of your help.

Why noy purchase Hi viz trousers, can see it now got knocked over because couldn't be seen as sticky reflective tape fell of, Think reasonably practicable so far as etc may be of use here in persuading the bean counters to part with the cash, probably more expensive to purchase tape and then management time etc to ensure it stays on!

Dont waste your time.
I don't know the size of your organisation but.... have a similar problem to resolve.
We currently use Hi-Viz vests to be worn over the overalls. These are kept in satelaite stores and sell very well I suspect at car boots. We get through plenty.
Do a cost analysis and decide whether or not to have the reflective strips incorporated into the workwear.
Consider the payback time.

Hi Adrian

I actually agree with the previous comments; however, if you wish to contact:-

PHS BeSafe on 01702 333344 and talk directly to the Sales Counter, they specialise in providing exactly the type of clothing provision suggested and also in clothing modifications such as you identify.

Also via www.besafe.co.uk and sales@besafe.co.uk but not as good as talking it through with "the man".

No, I don't work for them - they've been extremely helpful in providing me some specialist PPE at very short notice - I wuz impressed!
