Can anybody point me to a PPE supplier who can provide lightweight hivis boiler suits for our maintenance team. We have only been able to source outdoor hivis wear but these are too heavy especially in the summer

many thanks

I have tried to find disposable (tyvek) Hi-Vis boiler suits on a number of occasions. The answer is nobody makes them. All you I could get was Hi-Vis poly/cotton or Hi-Vis waterproof oil skin type.

Not sure if I'm allowed to post a link to a company that manufactures the poly/cotton type so I'll email it direct.

A google search for EN471 class 3 and overalls will return a few results. Assuming you are looking for these for highways work?

thanks for the response - I look forwards to your email.

My application is factory based - our team have to work in all areas including hivis required. Hence the question

thanks

Is a boiler suit and hi-vis waistcoat unsuitable?

I had suggested that the hivis vest and boiler suit be the solution but there are times when working on machinery so prefer to avoid any risk of loose clothing getting caught up - thanks for the help though
