You might be better to look at running type jackets etc. as these all tend to have Scotchlite reflective piping on them.

Hi-Viz jackets etc. are all manufactured to various EN standards regarding the amount and placement of the reflective hi-viz material so you might be hard placed to find one that is only piping within the standard catalogues produced by the likes of Arco etc.

Keith,

I assume that you have identified during a risk assessment process that the subject workwear is low-visibility. Consequently, you feel that it has the potential to contribute to harming your staff during their visits. BSEN471 seems to be the guiding provision in classification of visibility clothing. However, for local reasons you appear to seek to improve that visibility without going into BSEN471 classification standards.

You appear to have a conflict of interest. May I suggest that you review your risk assessment and determine whether you can support the case for a low visibility cosmetic option. If not, I suggest that you look at BSEN471's classifications, select a suitable dress style from the vast range now available on the web and amend your safety case accordingly.
