Posted By Dave Merchant Nothing about high-vis in law, but it's the usual PUWER and MHSW risk-assessment system. A few job-specific cases such as working on public highways, banksmen etc. exist but there's no reason someone plastering a corridor should be wearing a high-vis jacket, unless they're filming The Shining. [bonus points for the obscure tricycle joke]

Posted By patrick carr Hi Most of the construction companies i know of, make the wearing of Hi-Vis compulsory, and have it included in their H & S policies. However our policy is,that if you are working inside a house/building, you can remove your Hi-Vis,but there are numerous occasions where they forget to put them back on when back on-site. years ago, i was approached by a contracts manager, who wanted information from my union, on how we could combat the risks of skin cancer, one of my proposals was the wearing of Hi-Vis waistcoats at all times.Then we had the issue of the yellow Hi-Vis, attracting, corn flies in the summer months, so we switched to orange. (sorry rambling on).
