Talk:High-visibility clothing

message: It appears that recent changes to the above-named section have somewhat garbled it. Unfortunately I am currently on a tablet and cannot feasibility fix the issues. Mikek999 (talk) 04:03, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  Application for rail workers in the United Kingdom 

message: Had a (brief) look for articles on the cultural part of wearing high visibility clothing and didn't really find anything of interest. When travelling to the UK, it appears that the high vis jackets offer some sort of uniformity. That by approaching or being approached by a person wearing these clothes you get treated in a certain way regardless of locations and occupation.  
Has this been studied?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.251.227.26 (talk) 08:18, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

message: Blaze orange is a common name for the shade of orange used. Is there another name for the "florescent yellow" such as pictured in this article? Something that rolls off of the tongue easier, and not so tricky to spell? --Elijah 18:17, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: There is an article for safety orange (the same as blaze orange); I don't know if a specific article exists for the fluorescent lime green color also common for high-visibility safety gear marketed to hunters, construction workers, bicyclists, police, and others who are active outdoors and are at risk from other humans who operate firearms, heavy equipment, and/or motor vehicles. But if I find such an article, I will add a link to it. --Teratornis 06:17, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, I found the article: Chartreuse yellow which seems to be the name for this color. --Teratornis 06:27, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks, and thanks for the link on my talk page, or it might be another year before I found your response. Another name, but for me at least, not one easier to spell. :^( --Elijah 19:26, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Color names 

message: I expanded , adding sections about users, motorcyclist and bicyclist safety, and standards. Things left to do:
* There is no suitable Wikipedia article to link ISEA (International Safety Equipment Organization) to; the existing ISEA article refers to a different organization, and needs disambiguation.
* Look up information on the BS EN 471:2003 standard (High-visibility warning clothing for professional use. Test methods and requirements) and write a summary.
* Improve the summaries for the ANSI standards. At least now the article points out that such standards exist.
* It seems the various standards bodies are not government agencies, and thus they may tend to be information hoarders. For example, ISEA charges cash money for copies of the ANSI/ISEA 107-2004 standard, although numerous summaries are available from various sources on the World Wide Web. It guess not everyone understands yet that information wants to be free.
* Try to find some actual studies on the effectiveness of high-visibility clothing for bicyclists and hunters.
* Reorganize the current lead section, which is a bit scattershot currently. Some material could move to proper sections lower in the page.

thread_title:  Expanding the article 

message: The Hurt report recommended Hi-vis clothing as a possible method of reducing SMIDSY (Sorry Mate I Didn't See You) incidents, in the intervening years hi vis has become more common, but there has been no drastic reduction in SMIDSY incidents. The NZ study was published, with the caveat that riders voluntarily wearing hi-vis clothing were likely to be more safety conscious than riders not wearing it.
"Riders wearing high visibility clothing and white helmets are likely to be more safety conscious than other riders" (Wells et al. BMJ 328 : 857 doi: 10.1136/bmj.37984.574757.EE)
France has made hi-vis compulsory, but have not released any findings to demonstrate a reduction in collisions since its introduction.

message: "Area reflective fabric has proven to be the most effective way of outlining the body, so that drivers can distinguish a human shape at night".  Does anyone know of any sources that address this idea?    Motorcycle safety (talk) 18:33, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
