A traffic high-visibility vest helps improve workers’ visibility among moving vehicles, especially when working at night. Join Thien Bang to learn more about this essential safety vest.
Why is a high-visibility vest an “inseparable companion” for traffic workers?
With vehicles speeding along highways and construction sites operating through the night, traffic workers face potential risks every second:
- Working close to hazardous traffic environments: Roads often have a constant flow of vehicles traveling at high speeds, especially on national highways, expressways and overpasses.
- Working day and night: Construction, traffic control and road management often take place at night, in the early morning or during adverse weather conditions such as heavy rain, fog and dusty environments.
- Limited visibility: Truck, container truck and car drivers may have difficulty seeing workers at night due to blind spots, glare from headlights or reduced visibility.
For this reason, a traffic high-visibility vest plays an important role in making workers more visible from a distance. Its reflective strips bounce light from vehicle headlights back toward drivers, helping workers stand out in low-light conditions and allowing drivers to recognize work zones earlier, slow down and maintain a safe distance.
Technical standards for traffic high-visibility vests
- Reflective strips: At least 5 cm (50 mm) wide, typically made of silver/gray reflective material that reflects vehicle headlights.
- Background fabric: Uses high-visibility fabric, commonly fluorescent yellow, yellow-green or fluorescent orange; materials may include polyester, mesh or khaki fabric.
- Area & placement: Reflective strips should be properly positioned around the vest to improve visibility from multiple directions.
- Standards: ISO 20471 and ANSI/ISEA 107 are two widely recognized international standards; in Vietnam, the applicable TCVN/QCVN should be considered based on the specific vest and working environment.

Tips for saving costs when buying traffic high-visibility vests for businesses
To optimize the budget while maintaining safety for workers, traffic-related businesses can apply the following practical tips:
- Buy directly from the original manufacturer: Eliminate intermediary costs by ordering directly from the factory, such as Thien Bang, to access competitive factory pricing.
- Place bulk orders for projects: Plan purchases for the entire project or on a quarterly/annual basis to benefit from better discounts on larger orders.
- Take advantage of all-in-one logo printing: Choose a manufacturer that provides direct logo printing or embroidery to avoid additional costs from external services while strengthening project brand recognition.
- Choose flexible one-size designs: Prioritize vests with Velcro straps or adjustable closures that can fit different workers, helping reduce inventory and the cost of custom sizing.
