PRODUCT PROFILE
national accounts manager at R&R Industries, adding HVSA was
added to the product line at the request of its customers.
" One of our customers that was a national account specifically
requested anti-static safety vests for their fuelers, " she adds. " That
is when we developed an ANSI Class II Anti-Static Safety Vest. "
R&R Industries' HVSA is manufactured to standards established
by the American National Safety Institute (ANSI).
Per the ANSI, high-visibility safety apparel provides visibility
during day or night, which is vital in hazardous conditions or where
threats may be present. The standard takes into effect the color of
the clothing, retroreflection and the recommended configuration
of the materials, among others.
R&R Industries' Type R HVSA is designed for occupational use
in proximity to roadways.
" Type R HVSA provides daytime and nighttime visual conspicuity
enhancement for workers in occupational environments, which
include exposure to traffic, vehicles using the highway for purposes
of travel, from public access highway rights-of-way or roadway
temporary traffic control (TTC) zones, or from work vehicles and
construction equipment within a roadway temporary traffic control
(TTC) zone, " officials at R&R Industries note.
" The Type R designation includes multiple Classes of HVSA.
Examples of pedestrian workers intended for this HVSA Type
may include all the workers required
to comply with United States Federal
Regulations on worker visibility in the
Manual on Uniform Traffic Control
Devices (MUTCD), who are operating on
or near public access roadways, " company
officials add.
" If fueling, customers should confirm
the correct clothing, shoes and vest are
being used, " Hardwegg advises.
In addition to visibility benefits, safety
apparel provides personnel comfort and
safety in various climates and weather
conditions.
Hi-Visibility Apparel can require specific
care. But officials at R&R Industries
say the tag in each item of clothing explains
all necessary cleaning requirements.
Because of the harsh environments
in which HVSA is utilized, the average
lifespan of a piece of clothing can fluctuate
between 3-6 months. Hardwegg notes
R&R Industries offers a 1-year warranty
for workmanship, as well as customization.
" We do all of the decoration, screen printing,
embroidery, heat transfer in our building, "
she explains. " We are able to keep the integrity of companies' logos. "
As an added convenience for customers, website stores allow
safety managers to place orders for HVSA whenever it is needed.
To complement its apparel offerings, R&R Industries also provides
related safety gear, including marshalling wands, thermometers,
gloves, masks, ear protection, goggles and whistles.
