ANSI 207 Safety Vests! Effective November 2008!

A new government regulation takes effect November 24, 2008 regarding your high visibility protection when working along the right-away of a federal-aid highway. The new ANSI 207 safety vest standard does not apply to pants, jackets or other high viz apparel, and does not apply to safety vests worn by construction and utility workers. According to Chief Supply, the breakthrough with ANSI 207 is that it specifies minimum performance and design requirements for safety vests to ensure appropriate visibility to moving vehicles while simultaneously minimizing interference with duty and gun belts.

The OccuNomix yellow public safety EMS vest (item # LUX-PSE) meets the new ANSI/ISEA 207-2006 regulation and has a breakaway design that prevents entanglement.
