Workwear differs for every profession; however, those professions where hazards are present in the work environment require employees to wear appropriate safety gear. Safety workwear Most safety workwear includes high visibility safety gear. This workwear is brightly coloured so that persons wearing the gear can be spotted easily both during the day and at night. Reflective gear allows workers to be visible from moving vehicles so that accidents can be prevented. Furthermore, in construction sites where heavy machinery is being operated, high visibility workwear is essential so that machine operators can see workers and avoid any kind of accidents.
