hi-v vests

[southsoundtree]

For safety, and looking professional, I have the orange with white and yellow stripe safety shirts for uniforms. When its cold and people have jackets, I have hi-vis yellow vests that are one size fits all with a velcro closure. They're cheap and small, easily fitting into a PPE bin. I think its a good idea, especially when the climber is wearing a mesh face screen like the Stihl Helmets, Bug eyes glasses, or there's eyeglass fogging conditions.

Benefit vs. Cost= very good, IMO.

Sorry guys , I wasn't watching this thread.
We use the break away when working on the highway.
The vest I wear for tree work is a forester's cruising vest.

We require the break away vests (Velcro) for all operations due to the potential risk of being caught when chipping.

Roger that, I don't chip.
It's chop and drop or get the contractor to haul it away.
