The history of the safety vest

The high visibility vest or safety vest is a high visibility garment, considered as personal protective equipment (PPE), intended to improve the visibility of any person moving along the roadway in a dangerous situation or on a construction site.

The safety vest is fluorescent. It is equipped with 2 to 4 retroreflective strips, generally of micro ball technology. It must comply with current ISO 20471: 2013 regulations. From July 1, 1992 to October 1, 2013, the standard to be observed was the European standard EN 471 which resulted from Directive 89/686 / EEC of the Council of the European Union of December 21, 1989, on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to personal protective equipment. This was a so-called “new approach” economic directive, which laid down essential health and safety requirements. If the French road safety communication campaign featuring the couturier Karl Lagerfeld emphasized the fluorescent yellow colored vest, the safety vests can be of different colors (yellow, red or orange). The Italians, for example, demand that these vests be colored… green, orange or red, forgetting the yellow.

The history of the Blouse

The blouse is above all a work garment. This one has undergone many modifications over time. It was the industrial revolution that gave rise to work clothing aimed primarily at the safety of workers in the manufacturing sector. In the nineteenth century the color blue symbolized the color of the working class, hierarchical superiors or office managers distinguishing themselves from workers by wearing a white or gray blouse. It was at this time that the notion of "overalls" appeared. The introduction of new machines in factories will lead to many accidents and traditional clothing will become a tool of protection. Certain sectors will therefore innovate in this area, especially in large production environments, such as the steel industry, construction, etc. The first clothes were made of cotton, which was heavy and washable. Since then, manufacturers have opted for a lighter fabric, such as polyester or synthetic, which is easily washable. Today, work clothing and the blouse also have the function, in many cases, of distinguishing between professions. Their ports have extended to other sectors of activity to meet their new needs: representation of a company or brand image, employee recognition and recognition of their belonging to the company. In all cases, work clothing is part of the reality of work and can lead an employer or an employee to question its inherent cost or the justification for making it compulsory. manufacturers have opted for a lighter fabric, such as polyester or synthetic, which is easily washable.
