High Visibility Workwear
AS 4602.1-2024
This recently released standard details minimum garment design requirements for high visibility safety garments for high-risk applications, (firefighting ensemble design specification requirements are found in AS 4602.2).
Included in the updated standard are additional classification levels within each category designed to assist consumers with garment selection. Conspicuity increases through each level with the requirement for placement of additional retroreflective tapes loops.
Firefighting ensembles
Australian Standards, AS 4967:2019 – Wildland garments & AS/NZS 4824:2024 – Structural garments, specify minimum requirements for materials used in firefighter ensembles, with emphasis on safety for Australian conditions.
AWTA performs essential testing including thermal performance, flame resistance, heat resistance, innocuousness and assessment of garment design.
