High-visibility vests are a common item on almost any construction site. They’re worn by everyone from construction managers to technicians to general laborers. 

High-visibility safety vests are made of a highly reflective material that makes workers more visible to passing cars, pedestrians, and other vehicles. For the most part, high-visibility vests consist of bright yellow or orange material with black lettering. 

While orange is the most common color, construction managers sometimes select yellow to provide a different look and feel to a site. The bright colors are designed to catch the eyes of passersby and provide greater visibility in low-light or night-time conditions.
