Hi Vis Safety Backpacks & PPE Gear

Why hi-vis matters on Australian worksites

High-visibility gear is part of basic personal protective equipment (PPE) on many jobs where workers are exposed to moving vehicles, plant or forklifts. Hi-vis clothing is recognised as PPE under Australian WHS guidance, and businesses must provide suitable PPE where it is needed and maintain it in good working order.

Hi-vis backpacks do not replace certified hi-vis shirts, vests or jackets, but they help:

• Keep your profile visible from behind when a backpack covers much of your hi-vis vest or shirt.
• Make supervisors, spotters and first responders easier to pick out in a crowd.
• Turn your PPE and first-aid kit into a clearly visible safety bag that stands out on roofs and in plant rooms.

Combined with proper hi-vis garments, helmets, boots and other PPE, these backpacks help workers meet their duty to take reasonable care for their own safety and the safety of others.
