Accidents include pedestrians being struck by forklift trucks or reversing lorries whose drivers are unaware of the presence or movements of pedestrians in their vicinity. In the winter months daylight hours are reduced increasing the hours spent working in the dark. Also worsening weather conditions such as mist and fog can decrease visibility in any working environment increasing the importance of being seen and staying safe. Hi-Vis clothing is a simple, cost-effective way to improve the visibility of people 24 hours a day. The fluorescent material of Hi-Vis garments provides daytime visibility, while the reflective bands around the chest, arms or legs of garments provides night-time reflectivity. The use of EN ISO compliant, Hi-Vis clothing will improve the visibility of your employees and reduce the risk of them being struck by a moving vehicle. The widest range of Hi-Vis Hazardwear to suit your budget Arco has one of the most comprehensive ranges of Hi-Vis hazardwear on the market. We offer a full selection of garments, including those developed for use in specific specialist environments including workwear, weather protection, flame resistant (FR) and GO/RT approved hazardwear. We offer a variety of garments so that whatever environment your employees are working in we will have a choice of garments for you to choose from. Branded Workwear and Hazardwear We are able to offer a branding service that includes all elements of the process from design concept right through to delivery. A full heat-sealing (transfer) service is offered, which is particularly suitable for hazardwear such as Hi-Vis waistcoats or jackets, and can also be used on selected items of workwear. Our specialist technical advisors will work closely with you to ensure that you choose the most appropriate solution for your fabric or membrane. Quality and Product Assurance As the UK s leading safety experts, all of the hazardwear in this Expert Guide has been independently tested to the highest quality standards. We also have our own, in house, SATRA accredited Product Assurance Laboratory where we test garments to recognised EN standards, to ensure they are fit for purpose. Source: Arco Limited.

3 Arco Quality and Product Assurance Our customers tell us that product quality is one of the most important factors of our service, they want to feel totally assured that the products we supply will keep their people safe. With our core purpose to keep people safe at work we are committed to delivering high quality, safe and reliable products which meet or exceed our customers expectations. To demonstrate this we have invested heavily and are now the first safety distributor to have our own, in house, independently accredited Product Assurance Laboratory. Colourfastness EN ISO 105 C06:2010 Tests for colour A Gyrowash is used to evaluate colour fastness to washing, dry cleaning and chlorinated water of textile and leather samples. Appearance and Shrinkage EN ISO 6330:2012 Domestic washing and drying procedures for textile testing A Wascator, is used to determine shrinkage and appearance after washing. A Wascator is a standardised European washing machine which has long since established itself as the standard reference washing machine for textile laboratories. Testing: Hi-Vis Clothing The Arco Product Assurance laboratory can undertake testing of Hi-Vis clothing to EN ISO 20471:2013 High visibility warning clothing for professional use. All highvisibility clothing products have to incorporate both fluorescent and retro-reflective materials. Performance specifications are given for chromaticity and luminance and also for retro-reflection as well as for the minimum areas and the placement of the materials. Chromaticity and Luminance EN ISO Determination of colour A spectrophotometer is used to test a piece of material from the background fabric of hi-visibility clothing for chromaticity (colour) and luminance (brightness). Retro-Reflection EN ISO Determination of retro-reflective performance A photo-goniometer is used to test the retro-reflective properties of a material such as the tape which is applied to hi-visibility clothing. We have an agreement to test retroreflection in conjunction with an independent test house. Arco Clothing Centre (ACC) The ACC is a 60,000 square foot unit in Fulwood, Lancashire and the biggest garment decoration centre of its kind in the UK. The scale of the operation means Arco has the stock and production capacity to handle large orders quickly. We supply some of the UK s best known blue chip companies with corporate decorated clothing and deliver over 9,000 brand applications on 7,500 garments each day. First Class Service We are able to offer a branding service that includes all elements of the process from design concept right through to delivery. This innovative approach reduces costs and saves time, ensuring competitive pricing and the very best quality, consistency of service and delivery options to suit you. Our fast turnaround begins with orders being input into our system, which delivers them straight to the ACC. We hold a large stock of garments, enabling work to start as soon as orders arrive. Our service promise is to despatch all embroidery orders up to 500 garments five days after receipt of order, although a fast-track-next-day service is always available. For larger orders, we require up to nine days. In the past 12 months, we have despatched 99.2% of all order lines on time. Quality Assurance The site is accredited to ISO 9001 Quality Management Systems. We have a full-time onsite QC Team Leader responsible for managing our quality process. Our Quality Assurance checks are thorough, with every item being quality checked before despatch, represented by a returns rate of only 0.05%.

We will ensure that you choose the most appropriate solution for your fabric or membrane so that your garments will retain adherence to and technical safety standards such as flame resistance or performance attributes such as waterproof properties. Embroidery We can embroider any corporate identity whether simple or complex in design onto a wide range of clothing. Garments can also be personalised with the wearer s name. State-of-the-art technology has the ability to stitch a large number of different colours, producing striking, intricate work to a very high standard. Heat Sealing A full heat-sealing (transfer) service is also offered, particularly suitable for hazardwear such as hi-vis waistcoats or jackets, and can also be used on selected items of workwear. Wearer Packing Service We make it easy for businesses to maintain a corporate identity by putting together a set of workwear for each employee as part of its bespoke wearer packaging service. We work with businesses to identify what workwear is required; branded workwear can be efficiently ordered online. Once the order is received, we put together a personalised package for an employee based on individual requirements and sizes. All decorated garments, plus any additional items, are specifically packed for the employee, fully labelled and sent directly to the individual wearer or department.

4 EN Standards for Hi-Vis Clothing EN ISO 20471:2013 High-Visibility Clothing Test Methods and Requirements Professional clothing must withstand the tough environments in which they are used. High-visibility garments can be manufactured from different types of materials and these materials must be sufficiently robust to withstand real life working conditions. The test for the above standard includes six main areas: Colour Fastness Colour Measurement Dimensional Stability Tape Testing Garment Assessment Chemistry Testing EN 471 x y ISO x Whereas EN 471 comprised two values (X: risk class and Y: quality of the reflective strip), the new standard only considers the X value. As only the highest quality of reflective strip is permitted, the Y value does not appear on the ISO pictogram. EN 471 only prescribed the number of times the reflective material could be washed; ISO also does this for the fluorescent material. EN 471 High Visibility Clothing EN 471 sets the minimum standards of visual performance and durability needed for high visibility clothing worn in the workplace. Compliance with BS EN 471 ensures that the wearer is as visible as possible against varying backgrounds in all weather and lighting conditions (bright daylight as well as rain, mist, dusk and night-time) and that a garment s conspicuity and structural integrity are retained over a reasonable service life in a workwear application. There are three classes of garment based on the conspicuity levels they provide. All garments must have reflective tape not less than 50mm. Class three The highest level of conspicuity Minimum background material 0.80m 2 Minimum retro reflective material 0.20m 2 Class two Intermediate protection Minimum background material 0.50m 2 Minimum retro-reflective material 0.13m 2 Class one Low level protection Minimum background material 0.14m 2 Minimum retro reflective material 0.10m 2 Protection against Rain EN 343:2007 Protection against Rain Waterproofness and water vapour permeability are the main requirements for waterproof clothing materials. Waterproofness relates to water coming through the protective clothing materials from the outside (e. g. Due to rain, fog, snow). Water vapour permeability (usually called breathability") describes the physical capacity of the material to allow water vapour, sweat etc. to escape from the inside to the outside. EN 343:2007 also contains requirements concerning the tensile strength, tear strength, seam strength and dimensional change resistance of the material: The mechanical strength requirements, i.e. the tensile, tear and seam strengths, apply in each case to the outer layer of material used to make the protective garment for laminated fabrics, to all layers that are firmly attached to the outer material. EN 14360:2004 for Protective Clothing against Rain Suitable protection against bad weather conditions is one of the central functions of protective clothing. This European standard defines test conditions under which readymade garments are exposed to heavy rain, and it is a positive addition to EN343. EN 14360:2004 creates a basis on which the waterproofness of rain-protective clothing can be tested throughout the EU under appropriate practical conditions. Impermeability to rain is an important characteristic that is tested on the complete garment in order to test in particular its constructional design characteristics. To do so, a stationary test mannequin is exposed to artificial rain. EN applies to the testing of jackets, trousers, coats and one or two piece suits. Flame Resistant (FR) EN ISO 11612:2008 Protective Clothing to Protect against Heat and Flame This standard specifies performance requirements for garments made from flexible materials, which are designed to protect the wearer s body (except the hands) from heat and/or flame. EN ISO 14116:2008 Protective Clothing to Protect against Heat and Flame Limited Flame Spread This standard specifies the performance requirements for the limited flame spread properties of materials and protective clothing in order to reduce the possibility of the clothing burning and itself constituting a hazard

5 Maintaining Long-Term Visibility Arco GORE-TEX Hazardwear It is essential to maintain the cleanliness of high visibility garments. If high visibility garments are dirty the visibility will be compromised therefore frequent cleaning is best to maintain high visibility. Often hi-visibility garments are issued on a seasonal basis. These garments when first purchased will meet the standards specified, designed and certified to in accordance to the manufacturers instruction. However, consideration should be taken to the maintenance of the garments. During the lifetime of the products dirt, oil and grease, will frequently come into contact with the fabric. If the garments are not adequately washed and cleaned there is the potential that the garments, when required to protect in low levels of light, no longer work to the desired effect. Care and attention should be paid to ensuring that wearers understand the reasons for wearing the protective clothing, and why the background conspicuous material and retro reflective tape help provide additional visibility in different lighting situations. Arco and Gore have worked together to build world-class functional products. Arco GORE-TEX Hazardwear garments have been designed with the industrial user in mind and will keep the wearer dry and comfortable in real working situations throughout the lifetime of the garment. Arco GORE-TEX Hazardwear has been engineered to keep the wearer dry and comfortable, whilst being long lasting and durable even in the most challenging conditions. Productivity and effectiveness studies Studies have shown that greater comfort helps concentration and thus increased effectiveness and productivity. If a worker s body temperature gets too high or too low they will be distracted which increases the risk of accidents. Care Instructions for GORE-TEX Garments Arco hazardwear engineered with GORE-TEX Fabrics can be washed at 60 C while maintaining durable waterproofness, and colour fastness. The GORE-SEAM Tape technology has also been formulated to withstand numerous washes. The cleaner the garment, the better it will breathe. Pay attention to the care instructions on your garment. Wash at 40 or 60 degrees with a soft detergent, do not use softener. Rinse it twice if possible. Dry the garments by tumble-drying or by ironing. Use low temperature when tumble drying. The heat actually helps reactivate the surface treatment. Do not bleach your garments. To remove a stubborn stain, test a small hidden area with a commercial stain remover before using it on a place that shows. You may find certain stains have to be removed professionally. Rinse well. Each garment will have specific care instructions printed on the garment label: these will need to be reviewed before garments are laundered.
