What is ANSI/ISEA 1107-2004?
ANSI/ISEA 107-2004 is a voluntary consensus standard for high visibility safety apparel. Until the publication of ANSI 107, there was no uniform authorative guide for the design performance specifications and use of high-visibility and reflective apparel in the United States. ANSI 107 represents what the industry and users view as necessary to adequately protect workers from the hazards associated with low visibility.
Does OSHA know about ANSI 107? What is their position?
In its regulation 29CFR 1926.651(d)) OSHA sets forth requirements for workers exposed to vehicular traffic OSHA states that "employees exposed to public vehicular traffic shall be provided with, and shall wear, warning vest or suitable garments marked with or made of reflectorized or high-visibility material." OSHA refers to ANSI/ISEA 107-2004 as a way for employers to comply with the requirement to provide enhanced visibility garments.
In addition, under the OSHA General Duty Clause (29 CFR 1903 1) OSHA requires that every employer furnish "employment and a place of employment which are free from recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm..."
