Engineered for Performance

For industrial environments where static electricity and flame hazards pose a genuine risk, the Yoko Hi-Vis Anti-Static Flame Retardant Waistcoat is an indispensable piece of safety equipment. This garment is meticulously engineered to conform to a trio of critical safety standards: EN ISO 20471 Class 2 for high visibility, EN14116 for limited flame spread, and EN1149 for anti-static properties. The fabric incorporates a carbon pinstripe detail, which is the visual hallmark of its anti-static capability, dissipating electrostatic discharge that could otherwise ignite flammable vapours or damage sensitive electronic components. This technical specification makes it the ideal choice for petrochemical plants, fuel handling depots, and electronics manufacturing facilities. Despite its advanced protective qualities, it remains lightweight and durable, manufactured from recycled polyester to support sustainability initiatives. To ensure comprehensive protection, safety managers should ensure staff integrate with PPE protocols that include compatible anti-static footwear and undergarments.

Comfort & Workforce Utility

Safety gear is only effective if it is worn consistently, and this waistcoat is designed with workforce comfort in mind. The cut allows for unrestricted movement, essential for workers who are physically active throughout their shift. The tear release front closure provides a quick and safe method of removal, which is particularly important in hazardous environments where rapid undressing might be necessary in an emergency. The sleeveless design ensures that the vest does not contribute to heat stress, allowing it to be worn comfortably over flame-retardant coveralls or jackets. The reflective tape is positioned to ensure maximum visibility from all angles without interfering with the flexibility of the fabric. Available in key safety colours, it allows for clear identification of personnel while providing the specialised protection required for high-risk zones. It is a robust, practical garment that gives employees the confidence that they are protected against multiple workplace hazards.

Ideal Workplace Applications

• Petrochemical and oil refinery operations.
• Electronics manufacturing and assembly.
• Fuel transportation and logistics.

Corporate Branding & Compatibility

Even specialised safety wear can support your corporate identity. This waistcoat is suitable for specific printing techniques that do not compromise its anti-static or flame-retardant properties, allowing you to style alongside Hi-Vis Trousers for a unified, compliant, and professional team appearance.
