Built for AIIMS Structures

The Australasian Inter-service Incident Management System (AIIMS) depends on instant visual role clarity across every function on site—Incident Controller, Operations, Planning, Logistics, Safety, Liaison, Public Information, and supporting agency roles.

RF armbands, tabards, and hats are designed for that exact environment: fast deployment, high visibility, and clear role recognition under pressure.

When conditions are active, there is no time to interpret. Identification must be immediate.

WHAT WE MANUFACTURES

Reflective Fabrications manufactures a full range of AIIMS-compatible role identification products. Not sourced offshore and definitely not assembled from imported components.


Armbands

  • Armbands are produced as one-piece, over-the-head panels with side fastening, typically hook-and-loop, cut and sewn in Melbourne for durability in active field conditions and repeated deployment.
  • Designed for ease of wear, comfort, and unrestricted movement, ideal for emergency and incident use over PPE and operational outerwear.
  • In-house screen printing for clear role titles, agency identifiers, and division markings, ensuring consistent visibility across multi-agency deployments.
  • Built to sit cleanly over uniforms and withstand real-world operational wear.
  • Built to sit cleanly over uniforms and withstand real-world operational wear.

Cotton Tabards

  • Practical identification for personnel who need to be identifiable without changing clothing, manufactured at Clayton South for rapid identification in incident response and training environments.
  • Practical identification for personnel who need to be identifiable without changing clothing, manufactured at Clayton South for rapid identification in incident response and training environments.
  • Available in standard AIIMS role colours, with full customisation for agency structures and multi-agency coordination systems.
  • Options include screen printing or heat-applied branding, with reflective detailing available for low-light and night operations.

Caps

  • Role-identified caps for environments where hard hats are not required, with clear printed identification and optional reflective detailing. Suited to outdoor events, marshalling, and lower-risk incident management roles.
  • Available with custom printing or embroidery to align with AIIMS role structures or organisational identification systems.

Hard Hat Markers

  • Reflective identification panels and stickers for sites where hard hats are already in use, providing the same role clarity without replacing existing headwear. Suited to construction sites, civil infrastructure, and high-risk environments where a hard hat is already worn, and role identification still needs to be clear.
  • Available with custom printing to align with AIIMS role structures or organisational identification systems.

AIIMS Colour Alignment

RF produces AIIMS role identification gear in standard convention colours, with the ability to match agency-specific configurations where required.

Common role classifications supported include:

  • Incident controller
  • Operations
  • Planning
  • Logistics
  • Finance
  • Safety officer
  • Liaison officer
  • Public information officer
  • Agency-defined functions

Custom colour matching is available for jurisdictional or organisational requirements.

Customisation Without Delay

Everything is manufactured in-house in Melbourne. That means direct control over production, colour accuracy, and turnaround times.

  • Role titles screen-printed directly onto fabric
  • Agency logos applied via screen print or heat transfer
  • Reflective lettering available for night operations
  • Low minimums for trials, exercises, and pilot deployments
  • Rapid turnaround for activations and planned incidents

If requirements change, production changes with it without waiting on offshore supply chains or container lead times.

Field-Tested Supply Capability

RF has supplied Australian emergency and incident management agencies for over 30 years. Our products are used across multi-agency deployments, emergency operations centres, field command environments, and planned exercises where AIIMS structures are active.

Designed for operational clarity. Built for repeat field use. Made to meet the demands of real incident environments.
