Important

High-visibility safety garments do not last forever — especially in dirty, dusty, or high-abrasion environments. Garments in poor condition do not provide effective protection and can pose a risk to the wearer.

If your team’s vests are faded, cracked, or dirty beyond recognition, the reflective value is gone. That’s not safe — and it’s not compliant.

Australian Standards define how many wash cycles a garment can handle before its safety performance declines. If you’re unsure about the condition or lifespan of your RFA gear, contact us directly.
