Hi-viz

[TTMC]

You guys might think this is a stupid question, but what's the difference between the orange and yellow hi-viz colours?

Ones orange and the other is yellow???

As a basic rule, construction industry favour yellow, Railways favour Orange (I think thye would say orange only on railways)

No such thing as a silly question, just a silly answer

 

Seriously though, dont know any difference other than that railway guys tend to wear the orange and most others wear yellow.

I followed up with some sense as well!

Our guys working for highways all have to have orange trousers and yellow tops, they all look like they have been to a 90's rave!

Orange here, but thats just to match my wee Kubota Ride On. Yellow ones attract insects and in some glasshouses they are not allowed. Bit of random knowledge for you.

Haha a varied bunch of answers as always guys! Cheers

I think yellow is meant to show up better in the daytime and also in the urban environment, orange better at night/poor light and also in vegetation, hence railways requiring orange...

FTR we use Orange, just to match the chipper and saws etc. Lots of orange on site looks ok, and I dont want to look like we are tarmacing!
