  25. Ditto, its not like were not already obvious to the public, truck & chipper on the road, loads of noise, if they miss that i dont think a hi vis will help in normal circumstances. as for up a tree, dont see the need my self, your normally out of the way so even if people can see you easier they still cant/ or need to do anything about it as already said. Although one good thing about wearing hi vis is that poeple can cleary see your working and generally respect what you ask them to do, as in stopping traffic or explaaining what were doing
