CAN/CSA Z96-15 Canadian Standard for High Visibility Safety Apparel

CAN/CSA Z96-15 describes the requirements for high visibility apparel for Canadian workers to be seen by vehicle operators, especially in low-light conditions or darkness. CSA lists three classes of garments based on body coverage provided.

CLASS 2 apparel has full coverage of the upper torso(front, back, sides and over the shoulders). Stripes/bands shall be composed of retro-reflective or combined performance materials, and are to be displayed to ensure 360°visibility.

CLASS 3 apparel provides the greatest body coverage and visibility. Apparel meets the same requirements as Class 2 with the addition of bands around both arms and legs.
