WJ have enhanced their Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) surpassing standards required under the provision of PPE at Work Regulations 1992 and timed to coincide with the company rebranding. Now all WJ hi visibility clothing incorporates the latest VizLite Dual Technology for improved safety.
VizLite combines two technologies, retro-reflectivity and photo luminescence. Retro Reflective tape returns light to its source and Photo Luminescence crystals absorb UV energy that is then emitted as a light source in low light or zero light conditions.
The initial afterglow provides visibility of 1830mcd/lux/m2 with an extinction time for afterglow to diminish to 0.32mcd/lux/m2 or about 100 times limit of human perception is 480 minutes (8 hours).
The new safety garments are certified to meet the requirements of the Personal Protective Equipment Regulations 2002 and conform to international specifications for Hi Visibility Clothing EN ISO 20471: 2013.
WJ’s workforce has now been issued with newly branded and enhanced hi visibility garments incorporating this unique extra layer of safety as standard, giving the wearer 3 levels of protection – Fluorescence, Reflectivity and Phosphorescence.
Martin Webb WJ Group Operations Director states “This has been a huge investment for the company but unquestionably ‘safety’ is fundamental to sustainable delivery and a WJ core value”.
