Reflective Apparel Factory makes OSHA/ANSI compliant clothing, has what look like pretty competitive prices – and takes the trouble to explain most of the OSHA/ANSI standards on its website. We’re not sure whether the rules apply – but here in New York, I’ve had a number of conversations about the failure of delivered-food restaurants to give their delivery workes (usually on bicycles, or mopeds) reflective clothing and fit the vehicles and foodcontaners with Reflexite or Scotchlite. My guess is that those workers don’t have a lot of bargaining power to spare.
Back to RAF – as we try to provide more information about responder gear characteristics, performance, and pricing, we’ll have more to say. But Reflective Apparel Factory seems a good resource. They’ll sell single units, don’t engage in the dodge of declining to post prices – a practice, which while legal, should give purchasers pause – and the prices seem quite reasonable, and the range of garments and sizes pretty good. Certainly worth a look for anyone planning a CERT or SAR team.
