Requirements for high-visibility clothing in Sweden are governed by the Work Environment Authority’s regulations on personal protective equipment. As an employer, you are responsible for providing suitable hi-vis garments when risk assessments indicate a danger of accidents due to poor visibility.
Garments must be certified according to EN ISO 20471 and adapted to the specific work environment.
Dirt and wear reduce the visibility and reflective performance of hi-vis garments. Always wash them inside out and avoid detergents with optical brighteners and fabric softeners. Regularly check that reflective strips are not damaged or heavily soiled.
Always follow the care instructions provided with the garment to maintain certification.
We help you understand certifications, protection classes, and material choices.
