3M 14523 High-visibility Safety Vest Ansi Class 2 4XL Orange

Product Description

The 3M 14523 is a high-visibility safety vest designed for workers who require ANSI Class 2 conspicuity in moderate-traffic and roadway-adjacent environments. Constructed from 100 percent polyester mesh, the vest keeps wearers cool during physical labor while meeting the ANSI/SEA 107 standard for design, color, and reflectivity. Scotchlite reflective tape runs across the body to provide the retroreflective performance required by Class 2 classification. Hook-and-loop front closure allows quick donning and doffing. Two open waist pockets provide convenient storage for small tools or documents. This vest is sized for 4XL and is issued or specified by safety officers, site supervisors, and jobsite foremen across construction, utility, and transportation work zones.

This vest is suited for outdoor jobsites where workers are exposed to vehicular traffic or heavy equipment. Typical applications include highway construction, utility maintenance, parking and traffic control, and general contractor operations. The mesh construction is well matched to warm-weather or physically demanding work where airflow matters. It is commonly worn by flaggers, ground crews, and inspectors operating in areas governed by Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices visibility requirements.

Installation Notes

No tools are required to don this vest. Inspect reflective tape and mesh integrity before each use and remove from service if tape is peeling, cracked, or contaminated with materials that reduce reflectivity. Follow site-specific PPE policies and applicable OSHA 29 CFR 1926 high-visibility apparel requirements for the work zone type. Launder according to garment care instructions to maintain tape adhesion and fabric fluorescence.
