8、Foreword (This Foreword is not part of American National Standard ANSI/ISEA 207 -2011) ANSI/ISEA 207-2011 represents the second iteration of the consensus industry standard on high-visibility public safety vests. The document was first published in 2006 and developed with the understanding that comp

9、eting hazards exist for public safety employees who also need to be seen by vehicle operators. The need for such a document to address visibility as a hazard was identified by the National Traffic Incident Management Coalition (NTIMC), whose members represent the public safety industry and with whom

10、 ISEA worked closely to ensure that features important to the public safety sector are established. The 2009 revision to the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) mandated that workers in any roadway right-of-way wear high-visibility apparel, and allowed emergency/incident response and l

11、aw enforcement personnel in traffic control areas to wear ANSI/ISEA 207 compliant vests in lieu of garments compliant with and labeled to ANSI/ISEA 107, American National Standard for High-Visibility Safety Apparel and Headwear. This new edition of ANSI/ISEA 207 includes clarification and improvemen

12、ts related to designs incorporating identification panels, logos and lettering, which are important to the public service community. The revised standard also provides useful service life guidelines for high-visibility garments by incorporating those that have been established by the Federal Highway

13、 Administration. This revision was prepared by members of the High Visibility Products Group of the International Safety Equipment Association (ISEA). The following companies were members of the group at the time of the approval of the standard: 5.11 Tactical Apparel Avery Dennison Blauer Manufactur
