Hi-Vis Reflective Jackets in Class 2 and Class 3 fluorescent yellow or orange make workers visible to vehicle operators at construction sites, road works and night shifts — Multi Trade Combines stocks them in Guwahati, price on request.
High-visibility reflective jackets are the most fundamental piece of personal protective equipment for any worker operating near moving vehicles or in low-light conditions. The combination of fluorescent fabric — which appears extremely bright in daylight — and retro-reflective tape strips — which return vehicle headlight beams directly to the driver — creates a dual-mode visibility system that covers both daytime and night-time exposure. Without a hi-vis jacket, a worker in dark or dusty clothes can be nearly invisible to a vehicle driver until it is too late to stop.
Class 2 jackets are the standard for off-road site workers and warehouse pedestrian zones. Class 3 jackets provide the higher reflective coverage mandated for road-side construction, night-shift factory workers near forklift paths, and bridge inspection teams. Multi Trade Combines stocks both grades in standard sizes S through 3XL to cover India's diverse workforce sizing requirements.
Road construction contractors on Assam's expanding highway network — Bharat Mala Phase 1 projects, the NH 37 extension and Arunachal Pradesh border roads — must supply Class 3 jackets to every roadside worker under their safety plan. NHAI-supervised project sites undergo safety audits where hi-vis jacket compliance is checked against headcount. River dredging crews on the Brahmaputra use hi-vis jackets when working on barges and embankment sections. Night-shift workers at Numaligarh Refinery and Assam's paper mills wear hi-vis vests as part of their standard PPE kit.
A complete roadside safety PPE set pairs the hi-vis jacket with a safety helmet (IS 2925, which Multi Trade Combines stocks in several brands), safety shoes (steel-toe IS 15298), and safety goggles. For height work in the same road construction context, full-body harnesses and lanyards from our KARAM safety equipment range are required. Multi Trade Combines can supply a full contractor safety PPE kit from a single Guwahati order, simplifying logistics for project managers in remote Northeast locations.

More from our Safety Equipment range
Hi-vis visibility class is determined by the area of fluorescent background material and reflective tape. Class 2 jackets have a minimum 0.5 square metres of fluorescent material and two horizontal reflective bands on the torso — adequate for off-road construction sites and warehouse pedestrian areas. Class 3 adds shoulder straps, sleeves and more reflective tape, giving 360-degree visibility including from the side and rear, and is required for road workers where vehicles travel above 50 km/h under MOSRTH (Ministry of Road Transport) guidelines. Most infrastructure project specifications in Northeast India now mandate Class 3 for workers within 50 m of live traffic.
Our hi-vis jackets meet IS 15809 (High Visibility Warning Clothing) requirements, which align with EN 471 / ISO 20471 visibility classes. For NHAI and PWD contractors in Assam, Meghalaya and Arunachal Pradesh, IS 15809 compliance is typically specified in tender safety plans. We stock both fluorescent yellow-green (most visible in daylight) and fluorescent orange (preferred in some road authority specifications for workers near heavy machinery) in bulk quantities suitable for large contractor teams.
