Hey there group,
I have a question on company shirts and what color is needed for safety. We do commercial electrical construction which mostly consists of ground-up or remodel educational and medical facilities, casino's, detention centers, office TI's, etc.
In the past, we have always provided some grey and some orange shirts for our crew. The thought process was that they could use the orange shirts for jobs that required them and the grey for smaller private jobs that didn't. A lot of our work these days require high visibility clothing with reflective stripes. We have vests that the crews wear to satisfy this requirement which negates the need for the orange shirts. We also do smaller private type jobs where it is not a construction environment and the orange is a little off putting sometimes when you need to keep a low profile on some projects.
Is there ever a time where an orange shirt would satisfy a safety requirement by itself? I'm thinking it may be best just to order all grey shirts from now on to keep inventory manageable. Then they can just wear the vest over it when required.
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.
