Important Limitations
The class 1 rating is a specific visibility level rather than a general guarantee of suitability for every site or task. Check the exact standard requirements for your workplace before choosing this item.
Before You Decide
Confirm the size, the required visibility class and the standards you need before choosing an offer. Also check that you want overtrousers rather than a standalone trouser for everyday wear.
