Reflective Trim
Drivers passing an accident scene or emergency response situation have only seconds to notice and respond to the presence of a fire fighter, an EMS technician or a traffic controller. Therefore, being "highly visible" is extremely important. In accordance with NFPA Standards, Quaker Safety attaches reflective trim, constructed of both fluorescent and retroreflective materials, to the outer shell of its structural fire fighting garments to enhance visibility. The fluorescent trim enhances daytime visibility while the retroreflective trim enhances nighttime visibility. (Retroreflectivity values for retroreflective materials are 150 to 1,500 times higher than skin or white fabric.) The various brands of reflective trim which Quaker Safety offers improves the likelihood that fire fighters will in fact be “highly visible” both during the daytime and nighttime hours.
