Ergodyne Launches New Hi-Vis Accessories To Help Combat Struck-By Incidents From Workday To Weekend
St. Paul, MN (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Ergodyne, makers of Tenacious Work Gear®, has expanded its hi-vis line with a collection of accessories designed to help people stay seen and stay safe in high-risk, low-visibility environments.
This latest release comes at a time when “struck-by” incidents—which account for more than 15,000 injuries annually according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics—remain one of the top causes of serious injury and death on the job. Low-light conditions, distracted drivers and fast-moving worksites all play a role, especially in construction, transportation and warehousing.
But Ergodyne Product Manager Kris Wolle-Wayne sees the application of Ergodyne’s latest wave of hi-vis accessories going beyond the worksite.
“On the job or on a jog… these new accessories give people easy, flexible options to boost visibility,” said Wolle-Wayne. “It doesn’t do you much good to stay safe at work only to put yourself at risk on the weekend,” she added.
The new additions include:
- 8100 Hi-Vis Arm/Leg Band – Comes in two sizes, S/M (14in L // 35.6cm) and L/XL (17.5in L // 44.5cm), ensuring a good fit for a range of arm and leg sizes. Ideal for workers, cyclists and runners who require both visibility and comfort during their daily activities or outdoor adventures.
- 8045X Hi-Vis Safety Vest – Made with lightweight and breathable mesh fabric, this high visibility vest ensures that the wearer stays cool and comfortable even during extended wear or vigorous physical activity.
- 8142BA Breakaway Safety Vest – X-back vests are designed to make it instantly clear whether someone is moving forward or backward, enhancing safety and awareness in dynamic environments. This hi-vis vest is compliant to the ANSI/ISEA 107-2020 Class 1 standard.
- 8106 Universal Hi-Vis Strap Cover – Fit backpacks, harnesses and bags with 2" ANSI-compliant high visibility reflective material paired with 1.5" reflective tape. Great for bike commuters or walkers.
- 8105 Universal Hi-Vis Seat Belt Cover – In-vehicle visibility for operators, drivers and mobile crews.
Ergodyne also teased bigger updates coming later this year, including new women’s-fit options designed to improve comfort and adoption across crews.
