Safety First: Understanding High Visibility on a Construction Site
Working on a construction site involves facing multiple risks: machinery traffic, poor visibility due to weather or limited lighting. For Mascot, safety is priceless. Each high-visibility garment is designed to meet strict standards, ensuring optimal protection. The slogan "TESTED TO WORK" sums up the brand's commitment: each piece is tested in real-life conditions and in the laboratory.
Why is high visibility non-negotiable?
On a construction site, 30% of serious accidents are due to reduced visibility. A worker who is poorly seen by machinery or a colleague puts their life at risk. Mascot high-visibility workwear combines fluorescent and retroreflective materials to guarantee 360� visibility. As a professional, you know: regulations require Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) that complies with the EN ISO 20471 standard. Without them, the risks of accidents, legal sanctions, or damage to the company's reputation are real.
EN ISO 20471 Standard: Protection Classes
The EN ISO 20471 standard defines three levels of safety, adapted to the severity of the risks. Here's an overview of the requirements:
| Protection class | Associated risk level | Minimum surface area of ??fluorescent material (m�) | Minimum surface area of ??retroreflective material (m�) | Examples of situations |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Class 1 | Low | 0.14 | 0.10 | Intervention in a private parking lot |
| Class 2 | Intermediate | 0.50 | 0.13 | Working on roads limited to 50 km/h |
| Class 3 | High | 0.80 | 0.20 | Work on highways, airports |
Class 3, mandatory on high-risk construction sites, requires the body to be surrounded by retroreflective strips. This guarantees visibility up to 90 km/h, a crucial criterion for road or aerial work.
How to reach Class 3 with Mascot clothing?
Mascot simplifies access to Class 3 thanks to a clever system. By combining a Class 2 jacket and Class 1 trousers, you get maximum protection. This solution offers flexibility and compliance without compromise. Choosing the right high-visibility clothing is the first step in complying with regulations and protecting your teams. MASCOT� SAFE coveralls, certified EN ISO 20471 Class 3, incorporate stretch reinforcements and MASCOTEX� fabrics for optimal thermal insulation, even in extreme conditions.
Your Mascot starter kit: the 3 essentials to get started
Work trousers: robustness and functionality at the forefront
The Mascot ULTIMATE STRETCH trousers occupy a special place to meet the demands of construction sites. Its 92% nylon and 8% elastane fabric combines exceptional strength and elasticity. The 500D CORDURA� knee pockets guarantee optimal protection, with EN 14404 certification for ground postures.
By choosing this model, you're also investing in longevity: tested in the lab and in the field, it resists tears, abrasion, and retains its colors. The zippered leg openings provide targeted ventilation, while the multiple pockets (measuring tape, phone) simplify everyday life. An ergonomic fit and belt loops enhance comfort for extended wear.
Upper body: from T-shirts to high-visibility polo shirts
Why neglect the first layer of protection? Mascot polo shirts and t-shirts made from COOLMAX� are a strategic choice. This material wicks away perspiration up to 50% faster, a major advantage for intense outdoor activities.
These tops, certified to EN ISO 20471 (often Class 1 or 2), provide 360� visibility thanks to retroreflective stripes. Looking to combine lightness and compliance? These garments meet safety standards while limiting overheating, even under the blazing sun. The MASCOT� SAFE range offers fluorescent and contrasting colors to adapt to every environment.
The outer layer: the jacket, your ultimate shield
Do you want complete protection against the elements? Mascot jackets, like softshell models or parkas, combine waterproofing (EN 343 standard) and breathability. Fabrics such as triple-layer MASCOTEX� or Bearnylon� resist pressurized water while wicking away internal moisture.
High-visibility models, certified EN ISO 20471 Class 2 or 3, incorporate reflectors in vital areas. A removable hood and multiple pockets (for tools, documents) make these jackets versatile. By combining thermal comfort and safety, they limit the risks associated with extreme conditions.
- High Visibility Work Trousers: For durability, functionality, and knee protection.
- High Visibility T-Shirt or Polo Shirt: For comfort, moisture management, and consistent basic visibility.
- High Visibility Work Jacket: For maximum protection against hazards and bad weather, ensuring Class 2 or 3 compliance.
Beyond Visibility: Mascot Technologies That Make the Difference
Total Freedom of Movement with ULTIMATE STRETCH
Looking for the secret to a garment that moves with you without ever getting in the way? Here you go! ULTIMATE STRETCH fabric offers exceptional four-way stretch. Imagine climbing a ladder, crouching to lay cables, or bending over tools: every movement is carried out without tension on the fabric.
And for good reason: its 100% stretch structure hugs the body perfectly, reducing fatigue caused by friction. By choosing this material, you're also investing in your safety. Less discomfort means more focus on your task, a crucial advantage on a dynamic construction site.
Rugged durability: the secret of CORDURA� fabric
Which fabric is 10 times more durable than cotton and 3 times more durable than standard polyester? CORDURA�, used strategically by Mascot in critical areas: knees, ruler pockets, and hems. This technology transforms a garment into combat gear against daily wear and tear.
Construction professionals know: the costs associated with frequent replacements add up quickly. By incorporating CORDURA�, Mascot guarantees a doubled or even tripled lifespan. A profitable investment, especially since this resistance is accompanied by unparalleled comfort thanks to the associated lightweight fabrics.
When risks multiply: the MASCOT� MULTISAFE range
A modern construction site exposes workers to a variety of risks: sparks from an electric arc, chemical splashes, or static discharges. The MASCOT� MULTISAFE range meets these challenges with specific certifications (EN 61482-2, EN 13034). But its real strength lies in the synergy between multiple protections and comfort.
- Active Comfort: Thanks to fabrics like ULTIMATE STRETCH that follow your every move.
- Extreme Durability: With CORDURA� reinforcements placed in the most stressed areas.
- Optimal Ergonomics: Cuts designed to never get in the way, with features designed for professionals (pockets, adjustments). Discover women's-specific cuts at Women's Workwear.
- Intelligent Protection: Ranges like MULTISAFE address the specific risks of your job.
By combining these technologies, Mascot strikes a balance between safety and practicality. Working with electricity? Anti-static protection (EN 1149-5) becomes a silent ally. Welding? The fabric resists molten metal splashes (EN ISO 11612). In short: your risks dictate your protection, without compromising on effectiveness.
Finalize your outfit: shoes and accessories for complete protection
Don't neglect your feet: choose the right Mascot safety shoes
Mascot shoes meet the S3 SRC standard, the benchmark for construction. They incorporate a composite or carbon fiber toe cap tested to 200 joules, combined with a textile or steel anti-perforation sole. Their leather or CORDURA� upper is resistant to abrasion and bad weather. EVA or PU/TPU soles ensure lightness and grip, while the BOA� Fit System allows for ergonomic, one-handed adjustment.
Accessories that complement your safety
Complete equipment = maximum safety. Mascot belts, available here, distribute the weight of tools with ergonomic reinforcements. Knee pads, equipped with specially designed foam, reduce fatigue when kneeling for long periods. High-visibility hats or caps include retro-reflective stripes for optimal safety in all weathers.
When paired with your Mascot clothing, these accessories form a cohesive ensemble, designed to withstand daily wear and tear.
Care Tips: Maximizing the Life of Your Mascot Clothing
A poorly maintained garment loses its effectiveness. Here are the key steps:
- Read the label: Follow washing temperatures (40�C max) to preserve technical fabrics.
- Wash inside out: Protects retroreflective elements and limits wear.
- Avoid fabric softener: It alters flame-retardant or electrostatic treatments.
- Inspect regularly: Look for weakened seams or discolored bands.
By following these practices, you preserve the performance of your garments. Because at Mascot, durability is also part of their use, thanks to rigorous care. Investing in Mascot clothing means choosing safety, durability and comfort on your construction sites. Technologies such as ULTIMATE STRETCH and CORDURA�, combined with the EN ISO 20471 standard, meet the highest standards.
