OSHA does not have specific regulations solely for safety vests, but it mandates that employers provide appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) to ensure worker safety, as outlined in OSHA's general PPE standards (29 CFR 1910.132). For high-visibility clothing like safety vests, OSHA refers to the ANSI/ISEA 107 standard, which specifies the design, performance, and use criteria for high-visibility safety apparel to ensure workers are visible in various conditions. Employers must select vests that meet these standards based on the job site's specific risks and conditions.
