Equip yourself with clothing that will reflect light from vehicle headlights, making wearers more visible from up to 500 feet away. Choose safety vests or gear with 360-degree reflective panels for optimal visibility.
Stay alert by minimizing distractions such as loud music or checking your phone while walking or running. Always face oncoming traffic when walking to improve your chances of spotting hazards early.
Maintain the reflective properties of your safety gear by following care instructions, which typically include washing on a gentle cycle and air drying. Regularly inspect your gear for wear and tear and replace it as needed to ensure peak performance.
In conditions like rain, fog, or snow, wear waterproof, reflective clothing and ensure that all safety gear maintains its reflective properties when wet.
Equip children with reflective backpacks, wristbands, or vests, ensuring they’re easily seen by drivers. Teach children to cross streets at designated crosswalks and make eye contact with drivers before stepping onto the road
Use reflective leashes, collars, and safety vests designed for pets to ensure they’re visible to drivers. For optimal safety, consider adding an LED clip-on light to your pet’s collar.
Always carry a small first aid kit and have emergency contact numbers saved on your phone. Wear ID bracelets with essential medical information if you have allergies or health conditions. Ensure your safety gear has a small, accessible pocket for these items.
