Why do sanitation workers wear reflective vests?

Reflective vest for sanitation workers:

The sanitation workers changed into mesh reflective vests. This kind of mesh vest is expected to be popularized in the whole city.

The new mesh vest is orange-red, made of breathable mesh, and has three PVC reflective grids on the front and back, which plays a warning and reflective role. It is more conspicuous, lighter and smaller than the original heavy and wide sanitation overalls.

The environmental sanitation department jointly purchased reflective vests for sanitation workers, and the accident investigation and handling brigade also gave a traffic safety lesson for sanitation workers.

Since the beginning of this year, sanitation workers have been hit repeatedly, 1 person died and 7 people were injured. The analysis of the accident investigation and handling brigade of the traffic police detachment of the Municipal Public Security Bureau found that most accidents occurred at night or in the early morning. In addition to the driver's illegal operation, the clothes of sanitation workers are dim and difficult to be found, which is also the cause of the accident. To this end, the accident investigation and handling brigade actively contacted the Municipal Environmental Sanitation Department and reached an understanding that the accident investigation and handling brigade would purchase reflective vests with better reflective effect for sanitation workers at the expense of the Environmental Sanitation Department. At the same time, the accident investigation and handling brigade also gave a traffic safety lesson to sanitation workers to enhance their awareness of protection.
