The Safety Polo Shirt brings high visibility to a smarter uniform. With a collar and button placket it looks professional for supervisors, inspectors, transport staff and customer-facing roles, while fluorescent fabric and reflective tape keep the wearer visible around vehicles and machinery.
It is made from soft, wicking polyester pique or birdseye knit and is easy to brand with embroidery, making it a favourite for company uniform programmes.

Safety Standards & Compliance
Shirts and sweatshirts with sleeves can be built to ANSI/ISEA 107-2020 Type R Class 2 or Class 3, or EN ISO 20471 Class 1 or 2. Whether a top reaches Class 3 depends on sleeve length, tape layout and the smallest size in the range, so tell us the class you need before the design is finalised.
Test reports are issued per style, fabric and tape combination. We will confirm which reports apply when we quote.
Customization & OEM Options
We can match corporate colours on collars, cuffs and side panels, and add sleeve embroidery or printed names.
- Branding: screen printing, heat transfer, embroidery or woven labels — placed so they do not cover the reflective tape.
- Private label: your own neck label, care label, size label, hangtag and polybag.
- Colour & tape: fluorescent yellow, orange or red, two-tone designs, and a choice of reflective tape grades.
- Packing: individual polybags, size-assorted cartons and carton marks to your warehouse requirements.

Safety Polo Shirt FAQ
Is a polo shirt as safe as a vest?
If it carries enough fluorescent area and tape for the required class, yes. Two-tone styles reduce the fluorescent area, so we check the class during design.
Can you match our brand colour?
Contrast parts such as collars and side panels can be dyed to match. The fluorescent body stays in a standard safety colour.
Long sleeve available?
Yes, in the same fabric.
