Rail PPE and trackside hi-vis
Anyone working on or near Network Rail infrastructure needs orange hi-vis certified to RIS-3279-TOM, the rail industry standard built on EN ISO 20471. We stock it head to toe: polos and T-shirts for summer, fleeces and softshells for the cold, and waterproof jackets, bib and brace and over-trousers for bad weather, including Orbit International's GORE-TEX® garments for crews out in the rain all day.

Questions
- What is RIS-3279-TOM?
- The Rail Industry Standard for high-visibility clothing on Network Rail infrastructure. It requires orange garments that meet EN ISO 20471, and sets its own minimum class. Your sponsor may ask for more.
- Does yellow hi-vis work on rail?
- Not on Network Rail infrastructure, where orange to RIS-3279-TOM is required.
- Can you kit out a whole rail gang?
- Yes. We pack per person and can add your company logo, positioned so the garment keeps its certification. See custom workwear.
