What is RWS clothing?
RWS clothing is recognisable by its fluorescent orange colour and specific striping that complies with the regulations of Rijkswaterstaat. Specifically horizontal and vertical stripes on the sleeve/trouser leg and 2 horizontal stripes and 2 vertical stripes on the torso that continue over the shoulder. This clothing is mandatory for everyone who carries out work on or along public roads in the Netherlands. The clothing must be certified according to the EN ISO 20471 standard (high visibility) .
When do you wear RWS clothing?
According to Rijkswaterstaat guidelines, RWS clothing is mandatory:
When working along highways, provincial roads or railways
During day and night shifts, also in bad weather or in tunnels
For road workers, traffic controllers and supervisors
In short: as soon as you find yourself in a situation where visibility is vital, certified RWS clothing is indispensable.
