Rail-Spec Hi-Vis Clothing

Rail workers in Australia wear orange for a reason. Yellow and lime-green are used in signal systems, which means a worker in either colour can blend into the visual landscape a train driver is scanning. Orange is the one colour that does not appear in the signal palette, which is why every major Australian network requires it on the corridor.

But being orange is not enough on its own. Rail-spec clothing must meet AS/NZS 4602.1 Class D/N, which sets the minimum area of fluorescent material and the retroreflective tape requirements for both day and night visibility. On top of that, individual networks specify their own tape configurations. NSW Rail Tape and VIC Rail Tape are not interchangeable. A shirt that is compliant for a Transport for NSW corridor may not meet Metro Trains Melbourne or V/Line requirements. Check the product title against your network's access conditions before ordering.

Every garment in this collection is sourced from verified Australian suppliers and listed with the network tape specification clearly identified. The range covers everything a crew needs across different conditions: lightweight cotton drill shirts for hot trackside shifts, heavyweight cargo trousers for physical maintenance work, women's cuts from TRU WORKWEAR and PETER MORRISSEY for proper fit rather than oversized men's garments, and wet weather options including rain sets, rain vests, and the PETER MORRISSEY 5-in-1 jacket for the full range of Australian conditions.

All garments are available with specifications and pricing confirmed online, so you can check compliance before ordering rather than chasing documentation after the fact.

If you need a garment for a specific network not currently listed, use the Request a Product page and we will source it. For bulk crew orders, contact the team directly.
