JJ Keller expands safety lighting solutions
J.J. Keller & Associates recently added light-up protection products designed to enhance worker visibility and reduce risk in low-light and high-traffic environments.
These safety products are ideal for DOT road workers, construction crews, trucking, towing, emergency response, and personal safety, J.J. Keller reported. Illuminated PPE helps workers stay visible in dim conditions, improving safety and compliance with ANSI/ISEA and OSHA worker visibility requirements. By adding illumination, workers can perform tasks more effectively and adapt to diverse work conditions, reducing accidents and liability risks.
“Visibility is critical for worker safety, especially in high-risk environments like road construction and transportation,” Ray Chishti, J.J. Keller senior EHS editor, said in a news release. “According to the Federal Highway Administration, adequate lighting can reduce nighttime pedestrian‑injury crashes by 42%. This finding underscores the critical importance of visibility for anyone on or near the roadway.
“In work zones, where workers often operate in low‑light conditions, illuminated safety equipment, such as lighted vests, supports the same visibility principles by helping drivers detect workers sooner and reducing the risk of nighttime crashes.”
Light-up protection product offerings include:
- Lighted vests: Up to 15 hours of constant light or 25 hours flashing, quick recharge, and weather-resistant design.
