    What is RIS-3279-TOM?

    RIS-3279-TOM is a specification standard in the UK that governs the design and performance requirements for high-visibility clothing used in the railway industry. This standard is primarily focused on ensuring that the clothing worn by railway workers is highly visible in all light conditions, particularly in environments where there are moving trains or other vehicles, which pose a significant safety risk.

    Key Features of RIS-3279-TOM:

    • High Visibility: The standard specifies the use of high-visibility materials in fluorescent colours, typically orange, which is particularly effective in the railway environment.
    • Reflective Material: It requires the use of reflective strips that meet specific performance criteria to ensure that the wearer is visible in low-light conditions or under direct light, such as from headlights.
    • Durability: The garments must be durable and capable of withstanding the harsh conditions typical of railway work environments, including exposure to weather, dirt, and wear from physical labour.
    • Design and Coverage: The standard specifies how much of the garment must be made from high-visibility material and how much reflective material must be used. It also details the positioning of these materials to ensure maximum visibility.

    RIS-3279-TOM is critical for ensuring the safety of railway workers by making them easily visible to train drivers and other personnel, thereby reducing the risk of accidents.
