Reflective vest distribution in Kenya

Reflective vests with verified product specification

A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE

Fictional workwear order: twenty new traceable high-visibility vests, roster six L, ten XL and four XXL, in the employer-approved colour/model. A Portwest C470 candidate is a reference only until the safety assessor confirms the exact variant, declaration and suitability. Include original use/care labels. Exclude adding logos across reflective areas, claiming every bright vest is certified and treating a vest as a replacement for traffic controls.
