PPAGLA Offers Approved Hwy. Safety Vest

Orders are now being accepted for the PPAGLA Media Safety Vest:

•Type 3 Lime colored safety vest of lightweight 100% Polyester tight-mesh material. 2 inch 3M 'Scotchlite 8906 Reflective Material' striping on front and back. Meets ANSI 107-200 Class 2.

•Bold, block lettering "NEWS MEDIA', plus PPAGLA logo on the front and back.

•Clear pocket window for media ID on front right, with a chest pocket on the opposite side.

Beginning November 24, 2008, a new Federal Law states that “ALL persons working on a Federal Highway MUST wear a Type 2 or Type 3 safety vest”. This includes firefighters, police, tow truck drivers and the media.

See Alicia Wagner Calzada's story about the new requirement on NPPA's web site.
