What type of clothing is recommended when driving on the airfield?

Wearing high-visibility reflective vests when driving on the airfield is crucial for ensuring safety. These vests enhance visibility, particularly in areas where airfield lighting might be inadequate or where there is a high volume of movement, making it easier for both drivers and personnel on the ground to see each other. High-visibility clothing helps prevent accidents by making individuals more noticeable among the various vehicles and equipment operating in the active airfield environment.

The emphasis on such attire is rooted in the need for safety and situational awareness, as airfields can be busy and potentially hazardous places. The reflective quality of the vests adds an additional layer of protection, especially during dusk or dawn when visibility can be reduced.

Other types of clothing, such as casual work attire or standard military uniforms, may not provide the same level of visibility or protection needed in such environments. While heavy-duty safety gear may have its benefits, the requirement for high-visibility apparel is specifically aimed at minimizing the risk of accidents and ensuring that all personnel are easily identifiable to one another.
