Hi Guys

Does any one know of a prefered hi-viz colour for light vehicles on mining haul roads?

White is very common but are there other colours out there that others may use (lime yellow for instance)

RE: Visibility on Mining haul Roads

Best thing is a tall fluorescent red flag to get above dust and to be at truck driver's eye level.  Also, flashing light helps.  Also in the US, NIOSH (former USBM) has done a lot of work on this topic.  They are at http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/mining/default.htm.

Thanks PhillyFrank

Flags and lights we do already but I'll follow the lead you gave.
