A crew supervisor on a Queensland mine just noticed that the high‑visibility vests on the site didn’t match the colour and reflectivity of those on a Sydney construction project.

Imagine a construction crew on a hot‑dry site near Alice Springs, every worker clad in bright‑orange hi‑vis vests that flash in the midday glare. Now picture the same crew a decade from now, but with twice as many vests on the site because the local market has exploded. What drives that surge, and how can […]
When a crew descends on a rough‑and‑ready site at Kiama Harbour, the first thing a foreman checks isn’t the equipment list – it’s whether every worker is visible enough to be seen from the road and the sea.
