Why ANSI Ratings Matter – And How GAME Stays Ahead of the Curve

In industries where safety is everything, the garments your crew wears aren’t just uniforms—they’re frontline protection. That’s why ANSI (American National Standards Institute) ratings are more than a label; they’re a promise.

What Are ANSI Ratings?

ANSI ratings define performance standards for high-visibility, flame resistance, and protective gear. They set the benchmark for visibility, durability, and safety in workwear used by construction workers, emergency responders, utility crews, and more.

For example:

  1. ANSI/ISEA 107 outlines requirements for hi-vis apparel (brightness, retroreflective tape placement, etc.)
  2. Performance Classes 1, 2, and 3 reflect increasing levels of visibility based on job risk.

These standards are not just guidelines—they’re critical for regulatory compliance, worker safety, and legal liability protection.

Why It Matters to Your Business

Failing to meet ANSI standards can mean:

  1. Greater risk of workplace accidents
  2. Violations during OSHA inspections
  3. Reduced trust from employees and clients

    In contrast, ANSI-compliant gear offers peace of mind, ensures insurance coverage, and reinforces your brand’s reputation for reliability.
