Visibility on Mining haul Roads

[PeterRod]

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)

Regards

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

Thanks PhillyFrank

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