Frequently Asked Questions
What is this shirt made from?
It is made from durable cotton drill.
Will this shirt meet my site's PPE requirements?
Requirements vary by operator and site. Check the required colour, reflective tape layout and any specified standard for your workplace before ordering.
How do I choose the right size?
Check the Size Guide on this page and compare the measurements with a shirt that already fits you well.
More common questions
What is the benefit of underarm or back vents?
Vent panels improve airflow and reduce body heat while working. This feature helps workers stay comfortable during physical tasks or in hot environments.
Do long sleeve work shirts help with sun protection?
Yes. Long sleeves provide additional skin coverage and can help reduce direct sun exposure. For a specific level of UV protection, check the product's stated UPF rating rather than relying on fabric type alone.
Why choose a work shirt instead of a polo?
Work shirts can provide more coverage, chest-pocket storage and traditional workwear construction, while polos can suit lighter or more presentation-focused uniforms. The better option depends on the task, climate, fabric and workplace requirements.
Which reflective tape configuration is suitable for night or low-light work?
There is no single reflective-tape layout that suits every workplace. For night or low-light work, choose a garment designed for the visibility class and tape configuration required by your site. Rail operators and other workplaces can impose specific colour and tape-layout requirements. Confirm the current site PPE requirements before ordering; current Australian standards include AS 4602.1:2024 and AS/NZS 1906.4:2023.
How do reflective tape patterns differ, and which one should I choose?
Reflective tape layouts are not interchangeable universal compliance categories. Requirements depend on the rail operator, worksite and risk assessment. NSW rail guidance uses orange high-visibility clothing and an X-back reflective arrangement in relevant rail settings; V/Line guidance specifies orange day/night garments with H-pattern reflective striping, while Queensland Rail publicly requires orange high-visibility clothing and site-specific PPE instructions. Current garment and material standards include AS 4602.1:2024 and AS/NZS 1906.4:2023. Always confirm the exact operator or site requirement before ordering.
Can Big Bee workwear be customised with printing or embroidery?
Many Big Bee garments can be customised with printing or embroidery, but the best method depends on the fabric, garment construction, reflective elements and logo placement. We review the garment and artwork before confirming the decoration method for a custom order.
