The fight back has begun at last some common sense being shown by DPD Hinckley, although that doesn’t stop the place from being an absolute kip to tip in
The sad irony is that you’re far more visible nowadays if you’re not wearing a hi vis! It’s long been accepted that the brain tends to ignore the commonplace or what it expects to see in favour of the unusual, not wearing a hi vis in a workplace environment is unusual.
whats the issue here OP? hi-vis on when driving makes no difference at all, all blue light forces wear them on the myth has been debuked.

Depends what colour it is
The most half witted antics on the road tend to be performed by those wearing the perma hivis.
Not fast driving, its usually bone idle useless incompetent haven’t a clue what they are doing types, seeing the hivis glowing in the driving seat is a handy early warning that such antics are likely, so fashion faux pas or not its best for the rest of us if the perma hivis mob out there continue to do their thing

The issue is Hi-Vis is for use when needed I wear mine when required to, this is quite often in a yard like last night when hooking up to my trailer where the jacket can get dirty to then transfer that dirt to my cab seat seems stupid if you are sharing a cab then it is ignorant to leave dirt on the seat to be transferred to another drivers clothes, or in a similar vein when using seats in a cafe where the previous person has felt the need to eat their dinner wearing their hi vis and leave 5th wheel grease smeared all over the seat.
I understand blue light people wearing it as quite often they have to rapidly deploy at accident scenes in dangerous situations not quite the same as turning up to tip 26 plts of tat at DPD.
Interior lights another subject altogether but if you’re a grown man and feel the need to drive with the light on in the dark to comfort you then perhaps you should stick to days you never know what sort of monster is lurking under the bunk.
I tend to wear my hi-vis all the time as I’m a class 2 multi drop driver, having to keep taking it off and putting it on again in a few minutes is pointless, although I do if I’m wearing the hi-vis jacket, because I dislike driving in them. As for cab lights, na can’t have them on while driving, I even turn down the dash lights so I can just see them and if i know where I’m going sat nav is also turned off, even if its on night mode!!!

Not half! Some years ago the mill manager at ForFarmers Carmarthen had a purge on hi-viz wearing. I pointed out that I was more likely to be seen if I wasn’t wearing one… since if I was, the warehouse forkies just ignored me.
He was, predictably, not amused.
If I go into a goods in office and stand there at the hatch or counter being ignored, I take my hi viz off,.
You can guarantee within 15 seconds one of em will say ‘‘can you put your hi viz on driver’’ to which I reply…‘‘Oh so you CAN see me then’’
Probably runs them up the wrong way, but who tf cares. 
I wear mine for warmth. Only been given 2 polo shirts to wear by agency [emoji22]

Apart from the difference of either looking a complete and utter 2hat or not.
My hi viz is off before my arse hits the seat, I’ve got my rep to think of.

Ain’t that the truth
I wear mine to let everybody know I didn’t work hard enough at school.
