1 min. readlast update: 08.09.2025

Some delivery jobs require you to enter the Sender’s warehouse to collect items.
For safety reasons, you must wear a yellow or orange hi-vis vest before entering the warehouse.


🚨 Why You Need a Hi-Vis Vest

  • Makes you highly visible to warehouse staff and moving vehicles (e.g., forklifts).

  • Reduces the risk of accidents while walking inside busy warehouse areas.

  • Meets warehouse safety compliance rules.


🛒 Don’t Have a Hi-Vis Vest?

They’re inexpensive and easy to find at most retail stores:

  • Bunnings – from $7.50

  • Kmart – from $10

  • Many other local hardware, safety, or department stores also sell them

💡 Quick Tip:
Google "Bunnings near me" or "Kmart near me" to find the nearest store.


📝 Tips for Runners

  • Keep your hi-vis vest in your vehicle at all times — you never know when you’ll get a warehouse pickup job.

  • Make sure your vest is yellow or orange and in good condition (no tears or faded colour).

  • Put it on before entering the warehouse.


Wearing a hi-vis vest is a simple step that keeps you safe and ensures you meet all warehouse entry requirements.
