As a engineer fresh out of college I used to be construction field engineer with municipal water and sewer projects.
One night a crew was working late day and it got dark. The operator of a machine with not great lights was flying and nearly hit me reaching into car. Himself was injured jamming breaks and dropping backhoe bucket. At first yelled at me then latter apologized. The crew was upset at him.
That all being said I had no reflective vest on we did not do this in 1995. At ire of my own company without approval I called the local survey supply house to directly deliver a reflective vest($50 deliver fee) no one wore at time.
