Protect Yourself, Be Seen
October is peak hunting season across much of Canada. If you’re heading into the field for work, research, or recreation, make visibility your top priority. Wearing solid blaze orange—a vest, jacket, or hat—helps ensure you’re seen from every angle, reducing the risk of accidents.Ontario’s Hunting Regulations require at least 400 square inches of solid hunter orange above the waist, plus a head covering, during gun seasons.
Other provinces have similar rules, reinforcing the importance of being visible and staying safe.
Practical Tips for Technicians & Field Crews
Whether you’re working or enjoying the outdoors, remember:
🔶 Blaze orange saves lives.
