As a firefighter, we've been told we MUST wear a vest when working along a highway. Turnout gear is not enough. I don't really know whether or not the "rules" have been extended to FF and/or law enforcement or not. What I do know is that our local fire chiefs have decided they don't want to find out... if someone gets struck a) want to prevent it in the first place, and b) if it ever did happen to have to deal with OSHA, etc.
We had a close call a few years ago. It really had nothing to do with anyone wearing vests or not, but it did wake everyone up to the fact that things could have been much worse.
