The method of enhancing the safety of individuals who perform activities which are made more hazardous when poorly illuminated, such as hunters who risk being shot by other hunters in the dark, and those who perform activities on or near vehicle roadways, such as joggers, construction workers, motorists is disabled vehicles, and bicyclists. These individuals are provided with an outer garment, preferably taking the form of a vest, which is fitted with a plurality of electrically operated lamps on both its front and rear panels. The lights are energized continuously or in an automatic flashing mode from a battery attached to and carried by the safety vest. Reflective strips or panels are preferably affixed to the exterior of the vest in adjacent to the lamps, thereby increasing the visibility of the individual when illuminated and enhancing the luminosity of the lamps. The vest may be advantageously constructed of a mesh material to permit cooling air to freely circulate.
