Certified for crane and heavy-lift operations at Meridian Harbor's irradiated cargo terminals, this jacket meets the MH-Rad-3 standard for incidental radiation exposure from Class 2 contaminated freight — the kind of shipping containers arriving from the Great Lakes reclamation zones and the irradiated manufacturing corridors further east. The outer shell is a lead-composite fiber weave bonded to a thermoplastic inner layer, making the jacket heavier than standard work wear but necessary for operators spending 8–12 hour shifts in proximity to hot cargo. High-vis orange panels on the shoulders and sleeves meet harbor safety requirements, and the Harborworks Collective logo — a stylized crane hook — sits on the right chest.

The jacket is designed for the physical demands of crane operation: articulated elbow panels allow full range of motion without breaking the radiation shielding, and the collar is tall and sealed with a magnetic closure that integrates with compatible respirator collars. Augmentation compatibility is a priority given the high rate of cyberware among experienced dock workers — reinforced port-access panels are standard at the wrist and forearm, and the shoulder seams are cut wide to accommodate prosthetic or enhanced arms. A dosimeter strip on the left wrist reads cumulative radiation exposure and changes color at threshold levels. Harborworks issues replacement jackets when the strip reads yellow; most workers wait until red.
