The Civil Protection “in safety” with Airbag Jacket

After the agreement with Bemba, Halite Italia is back on target. The “Moto taffeta Fruitland – Volunteer Organization” (the first Motorcycling Association associated with the Civil Protection of Friuli Venetia Giulia), equipped its motorcyclists with the airbag safety vests of the company directed in Italy by Petro.

 

Thanks to the support, the members of Moto Fruitland, headed by Silvia, opted for the AirNet model in the High Visibility version, characterized by a predominantly fluorescent yellow with reflective bands, and personalized on the back with the official logo of the “Civil Protection of Friuli Venetia Giulia” and previously with the symbol of the Friuli Moto.

 

In the event of a fall or accident with your two wheels, the Halite airbag will cushion the impact, stiffen the torso and spine, limiting the rotation of the helmet in all directions and reducing the risk of injury and compression of the cervical vertebrae. The airbag inflates on the chest, the sides, the neck, the cervical spine and on the whole column in just 10 hundredths of a second!

 

A confirmation that even in times of crisis, the best investment is in security. If we calculate the public costs due to motorbike and scooter road accidents and the costs in terms of human lives and serious injuries, it is easy to understand that it is much better to prevent rather than try to remedy, as far as possible.

 

Safety vest from multi collections for migrants bike

The Province of Livorno promoted the road safety initiative. The Red Cross of Livorno has received 250 reflective vests that will be distributed to its guests.

 

From the proceeds of the fines come the life jackets for migrants using the bicycle: this is the initiative put in place by the Province of Livorno for road safety. So they have been delivered to the Red Cross of Livorno 250 reflective vest.

 

Cycling outside the built-up areas after sunset can be dangerous if, as prescribed by the Highway Code, suitable reflective vests are not worn that increase the cyclist’s visibility along the streets without lighting. That is why the Province of Livorno decided to use part of the proceeds of fines for infractions along the provincial roads, for the purchase of vest with high visibility reflective bands, to be distributed to the migrants hosted in the Red Cross reception centers.

 

 

High visibility vests save the Life of the Hunter

The Hunt Hunting Association asks you hunters to pay more attention to safety and to the fact that they must wear the high visibility vest during wild boar hunting.

 

In fact, let’s go back to talk about Vests with high visibility and safety of hunters, waiting for the Region of Sardinia to issue an urgent measure that obliges big hunting teams to use the orange vest. As is already the case in almost all regions of Italy, we ask you hunter friends to wear a High Visibility vest, which will surely help you to be more recognizable in soils covered with thick vegetation.

 

We are increasingly convinced by the testimony of a member of the team involved in the accident, as a direct interested,” reports our friend hunter “as a person who knows how the facts occurred I can tell you that if the wounded had worn the orange reflective vest would most likely have avoided the tragedy.”

 

Dear friends, the vest is fundamental for the safety of all us hunters and does not affect the joke, the ungulates have in fact a dichromatic vision, so they are not able to distinguish all the colors. To be precise, wild boars have only two types of cones, a type sensitive to short waves (blue / purple light) and the other sensitive to medium waves (green / yellow light), but are totally unable to distinguish red and green.

 

Therefore, in the eyes of a wild boar, a hunter dressed in green, red or orange looks alike, while in the eyes of another hunter appears visible and recognizable, so thanks to the orange vest with high visibility many lives can be saved without affecting the joke hunting.

 

 

 

“Reflective harness for mushroom”: the bill by Angelo

“Avoiding or reducing as much as possible the occurrence of accidents during the hunting season, it is due to the lack of recognition of people who are in the woods looking for mushrooms. Through a high visibility reflective vest that they will wear and that will make them more visible even when there is a need to find them in case of loss.”

 

This is the content of a bill presented by Angelo, leader of Forsa Italia in the Liguria Region. “In light of the latest events that have occurred in our woods, I thought it necessary to propose an amendment to the Regional Law of 2014 that regulates the collection and marketing. With the adoption of a reflective harness, the seekers would have the possibility of being visible from long distances, clearly reducing the risk of being hit in a manner accidental, as recently happened, with tragic implications, in the Municipality”.

 

“The reflective harness – continues the regional councilor – would also have another important purpose: to facilitate relief if there was the need to find a lost person in the woods, another event that often happened. For all these reasons, which are designed to protect both mushroom and hunters, I have prepared this bill and safety vest, which would provide the delivery of the harness to the fun aioli by the bodies responsible for issuing the card or by the searcher himself.”

 

“Safety during the hunting season must come first and this change to the existing law would be a piece to make it more concrete,” concludes the president of the council group Forsa Italy.

The new North wave summer collection with reflective material

The Italian firm North wave presented a few days ago its complete collection of clothes with reflective material for the spring-summer season of 2017, a collection whose common denominator remains, without any doubt, comfort, design and quality. Extreme2, Mind Field, Palm Beach and Logo 3 jerseys, Logo 3 and Blade 2 culottes, Flag Man and Blaze gloves and Vortex Jacket windbreakers, Vortex Vest vests and Extreme Tech stocks are the main stars of this collection.

 

The short sleeve jerseys Extreme2, Mind Field, Palm Beach, and Logo 3 of North wave share a good part of its main characteristics, among which its fabric covered with microscopic pores that guarantees an excellent perspiration. In addition, the super-breathable 3D mesh inserts on the sides achieve even greater ventilation. The lower part of their sleeves has great grip points that adapt like a second skin. It also has an elastic silicone band around the waist. A complete YKK zipper, three back pockets, and a full reflective band at the waist complete the details of these jerseys.

 

Both the Logo 3 calotte and the Blade 2 have K110 padding, specially conceived to face medium and long distance routes with excellent shock absorption and great breathability. They are made with a compression fabric that reduces muscle vibration thereby decreasing the feeling of fatigue and improving sports performance. The straps of these culottes are made in a mesh that guarantees greater breathability. On the other hand, the construction of the leg cuff combines a 4.5 cm microfiber band with a cut panel for a perfect fit.

 

They also have reflective details on the legs and the lower part of the back.

The Flag Man short gloves from North wave have a perforated microfiber palm for great breathability. Maximum comfort is achieved thanks to its latex foam padding on the palms. The flexible mesh on the back promotes increased airflow and quick drying. A Velcro adjusts the cuffs, the thumb has a microfiber area that will help us to clean the sweat, and the tabs of the fingers allow you to remove the glove easily.

 

 

Incorporate Road safety detail in your personalized equipment

As is well known, cyclists are a vulnerable group when they travel by road between cars and other vehicles. Despite the regulations to leave the minimum space of 1.5m to overtake, many are the drivers who commit infractions endangering the lives of those who ride on the bike.

 

For this reason, any element that helps to increase the visibility of them is helpful to add safety, although in the end this always ends up depending on the awareness of the drivers themselves. From Taylor we offer several options for road safety that have the sole purpose of contributing to saving the physical integrity of cyclists who leave by road to train. All of them are available in custom, so you can include them in the customization of your cycling gear.

 

First, we have the fluorescent colors, which multiply the cyclist’s visibility on the asphalt. The FLUOR ADDICTION collection is the living example. It is not the same to see “spot” yellow fluorescent than to see it black or some other neutral color. In the first case, the circulation of the cyclist becomes more evident, and, therefore, safety is gained. When it comes to customizing your jersey, you can include these colors in your designs, which also, as has been proven, also give an extra personality and style to the garment.

 

Another of the elements we use in our culottes are the reflective cuffs, available in both short and long versions (3 cm the first and 7 cm the second). They incorporate micro-points of reflective material on the surface that makes them shine when the light strikes directly, also increasing the cyclist’s visibility and making the garment useful, so that they can circulate when the sun is going out or even at night. These cuffs can be sublimated, so they can incorporate any design and / or color, also fluorine, of course, as we can see in the FLUOR ADDICTION collection.

 

Finally, we also have reflective living, which can be incorporated into any seam of our cycling jersey or jacket. It gathers the same properties as the fist, but in this case the surface is not covered with microdots of reflective material but it is in its entirety, shining slightly more than the fists.

 

 

 

The Local Police already have bulletproof vests for all its agents

The mayor, Salvador, together with the Councilor for Social Affairs and Public Safety, Maria Angeles Ruiz Venal, have handed over to the body of the local police the bulletproof vests recently acquired and that will serve to provide greater security to the seventeen members that make up the body.

 

The vests specially designed for use above the clothes, have protection in the chest, back and sides, providing ballistic protection, providing the police body with a level 3A safety vest.

 

The company Equipment and Equipment S.L. of Madrid, dedicated to the manufacture of police and emergency protection material, has been in charge of supplying the bulletproof vests, with a total cost of the same of € 10,819.

 

During the delivery, the mayor of the locality, Salvador Hernandez stressed, “With the acquisition of this new equipment, the city council responds to the demand that had been made by members of the local police. One more sample that this consistory continues working so that the police of the municipality continue being one of the best endowed of the entire province,” added Hernandez in safety uniform.

 

Recently, the City Council leased a new vehicle, a Peugeot 308, which gave the Local Police the best means to develop their work for the benefit of the safety and welfare of citizens.

 

Reflective vest with logos for nurse’s work safety

The Punta de Europe Hospital in Algeciras has initiated a pilot experience with which it seeks to improve safety in the preparation and administration of medication. Wear a safety vest with logo when they are working. The initiative has emerged within the Commission on Patient Safety of the Sanitary Management Area of Campo de Gibraltar and aims to prevent nursing staff from suffering interruptions while performing tasks related to drugs.

 

According to the Board in a note, numerous scientific studies claim that the frequency of interruptions during the administration of drugs is associated with a higher incidence of errors.

 

In daily practice, some of these interruptions can be the alarm of a nutrition pump. A relative asking about the health of a patient or doubts a partner; that is to say, a series of factors that cut the nurse’s task of preparation and administration and cause that when performing two tasks at the same time increases the risk of committing errors in that nursing intervention.

 

For this reason, within the Patient Safety Plan of the Sanitary Management Area of the Campo de Gibraltar and more specifically in line with a safe administration of medicines, a physical barrier will be placed to mitigate interruptions in the administration process and with it to diminish the errors in the medication.

 

Thus, from this week, the nurses of the fourth floor of hospitalization of Internal Medicine and Grammatology will wear reflective vests while they are preparing medication, with a logo on their back in which you can read ‘Do not interrupt me. I am preparing medication.

 

The objective is that when the health personnel themselves, well patients and family members, identify a professional with said yellow vest, do not interrupt them, in the case of not being able to wait until the end, look for another professional of the plant that attends them. To do this, explanatory posters will be placed on the plant and information about the initiative will be offered, requesting collaboration to be carried out successfully. The practice intended to be extended to the rest of the center in the coming months, once its impact has been assessed.
