A firecracker him burned her forehead: five days of prognosis. It was not hospitalized, but he returned home.

 

Three principles of fire caused by barrels or fireworks: a fire two bins a cabin. Flames quickly extinguished by firefighters in reflective clothing. Police were called to a fight under the stage in the square, during the festivities. But when the officers arrived, the litigants had already left. Among the curiosities, at about 23:15 in the 113 he was reported a suspicious man with a bulge under his jacket, but it was only a bottle to toast.

The safety vest is included in the bicycle test

Creating safety vest, helmet on, wheel control of traffic safety consultant André Schmitz – and the bicycle examination can begin. The fourth graders of Paul School now took off their cycling proficiency test.

 

An event that is present every year in elementary school. For the participants it is something special every time. The boys and girls were able for the first time online practice. In the workbook for the third and fourth classes, the young road users in reflective vest train the right behavior on the road, the first time is also a code number. Even the elementary school students are practice using the PC.

Safety work with safety clothing

On the pylons fitters in safety clothing are traveling. What the men engaged in this dangerous profession connects.

 

Free lineman’s the Occupation of young men who are doing the Unterallgäu that, before we warn all children rightly resistant: They will soar on high-voltage pylons. “It’s not so wild,” appeased Andreas. “This looks more dangerous than it is.” All five assemblers that the LEW masts point 79 to 34 up towards retrofitted with an assurance riser system are Austrians and for years experienced and passionate recreational climbers. “People from Carinthia and East Tyrol are for several years leader in this industry,” says Foreman Alban.

 

But while Andreas is only five years there and thus an old hand, are two of his colleagues only since October this professional activity and are quasi yet learned. “However, one can never really in this profession,” quips Müller, “There is always something new” Certain conditions must not meet: “But of course you should be afraid of heights and crush resistant. However, it is not a teaching, so we have, for example, carpenters, electricians or bricklayers doing. Especially important is common sense, “says the Carinthian. The average age of the group is around 24 years; it is precisely what young people think it is good to have an unusual work. Andreas Müller knows anyone over 40 who exercise this profession. He and his colleagues get hazard and height allowance “and to get neat rum in the world.”

 

Current is only partially turned off

Nevertheless, the whole thing is no picnic: If the five climbing on the 45 to 50 meter high masts, only part of the high-voltage lines is not live. “The network operator has turned the 110,000 volt line on one side. On the other hand, the 220,000 volts flow but still, “said the 25 year old. Therefore checks the lead climber who first secured the safety cable above, using a device, if not yet current. Then a rod including copper cable is attached, so that the line for all cases is grounded and everything is safe for the workers “, Müller describes the first steps.

 

Around four to five masts equips the young troop per day according to the system. They often work twelve hours a day – in the summer and more. “The right weather does not exist: In the summer, it’s hot, in the winter cold and wet in the fall, does not matter,” says the 25-year-old Carinthian, is actually a skilled carpenter. And his colleagues affirm: “It does not freeze us real. When climbing is an already warm “Whereby it but also optimal function and safety wear reflective clothing – safety has finally top priority.

 

Thunderstorms can be dangerous

Merely storm could be dangerous to the climbers on the power poles. “If lightning strikes, it can migrate over several kilometers in the lead. Therefore: Immediately down when there is lightning in the area. Even if it seems so far away, “says Andreas Müller.

 

The harness for professional climbers looks a little different from the recreational climber and has a belt with a lot of bags and straps for tools and equipment that need to be taken up with the mast. Pliers, hammer, ratchet and the essays for this: Often the fitters must also haul up to 20 kilograms in the air. But even if the five men stressed enter casually, is one of the basic rules in their jobs, never to be careless, says Andreas in safety vest: “You really have always with it, otherwise happened before what. Even just a little drop, could be extremely dangerous – for the bottom “And if that climbing pylons to seem easy, for the miller has a tip:” What is really interesting driving by line trolley! These are cars – or racks – which are attached to the lines themselves and move from one pole to the next. This is the most exciting thing I’ve done so far. “

Police in reflective vest on the county’s roads

Periodically some time for traffic police in safety vest carry out actions that aim to eliminate the traffic person sitting down behind the wheel at double the gas.

 

On Monday early morning on the road – Stanomino launched another such action. Fortunately, not one is arrested in a state of intoxication. And also some people will wear reflective clothing on the road because the poor visibility of early morning with heavy fog.

 

In addition, traffic police officers equipped the person walking in reflective vests instructing about having to wear reflective elements outside built-up areas with poor visibility.

Police in safety vest let people be considerate on the road

The turn of November and December is a dangerous time for all road users. Changing auras forces the techniques of driving. Unfortunately, many drivers forget about it. The police in safety vest call for caution and common sense. Inappropriate speed for road conditions may be the cause of the tragedy.

 

Prevailing in our country today weather makes road conditions are getting very volatile, more treacherous and dangerous to both vehicular and pedestrian. Therefore, the traffic police are appealing to all, both for motorists, cyclists and pedestrians, with particular care and consideration.

 

Many drivers, it seems that the roadway is black and dry. Meanwhile, it may already be przymrożona, and therefore slippery, and in such situations, the wheels lose grip easily. Let us remember that in many places the road surface combined with rain, and often have the snow, increases the braking distance of the vehicle, in extreme cases, control may slip and you do not control the car. Overtaking in such conditions, overtaking, cornering can be very dangerous. Drivers should wear reflective clothing and remember to navigate the road with lights and obey the speed limits, and when the weather conditions are worse, to slow down the principle that the slower means safer. We call for it to not charge, think, and anticipate threats.

 

Especially need to be careful in depressions, on slopes, close to forests and water reservoirs – roadway there may be particularly slippery. Take extreme caution in the vicinity of pedestrian crossings. Also be careful when approaching them. When a pedestrian enters the passage control car cannot slow down.

 

A special appeal is also addressed to pedestrians not to enter directly in front of an oncoming vehicle. Even at a pedestrian crossing, make sure that the control has time to slow down. Of course, this pedestrian has priority on the passage, but here the principle of trust as the most applicable.

 

Each pedestrian and cyclist should also be aware of their safety and ensure that, in order to be visible. Vest, pendant, bracelet, or even a simple flashlight will make moving around the dimly lit road will be more visible to oncoming drivers. Reminder: from 31 August 2014. Every pedestrian who is moving after dark on the road outside the built-up area must be placed in a reflection visible to managers. It is true that traffic regulations do not impose an obligation to use reflective vests and reflective elements in the built-up area, but to a large extent they improve visibility. They give drivers valuable time to make a proper response – often saving life and health.

 

This period is also dangerous for motorcycles managers, who increasingly use their machines to late autumn, and even throughout the year. Adverse weather conditions affect the reduction of tire grip to asphalt and even seemingly harmless fall when you try hard braking can be fatal.

 

Let us remember – permitted speed during heavy rain or snow, or when frost does not always mean safe speed!

You should also be aware of the right and a legitimate use of the fog lights and daytime running lights (art. 51 of the Act “Law on Road Traffic”).

 

An additional difficulty in this period (not only for drivers) is often worse mood. A bad mood can affect the reaction speed and concentration, which should also remember moving on the roads.
