It’s a vital choice! The survival time at sea can be multiplied by ten thanks to the safety vest. Should we then make it mandatory in the manner of the car seat belt and the two-wheeled helmet?

Nearly 100% of the people killed by a lifejacket this summer along the French coastline have been saved. If the topic is regularly discussed within ministries, the project to make the wearing of this safety equipment mandatory is postponed from year to year. In 20 years, wearing lifejackets for boaters or professional buoyancy clothing has more than doubled. Awareness campaigns, sensitized generation, improved ergonomics, equipment prices down. The number of equipped users has steadily increased. While mentalities have largely evolved on the subject, there still remain brakes and recalcitrant. Especially on sunny days or festive outings, where group dynamics tend to dissolve good habits. Overall, the maritime authorities observe during their regular checks at sea more than half of boaters equipped and relatively little total absence of safety elements on board. But the right vest is the one you wear on your back, not the one who sleeps in the inaccessible trunk!

Is it necessary to make its use obligatory? Some boaters who took the fold do not see any problem. “The seatbelt has been successful in bringing down the number of people killed on the roads. Why would not it work at sea? The gendarmes are not behind any motorists either… “Another story from Admiral Frederic Maurice, delegate departmental SNSM in Finisher.” The wearing of the reflective vest is obviously a good thing (especially during trips in the appendix) but we must trust the marine sense of users,” tempers him. “The sea remains and must remain one of the last spaces of freedom on earth. Should we try to over-regulate it? France does not have the means to enforce this obligation at sea. So let users enjoy the sea as they see fit! “.

On the other hand, no ambiguity for the volunteers of the SNSM perfectly equipped with each of their interventions. It is still among practitioners sailing that the vest is sometimes desired. But for fishing, no visible evolution, always as many pro fishermen with nothing on their backs, out of habit, feeling safe not too far from the coast. However, the regulation is without appeal concerning the fishermen-sailors, since a decree of 2007. “The wearing of the integrated buoyant garment (adapted to each type of fishing) is obligatory during the fishing operations, for the work on the bridge of at night, in reduced visibility and bad weather, by way of an annex and if the commander so requires according to the circumstances “, remembers the regional fisheries committee.

On the side of state action at sea, the subject is in the hands of the mission of boating and water recreation. The three maritime prefectures of the French seaboard have already expressed their wish to make the wearing of lifejackets or buoyancy safety clothing compulsory. But the measure is hard to impose, even if the rescue operations remain free and the search time at sea of a yachtsman not equipped is incommensurable.

A retired policeman formed twelve men and women with safety clothing who will work at the Escher from the beginning of school.

Asylum seekers are being employed in the student service from Bad Asch. Twelve refugees, including three women, completed an intensive training course, which was conducted in cooperation with the city police in reflective vest and the retired policeman Reinhardt Held. The Larder has already initiated such a project in several municipalities in the district.

“All efforts in the last years to find honorary officials for this task have failed,” says SP mayor Hanes Heidi. The asylum seekers are looking forward to the opportunity to work. Their area of use includes dangerous roads in the vicinity. They have an official identity card and are equipped with a safety vest and safety bar. The pilots have the right to inform and inform passengers of their duties.

“The asylum seekers can prove this way that they want to integrate into our country,” says SP-social town councilor Ines Schiller. “There are only positive feedbacks in those communities where they are already active in student rescue.”

Yesterday, November 29, 2016 year at the beginning of the session of the Municipal Council began public debate with the participation of Police in safety vest.

At a meeting with law enforcement they showed up councilors and village leaders from the municipality Pulaski. Unfortunately, the debate come not residents of the city and neighboring towns. The event was attended by the commander of the CPP Kroc, his deputy Norbert, a spokesman commands Barbara, head of the Traffic Department Marcie, deputy head of the Department of Prevention Krzysztof Jonah, police officers from the district Ritzy and Mayor Warsaw, Bogus, treasurer, secretary of the city Pulaski Robert and the secretary of the District Daniel. This is the second debate this year and in the same place. Its main theme was road safety.

At the beginning Showing slides safety indicators in the district Ritzy. Compared to last year they were satisfactory – most charts indicated halving incidents, accidents and traffic events. This year in accidents, killing 3 people – about half less than in 2015. Nodal is the bane of driving after alcohol. The police also appealed for wearing reflective vest at dusk. They explained that vest or even a wrist strap can save lives.

– Those things that we discussed are not pleasant for anyone, even for us, but every day of the encounter – at the end of the meeting said the commander of the Police in safety clothing. – We hope that the state in their environments dedicate a few minutes for it to say what we talked about. Each of us commits the offense, but we have a maximum limit. These are important things, because it’s all about the human tragedies – more or less. Feel free to talk to me or to the chiefs. Talk – if we speak, there will be black areas.

Traffic Police in safety vest recently triggered a cascade control action at national level. It focused is the verification by drivers holding a medical kit. At first glance, this seems a trivial matter, but things are far from being so. If you are stopped by traffic agents, in addition to documents, you have to look at their request and that your vehicle is fitted as fire extinguisher, medical kit and warning triangle. Nothing simpler, just that thing is not nearly so trivial. If the two triangles and reflective vest no problems at the medical kit and fire extinguisher are very likely to “fail the” test.

Why? Very simple: because the medical kit and fire extinguisher are likely to be the limits of validity expired. Because, let’s face who looks at these details. Each purchase kit and put it in the trunk. “I was stopped by police and asked to me, besides documents and verifying the existence of periodic technical inspection (PTI) to show and first aid kit. I quietly removed it and we showed it from traffic. But when they checked my feet were soaked. Perishable items, tell them so, it exceeded limits of validity. So I got 5 penalty points and a fine of 300 lei “, says FG, an amateur driver 54 years of Arad.

Argues and Valera in the last week has triggered a real “tsunami” of fines, precisely related to this issue. Are not yet signs that Arad these checks have increased dramatically. However remember that the issue in question is a constant theme at national level for traffic police in safety clothing. So it is better to make sure in advance that you are legal. I mean if first aid kit and fire extinguisher car validity period. No less important it is that all equipment first aid to be approved by RAR. The price of such complete set is around the amount of 100 lei. And a fine of three times more. Therefore, we believe it is helpful to open your eyes. That’s not to open the bag, more than you want.

A cyclist was hit by a car last night! Husband of 49 years is traveling the bicycle without it to be flagged accordingly and without wearing the safety vest. The driver who swerved left and struck noticed.

The victim was taken to an ambulance and taken to hospital in Novice, explained Andrew Lazar in safety clothing, Gory county police spokesman. Moreover, before leaving the road, the rider had consumed alcohol.

Now, the rider is hospitalized. He suffered several injuries and will remain under medical supervision. Fortunately, his life is not endangered. Such accidents occur frequently on roads in Gory because cyclists do not realize the danger when they go out on the road without having signaled bicycles and reflective vest especially at night. Cops make an appeal to all road users to move carefully.
