Reflective vests and safety features equipped for schoolchildren

For the ninth time, full-round containers from the Gambia travel from Ostrava. Together with them, Africa has a large number of spare parts, including reflective vests and safety features for schoolchildren, as there is no rule in the country.

 

People from the Kola for Africa are heading to the black continent as well. Bicycles submitted will then sort out and hand over selected Gambian schools. He also instructs on-site mechanics to hand over service tools. Three employees and volunteers were gathered while loading two containers. “They were people from the Bicycles for Africa, Moment – a charity second hand and New Chance, where we live and where people are helped by the punishment. The Ostrava Educational Institute and two players of the women’s floor ball team helped us,” coordinator Radar specified.

 

He handled a snake by hand. “One by one, the wheels have to come out of the room full of up the stairs through the stairs into the container and put the wheels next to each other. In addition, 100 banana boxes of spare parts had to be used. Even in frosty weather we did it in four hours,” Radar said. “From here, we are already transporting to our warehouse in Gambia, where they are divided into Gambian schools. 100 pieces for each. Containers sail thirty-three days we pick them up personally in the harbor. In the month after the containers are dispatched, we are talking about a mission to the Gambia. They pick up bicycles, store, categorize, train the school management and school mechanics, and hand them over. Let us go in May, “the coordinator in reflective clothing said.

 

The stories of the bikes and their donors sometimes shoot

Wheels in the organization are received from anonymous donors. They can hand them over to collection points, which are about five dozen across the country. “The most active is probably the southern Moravia, then large disposable collections, last year in Pilsner and Liberec Zoo. Ostrava is average in number of rounds. For some donors we also know the story of the round. They sent us a bike from Little Lose nice in the Highlands, which were donated by a young aunt, who built it in 2013, was driving for a while, but died in a car accident. If we know the story, we try to watch and photograph the donor while loading, “she said.

 

Wheels repair convictions in Prison. “This is a prison program, prisoners are repaired voluntarily, and it’s the way to fix them for zero costs and often smart hands. We must have technical supervision in the prison so that the wheels meet what we expect from them, they have to get fit, adjust, lubricate, equip new souls, mantle and remodel, without derailleur they have a longer life and Gambia is everywhere,” Radar explained.

 

Wheels for Africa are a matter of cooperation between a number of donors and volunteers in yellow vest. “We cannot get around without logistics, transport partners and the Fire Brigade of the Czech Republic is helping us a lot. Without them, we would not get wheels from the collection points to the warehouse in Ostrava, from the warehouse to the prison and back. We do not even have a van, let alone a truck. We provide this service for free,” Radar said.

 

 

You have to change it for reflective vest

Updated: The Minister for Transport has specified how things are related to reflective vests. “The protective features of vests that conform to the earlier European Standard EN 471 are safe and meet the technical requirements. I would therefore like to reassure the drivers that they do not have to throw away the vests they bought earlier and buy new ones. It is true that the vest, which is part of the mandatory equipment, must comply with the European Standard (EN 471 or EN ISO 20471). However, no prescription shows that older vests meeting this norm are not right and people can not use them, “Transport Minister Dan wrote in his statement.

 

Usually, yogurt, meat, bananas will spoil, and perhaps the expiration time would be understood in the mandatory first-aid kit. But at the reflective safety vest? The European Union and therefore the Ministry of Transport do not like the reflex vests of Czech motorists reflecting, so you will have to replace those existing ones with some more reflective ones. The new standard, which is referred to as reflective vests, has been in force since January this year, said News. This is the application of the European directives governing the designation of products intended for the mandatory fitting of a vehicle.

 

The new standard is labeled EN ISO 20471: 2013 and the so-called Notification Person and its four-digit identification number must be included on the reflective vest. Old vests according to ČSN EN 471 or EN 20471 can not be used as part of mandatory vehicle equipment. The question is how much the police officers will rely on reflective yellow vests for inspections. However, this could be a crucial element if they can not find any violation of the law when thoroughly scrutinized. You know, the comma must be filled.

 

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.

Too many cyclists circumnavigate their safety

In winter, it is not only cold, but dark. At the time of going to work or college, the sun is not always up and at night, at the time of debauchery, it is sometimes already lying down. This early December was therefore the ideal time to carry out the operations that took place Thursday and yesterday before the colleges.

 

The police station had put the package by hiring a dozen officials under the command of Major Luray, head of the public order and road safety unit, as well as officials of the municipal police of these three communes.

 

And the result is edifying: on the two days of this operation of road safety very targeted, since concentrated on bicycles, 60% of the 62 cycles controlled, were not in conformity. The drivers of these two-wheelers have all received convocation for a subsequent presentation of their bikes after compliance. All except one, who won the pompom, since it was verbalized for crossing red lights in the red phase, on a non-compliant cycle, with a phone held in hand. “The total …” sighs Major Luray frowning.

 

“I am surprised by the lack of information from these two-wheelers. So we gave them an explanatory leaflet to drive safely, but also yellow vests for the purpose of being seen by other road users. These control operations will be renewed periodically “, warns the police still reassured by the” very good reception reserved for the agents by the schoolboys who understood that our operation was made for their security “. As for the heads of institutions, they applauded with both hands this intervention beneficial for all and could see that in the corridors, the students spoke only about that…

 

Mandatory equipment

Reflectors (retro reflective devices): red in the back, white in the front, orange on the sides and on the pedals. Wearing a certified retro-reflective vest is mandatory for all cyclists (and passengers) traveling outside the city, at night, or when visibility is insufficient, especially in the event of fog like the one that envelops Agent in recent days. The Code la route applies to cyclists and other users. Each offense is punishable by a fine.

 

 

 

Reflective vest requirement on board for motorcycle

Anyone who wanted to take a ride on the French roads riding a motorcycle, a scooter with three wheels or a quad, will be obliged to acquire the yellow safety vest to wear when stopped on the roadway. For offenders the fine ranges from a minimum of 11 to a maximum of 135 €.

 

Always keep on board…

With the new year, in France, it has taken a new “rule” that has already made up their noses at many motorcyclists from across the Alps: as announced earlier this year by the Government, to improve visibility on road and thus ensure greater security, as of January 1, 2016 the French biker – and for bikers we also mean the three-wheeled scooter owners or “light quadricycle fitted with fairing” – will in fact have an obligation to have on board a fluorescent yellow vest with reflective strips.

II offenders, specifies the decree, they will be punished by a fine of from 11 to 135 Euros, the same penalty provided for motorists who have none.

 

Despite the advice of the French Federation of Motorcyclists in Anger (FFMC), convinced that the use of the vest should be regarded as a personal choice, the law came into force: Beware therefore, if you happen to go to France during the next motorcycle trip, be sure to bring your reflective vest!

 

Reflective vest as a protest of Bus drivers

Jobson support the so-called challenge today express bus drivers across the country. Politicians Saying: We have enough competition at the low price; we do not like conditions in public transport. Terms of contracts is leading to low wages drivers.

Dozens of drivers in the Liberec region sat down today to call for their buses in a reflective vest. Politicians thus sati we have enough competition at the low price; we do not like conditions in public transport.

 

The orange and yellow vests rode today on the roads, most bus drivers from bus line. The local trade unionists in late September announced a strike alert and called for the fight against dumping prices in public transport and low wages drivers. If the problem does not begin within a month to act are ready to go on strike.

 

At the same time today, trade unionists brought to the Ministry of Transport Materials for the tender for bus services in the Hradec Kralove Region with a request to make the tenders were more taken into account other parameters, not just the lowest price. “In all those of fascicles nothing about the chauffeur,” said the chairman of basic trade union bus line George kitchenette. According to him, today’s protest orange safety vests supported the 4000 chauffeurs from across the country.

 

Unions protest in accordance with kitchenettes pushing for the creation of a working group in cooperation with the regions and the government to develop a uniform methodology by which would then list each regional competition for public bus transport. The tenders would be one of the key conditions of compliance with the minimum wage for drivers. The ministry submitted, inter alia, call to the tenders was taken into account several parameters other than low price.

 

This corresponds to 100 crowns per hour. Maybe bus drivers taken by The kitchens now 72 crowns per hour, while a monthly earn about 22 000 to 23 000 Crowns gross, but only at the cost of tens of hours of overtime.

 

According to the survey, ČTK wages for drivers in most transport companies in the Czech Republic under the average wage. The unions demand a revision of contracts, where the sole criterion of the lowest price and the urging dialogue at the level of the union, regional authorities and company management.

 

I can now choose the region by criteria other than price, Transport Ministry spokesman Tomas. An adjustment methodology tenders, the ministry will be representatives of trade unions to discuss further. But he also said that it is the Ministry of Transport, who sets specific tenders for the operation of its bus lines, but the region.

 

In addition to the Ministry of Transport unions intend to reach out and Regional Development Ministry, which is in charge of the tender, adding a kitchen. Eyesore drivers in yellow vest are particularly tender for public bus transport, which in September announced the Hradec Kralove region.

 

“But nowhere do not talk about how many people have driver minimum wage. There was the fact that we wages for some 120 crowns, which I think is outrageous. Ceiling someone that you can earn just enough, but not to think about that cannot go home for beggars cane, it seems to me from councilors from the Hradec Kralove region as very arrogant, “he added.
