Stab safety vest for people

The Hague city carrier HTM begins with a test in which employees are equipped with plug-proof vests. Currently wearing ten inspectors such safety vest, but decided in March that all inspectors get one.

 

HTM wants to protect its employees from becoming the violence that is increasing more grotesque forms.

Yet there are not only proponents of the initiative, the safety coordinator acknowledges in AD. “We want to give our people a cannonball security,” he says with wearing safety clothing. “It may not be true that an auditor suddenly feel a kind man of steel, someone who imagines himself invulnerable.”

 

Possibly the stab vest will soon be required to risky days and times, such as weekends, “when the drink is the man.” On other days, the safety reflective vest can be worn “voluntary”.

Safety vest increased safety in the warehouse

Of course, safe work begins and ends with the forklift. What measures we take, even with the safest truck in the safest warehouse continues to make it possible accidents. Nevertheless, technical aids can indeed contribute to increasing safety. In this section we put five tools for you below. Part two will follow another five.

 

Show yourself

A pedestrian involved in four out of ten truck accidents. The problem is that often leaves much to be desired visibility of pedestrians. That is certainly true of men in gray suits who are another unknown in the warehouse. A simple and inexpensive measure is attracting a fluorescent safety vest, so pedestrians are often visible from a great distance. For fixed warehouse employees is workwear in bright signal colors, may be provided with reflective strips, a good alternative.

 

Look in the mirror

Fluorescent vests help obviously not as pedestrian conceals packed pallet racks or other obstacles. In that case on unclear points is a godsend. With it is possible from every direction of travel and the left or right at any distance in order to look at the corner of a rack. Also help here fluorescent vests and signal colors to quickly identify approaching pedestrians in the small mirror.

 

Warn with light signals

Reversing visibility remains a problem. A forklift driver looking over his right shoulder will see pedestrians and other traffic from the left rather well arrive. This is different to traffic from the right derived from the viewpoint of the driver from a ‘blind spot’. Therefore let trucks beep when they are put in the ‘backward’. A popular alternative is an LED lamp on the cage – with names like blue spot or floor spot – during reversing a typically blue light projected on the floor. Pedestrians who cannot see the truck itself even be warned by the usually fast approaching next light spot.

 

Watching with cameras

Another problem remains the view from a great height. Who with a truck has ever put away a pallet at eleven meters, knows the problem. Try this situation from the driver’s seat once again to estimate the height. If it is not possible to accurately position the forks, it is likely that the pallet falls down. A camera on the fork combined with a monitor in the cab offers the driver a view that he needs to pick or put away pallets at height.

 

Throw blockages

Cargo can fall as drivers in reflective vest try to place a pallet at locations that are not big enough. Think for example of which pair of locations on the upper girders of pallet racks which are less high because of pipes, roof trusses or ventilation grilles than surrounding locations. In warehouses in which drivers are controlled by a warehouse management system, it is possible to block these locations with the software. That means that no driver ever is instructed to place a pallet. If it is going too far, the WMS can be tuned such that upon impact of activity is taken into account, the height of the pallet and of the storage.

Safety vest avoid accidents of Indiscipline cyclists

Deviations cyclists without safety vest accounted for the third question that led to serious traffic accidents amid which occurred 634 accidents (10.18% of total accidents) resulting in the death of 86 people and seriously injuring other 553.

 

Thus, 6 and 7 October, the Romanian Police acted on roads across the country to combat indiscipline cyclists. Traffic controls have resulted in implementation of 11 317 sanctions for breaching the provisions on public roads, of which 2,808 for offenses committed by cyclists, pedestrians committed 727, 526 and 31 committed carters.

 

To travel safely in traffic, the Romanian Police in reflective jacket reminds cyclists that on a public bicycle must be equipped with braking device effective means audible warning light white or yellow face, red light backwards and the least one reflector and bike before entering roadways priority must be given priority reduced speed and pass other drivers. “The change of direction, even if priority crossing make sure other road users understand the intention! Ride as close to the right edge of the road! Port helmet and reflective vest is a recommendation that can save lives “, said representatives of the Romanian Police.

Reflective vests reduce the risk of traffic accidents

Entry to the school for each child is a big life change. However, brings many positive changes, such as new friendships, new knowledge and skills. Not only stay in school but also to the way it can be difficult for a child. Therefore, we should prevent all risks, including conflicts of a child by a moving vehicle.

 

Many of the accidents occur in poor visibility, easy way to protect the child in this case is the use of reflective elements such as reflective vests, belts and other materials that can be attached to clothing, shoes and school bag. These materials allow the driver to register the pedestrian at a distance up to 200 m, while the walker dressed in dark clothing is seen at a distance of 18 m and in light clothing at a distance of 55 meters.

 

“Because all of us to lives and health of our children depends receive from us all Prague first graders reflective vest, which will guide and protect you during journeys to school,” said Deputy Mayor that the lives and health of our children, are the most valuable and most important what we have. Therefore, it is in all our interests to protect them at all times.

 

The main town in Prague this year, we have prepared for all first-graders in Prague reflective safety vests. Distribution to individual schools provides municipal police officers.

Police handing out reflective vests instead of fines

The basic rules of the road “safety vest – see and be seen,” warned the driver Hoar police during Thursday’s pre-emptive action. This event joined the Police Presidium, in cooperation with the Czech Insurers’ Bureau from 15 November nationwide preventive actions focused on increasing visibility for motorists.

 

Traffic policemen together with the spokesperson of drivers talk on the subject and gave them high visibility vest, which is designed for co events on the road.

 

For example, if a driver for the technical defect or traffic accident rises outside the village on the road, they must always wearing a reflective vest, which is required to be in the vehicle.

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.

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.

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.

The pedestrian would be recognized by the car – at a rate of still about 21 kilometers per hour. A person with reflective clothing contrast visible from about 125 meters away.

5 tips for biking in winter with safety

Anyone traveling on snow and ice with the wheel, which come to meet the producers: More and more winter tires are sold for bicycles. Experts clarify whether this purchase is worthwhile and what is there to consider when snow still rides. Winter riding is cold and dangerous, driver always wear safety vest and warm clothing to keep safe.

 

  1. Maintenance

Cold, moisture and road salt to make the bicycle art to provide – and the model is still so robust. The bike expert Ulf Hoffmann from the Sifting Ware test recommends in the book “The Bicycle Book”, the Bowden cables to lubricate well with thin oil or Teflon grease so that brake circuit and not be stiff. Greased includes screws and levers as well as the bicycle lock, so they do not freeze up in frosty temperatures. Little help there, however, if the chain slips. This can happen quite quickly in slush when ice is between the cracks. Therefore, the General German Bicycle Club recommends that before each trip to check brakes and light, the wheel more often to clean – especially the chain, which must then be oiled again afterwards.

 

  1. Winter tires

An obligation for snow tires for bicycles, there is not, it means the ADFC. But more and more cyclists equip volunteer to: “The proportion of winter tires for cyclists has increased,” said the spokesman of the manufacturer Continental, Klaus Engelhard. Most of the commercial models have a special lug pattern that grips well in the snow, with ice and snow, but offers little friction. For driving on packed snow and ice advises retailers to tires with spikes – with small pins made of metal or carbide.

 

  1. Traffic Regulations

The risk of falling in winter trips by bike is particularly high. But damages to fallen cyclists only be expected if the municipality has neglected its winter service, cited the legal expert of the ADFC, Roland chicken, from a judgment. Bike paths need only be cleared or sprinkled if they are considered important traffic. Or it is a dangerous section of road, slow experience has shown that the cyclist, dodge or change its direction of travel. For road mouths of law expert warns chicken Caution: Do not fall automatically into this category. A judgment of the Federal Administrative Court states also: If a bike path not scattered or free of ice and snow, the road, however, already, the cyclists must also street dodge.

 

  1. Clothing

The optimal outerwear for cyclists who are traveling even at freezing temperatures, should be loud ADFC “be thin and breathable, windproof and water-repellent”. Ulf Hoffmann, the onion principle advises: “. If possible, draw several layers one above the other,” He keeps fleece clothing for the best solution. In addition, there are shorts that will protect against the legs and shins by water- and windproof material from cooling down.

 

Be seen mainly: When choosing the clothes the rule applies. “Therefore necessarily reflective clothing or a reflective vest attract” advises Hoffmann. “The gloves should be provided with reflectors.” So in the dark hands are better perceived before turning. Thus, the head stays warm and dry, advises Hoffmann on the helmet or seal open face with tape.

 

  1. Light

At present, the sun rises shortly after 8am on and about 17 pm under. People who drive to commute to work by bicycle; it therefore should do well lit. The Hoffmann Foundation holds a hub dynamo for the first choice: No loading, no battery change.

Dynamo headlamps are commonly referred to as reliability, low maintenance, and as always ready for use. Even if the cyclist must stop at a traffic light, the lamp remains lit thanks light function. The Sifting Ware test recommends paying attention to additional functions: To offer some lamps, a special daytime running lights or a USB port, can be supplied with power via the while driving Smartphone or Navies.

 

The advantage of the battery and battery headlamps is that they offer strong light in the state permanently evenly. However, the batteries must be recharged periodically – either via a USB port or power plug. Nevertheless Hoffmann recommended using battery-powered LED lights with reflective material next to the Dynamo: “They provide an extra margin of safety.”
