When sewage pipe was broke

In the afternoon, there was a rupture of a sewage pipe at the intersection of the streets in 19 and 104, the workers wore safety clothing immediately went to the personal place of the area of Urban Sanitation to begin with the tasks of repair of the problem.

The fault, which probably originated due to the aging of the conduit that is about 40 years old, occurred in a pipeline of the primary impulse network that collects the liquids pumped by 4 of the largest lifting stations of the city and undertakes in The maximum sewer that conducts the liquids to the Effluent Treatment Plant.

Before the fissure of the pipe the liquid began to flow cracking the asphalt and finally sprouting to the surface. Before this, we proceeded to decompress the pipe diverting the liquids by other ways, to relieve the pipeline and get it to work with less pressure to avoid spilling liquids by the road.

The sector that suffered the crack of the asphalt was fenced with a fence, reflective tape and indicator signs and it will remain that way during the night because to carry out the works to correct the inconvenience it is necessary the sunlight, since it is an area of many interferences in the one that join a branch of the aqueduct, sewer collectors, underground conductors and a pluvial pipe.

First thing in the morning the workers who wore reflective vests will begin to work to repair the sewage pipe.

Reflective vests play an important role in life

Since a powerful 7.1 magnitude quakes struck the region on Tuesday, emergency responders, soldiers, doctors and some teachers have been working around the clock trying to rescue any survivors in the collapsed classrooms at the Enrique Rébsamen primary school. The nameless heroes wearing a reflective vest showed up in the battle again.

As rescuers tried to clear a path to any survivors without further destabilizing the damaged school building, rubble was tediously and meticulously removed, bucket-by-bucket. A makeshift field hospital was built on what had previously been a basketball court, staffed by military doctors who were prepared to treat any survivors that might be extracted from the rubble.

Throughout the day, volunteers kept workers, soldiers, medical staff, victims’ families and even the media fed and hydrated with snacks and drinks. The whole operation was overseen by military officers and Mexico’s secretary of public education, who stationed themselves on a one-storey building overlooking the school playground.

As night fell over Mexico City on Wednesday, rain began to fall. With the possibility that lives could still be saved, and the threat of aftershocks that could cause further collapses, rescuers were battling the clock to save any survivors trapped beneath the rubble. Because of the low visibility in night and rain, reflective tape attached in the safety clothing of rescuers plays an important role in the scene. The reflection of the tape or fabric reaches 330+. Victims can find them at once in the low-visible condition.

Policemen handed out vests to pedestrians

Police officers from around the region distributed the reflective vests to unprotected road users on Monday. As part of the “Reflective Commune” campaign, they distribute reflective elements, meet with residents and ensure that it is worth being visible.

Policemen from the command during intensified actions looked not only at the behavior of pedestrians on the road, but also in the direction of pedestrians. For those moving along the road without a visible reflection, they passed on reflective vests. They made the pedestrians aware of how important the health and life of the pedestrians are in a prominent place. The policemen promoted the habit of wearing safety clothing not only outside the built-up area, but also in the built-up area.

During Monday’s intensified actions, police officers revealed more than 40 offenses committed by pedestrians and by pedestrians towards pedestrians. The most frequent offenses committed by pedestrians were crossing the road in a forbidden place, walking on the wrong side of the road, not using the traffic light. A few of the pedestrians were also punished for failing to comply with the provisions on the obligation to move along the road after dark outside the built-up area with a visible retro-reflective material.

A kayak with high-visibility colors and reflective material

Coast Guard crews were notified early Sunday morning that a 55-year-old kayaker had left from Bear Creek ramp near Hoboken and was late on his return time.

A crew from Station Hoboken and a helicopter crew from Air Station Elizabeth City launched to help search efforts with North Carolina Wildlife, Pamlico County Sheriff’s department and Pamlico County Emergency Management personnel.

The Pamlico Emergency Management boat crew located the kayaker with his kayak partially submerged. The kayaker was found without any working means of communication, reflective vest, high-visibility colors or reflective material on kayak. The man was also suffering from cold and wet exposure.

The man was transferred to local EMS and released shortly after.

“Wearing a safety clothing while out on the water may be the difference between life and serious injury or death in an emergency,” Cmdr. Matt said. “Kayakers should also carry a VHF-FM radio and a cell phone in a waterproof container to alert authorities quickly if assistance is needed.”

Common bugs for cyclists

Riding without a helmet and a reflective vest, a shopping bag on the handlebars, heavy cost conveyance, revaluation of power, alcohol, but also riding on pavements and crossings. These are the most common bugs for cyclists.

Riding without a helmet is a serious matter. “The risk of death after falling without a helmet on the head is nineteen times bigger,” warns Mire.

If you go shopping on a bicycle, then it is in his words in place to have a bicycle carrier with a basket. “The transfer of gardening equipment or harvesting of the garden can lead to a loss of balance,” he warns.

Especially for seniors, he recommends carrying a cell phone with him to call for help if necessary. He thinks of driving on pavements and crossings for a big disaster. “But it is only children up to ten years old,” explains Mire Poach.

A separate chapter is alcohol. “Zero tolerance applies throughout the Czech Republic, which also applies to cyclists. At present, some senators want to break this tolerance, they want to allow 0.5 per mile, “he said.

Mire commends that more people wear helmets and safety clothing. “The percentage of cyclists used by the helmet and safety clothing is steadily increasing, especially among parents who travel with their children,” he said.

But what’s the next thing a cyclist should have on his bike? According to Mire Poach, there are two independent brakes, orange, white and red reflectors, reduced visibility and lighting. “I also recommend to give bicycle reflective ribbons, reflective tapes to wires or wires to improve their safety. Reflective clothing, the vest is the best, “he said.

Co-coordinator Mire Poach has also cited frequent reasons for cyclist accidents: it may be inattentiveness, rethinking his abilities, or failing to comply with road traffic rules. But it can also be non-management. “For example, drinking, consuming food, handling light,” he warns.

Another reason for the accident may be the lack of priority. “The cyclist must realize that he is on a slower pace than when driving by car. It takes more time to cross the junction. “he explained.

It also highlights the need for wheel lighting. “The unlit traffic cyclist is visible at the last minute,” he said. You also need to watch cars. “One of the causes of accidents is also the impact on the door when the car driver opens the door while the bicycle passes by,” he said.

Bicycle accident statistics are sad: as Mire Poach said, in 2017 44 cyclists died of accidents, of which 37 was without a helmet. Four out of ten people were 65 years old. The worst year in terms of cyclist accidents was 1995, when 146 people died, the least accidents were in 2016 – at that time it was 39.

A man armed with a knife threatened to commit suicide

An incident at the City Hall of Bucharest. A man armed with a knife threatened to commit suicide. Police officers (who wore safety clothing)intervened on Wednesday in front of Capital City Hall for a man who, with a knife in his heart, threatened to kill himself.

The man was dressed in a reflective vest that he wrote “STAT NAZYST” and drew more swastikas. Also, at one point he took the knife to his heart and threatened to stab himself.

The cops (who wore reflective clothing with reflective tapes)finally locked up the man and led him to the station. For now, it is unclear why the man has done so.

During this incident, which lasted for several minutes, and after which there were no injured people, the traffic was blocked on Queen Elizabeth Boulevard. During this time, a session of the General Council of Bucharest took place in the mayor’s office.

Fight against the plastic soup in Oss

In Oss Saturday morning, the national kick-off is given for the National Day of Cleaning. Led by the Nederland Schroon organization, dozens of volunteers went out with a safety clothing, squeezer, bag, and gloves in the vicinity.

“Clean-up day is not so much about clearing things up, although it is great if it is cleaned up once,” says director Helene van Stephen of the Netherlands Schroon. It’s about children learning that they should not throw anything away. And other people see that the mess they throw away must be cleaned up. Then maybe the next time they think better before they throw something on the street or on the roadside. ”

Nationally, around 130,000 people (wear uniform clothing which sewn-on reflective tapes) have signed up to participate in the National Cleaning Day, but according to the organization many people also participate without having given up. According to Helene van Stephen, the popularity of cleaning up litter is due to the positive appearance that cleaning has.

“People who clean-up waste are no longer people with a community service. Someone who tidies up is doing a good job. It has become a positive thing. ” And the word plastic soup is inevitably linked to the clean-up day. The small plastic that flows through the streams and rivers of the Meuse and eventually the sea must be controlled.

“Why do not the first go with a team of people through the roadside to clean-up litter before mowing,” Menno van deer asks. “All the waste that is there is cut by the mowers, making it much more difficult to clean-up and disappears much easier in the ditch and in the plastic soup.”

It is the sixteenth time that a national clean-up day is being held. According to Nederland Schroon, more and more attention is paid to the outdoor areas. The mayor of Burgos Woodbine Boils also, armed with reflective vest, office chair, squeezer and garbage bag, cleaned up. , I have a dream, and that is that we once keep a national clean-up day, but the children are all very disappointed because we cannot find any more waste. ”

Minister Schultz van Hagen wears ‘safety jacket’

Why should not you look stylish in the construction industry as a woman? This is what traffic minister Schultz van Hagen must have thought. She did not wear a shapeless, reflective jacket on a working visit, but a ‘women’s reflective jacket‘: an orange, reflective blazer.

Rug invented the jacket because she was bothered by the lack of female clothing in the construction industry. Because a normal road worker’s coat, that really does not stand. “Then I would wear a jacket like that in size S and it would still be too big, it just did not look like a skirt,” says rug to RTL Niue’s. That’s why she asked for feminine clothing. “Then I was offered a pink overall and helmet, but I do not like that.” And there was no other thing.

That’s why she came up with the ‘cute ladies’ safety jacket’. Rug: “This is a symbol of” you can also be a woman in the construction industry. “And then you do not have to hoist yourself in a garbage bag.” The jacket is also fitted. “We women have a waist,” says rug. “At least let’s see them, and that waste is often hard to find for men in the construction industry!”

Rug gets a lot of enthusiastic reactions and gives the coat especially to women she meets in the construction sector, but also to politicians. In December, she gave him, together with Bookend Nederland-chairman Maxim, as a gift to traffic minister Schultz van Hagen. She has the coat in her car and carries him on working visits, such as yesterday.

The jackets with reflective fabric are for sale at Vermin from Nijmegen and cost 89 Euros each, excluding VAT. They are really only meant for companies, but, let the company know, if a private person comes along and wants to have the coat, that is not a problem.

Rug sees several possibilities for her safety clothing, in addition, to use in construction. “You can wear it on King’s Day or if the Dutch national team plays, but also for ready over’s it’s much better than the big standard safety jackets.”

Before the May weekend, they handed bikers reflective vests

In connection with the upcoming long weekend, in May, the Pavia Police Headquarters together with the Municipal Office organized an action called “Safe cycling picnic “.

Soaring temperatures and beautiful sunny weather have caused many of us to leave our cars in garages and change into bicycles. For the sake of cyclists’ safety, policemen from the road club together with the Municipal Office organized the campaign “Safe cycling picnic “.

On Friday (27 April), the policemen from the road route appeared on the streets. Shovels passing on two-wheelers received reflective vests, and kids additionally shone their wristbands.

The aim of the activities is the improvement of safety on the roads of unprotected road users by increasing their visibility. The vest’s founder was the Municipal Office. Safety clothing vests were made by the head of the Road Traffic Department – poke.

The drivers of the two-wheelers did not hide their satisfaction, confirming the usefulness of such actions for security.

Pedestrians and cyclists are called unprotected participants of the movement. They are named so because during an accident they cannot count on protection of security systems, which are located erg in the car (belts, airbags, or even the body itself). As a consequence, it also means that accidents involving pedestrians and cyclists usually end tragically. They do not have much chance against cars. Unfortunately, it often happens that they do not care about their own safety, but rather is the perpetrators of accidents.

Hi vis vests greatly increase visibility, and thus our safety on the road. It should be borne in mind, however, that the reflective vest does not release from the obligation of proper lighting and bicycle equipment. The long May weekend favors the organization of family cycling trips, so it is worth going to take care of safe travel.
