What do you need for Safe Vacation?

There are Warm rays of sunshine, the sound of waves hitting the shore and hot sand. Who would not want to break away from work and take a short break over the Baltic Sea? However, before we realize such a scenario, we need to keep in mind a few basic things and safety equipment.

 

Have you made a decision? Let’s go! If you have chosen the purpose of your trip to the Polish sea, you are most likely to get there by car. At this stage it is worth remembering a few things. We often forget that our car also requires proper preparation. Therefore, before traveling make sure to check tire pressure, oil level and refrigerant. Be sure to make sure all the lights and indicators are working, and no part of the car will raise your doubts. If you have them – go to the workshop for a review.

 

Everything works? Do not forget also about the appropriate equipment: car kit, reflective vest, or warning devices – not all you should but also you must have in the car. If everything works as it should, and in the car everything is in place, it’s time to set out.

 

The right luggage is the basis

Although it may seem that “it’s just Polish sea”, the right luggage is a necessary part of a successful trip. Of course everyone has to take into account personal preferences, but some things are universal. You will definitely need a rain jacket, warm sweatshirt, swimsuit and light clothing for hot days. In addition, every responsible traveler should bring a well-equipped first aid kit. It is good to have more advanced accessories with you: a breathing mask and a life blanket.

 

But dress and first aid kit are not all. It is also worthwhile to ensure adequate protection from the sun. Let us remember that it is worth to take the umbrella and the windscreen to the Baltic. For all of this, let’s remember about the right sunscreen that is adapted to our skin as well as the hydration of the body. Do not stay too long in the sun, because it can end with a sun stroke.

 

Safe seaside relaxation

If we were able to remember all the things and finally reached the desired Baltic, then we can indulge in blissful laziness. However, remember that with the sea there are no jokes, so we only swim in the area guarded by WOPR rescuers and safety vest. Especially since the most common circumstance of drowning is bathing in unguarded but undefended. Second, under no circumstances do you combine rest with alcohol. We do not push ourselves too, because our body need not be accustomed to exercise, and then it is not difficult for the accident.

 

Lights and reflective vests for unprotected road users

Bicycle is becoming increasingly popular means of transport, and cycling trips are a favorite way of spending free time. There are also people who take the bike for their sporty passion, or they think that a wheelchair is a great alternative to a car or public transport. To enjoy the holiday comfort and pleasure of riding a bike, police officers from the Social Prevention Team of the Police Headquarters in Lublin, 27.07.2017, carried out preventive actions, as part of the campaign “Turn me on safety”, in which they gave bikers lamps and Reflective vests, funded by the foundations of KGHM Polkas Mired SA.

 

Since pedestrians are also particularly vulnerable groups in road crashes, police officers also hand out reflective vests at the time of the crash, and resemble the basic principles of how to navigate the road. The action met with great acceptance and satisfaction. Thanks to lighting and reflectors, people will be more visible and thus safer on the road.

 

Taking into consideration the high interest in the activities and the visible on the road improving the awareness of people who are increasingly moving with safety vest, reflectors and efficient lighting, the Libyan police announced the autumn resumption of action.

 

– The policemen also recall that one of the most important rules of road safety is to: be visible and visible. The amended Road Traffic Law requires all persons who, after dark, to move in undisturbed areas, must use reflective elements. A cyclist, or pedestrian, who moves at dusk without glare, can see the driver at a distance of about 20 meters. Visible reflections increase this distance to over 150 meters – says the young asp.

 

Remember, however, wearing such items is not only a duty, but above all our safety! One small reflective tape can save our lives.

 

 

New Reflective T-shirts for upcoming season

The new season not only includes our training and racing activities, but also the product ranges of many world manufacturers of treadmill. Are the summers even warmer than ever before? What did the producers themselves do for us and the whirlwinds of nature? There are “clever” fabrics, reflective materials, aluminum heat exchangers, compressing second skin, and much more in store shelves.

 

This shirt comes with an unprecedented novelty – adaptive fibers. The fiber should change density depending on whether you are moving, sweating, warming up. Individual yarn stitches are spaced when you are active, allowing for faster sweating and excess heat. On the contrary, when the activity drops, the eyecups will snap and protect you from the cold. Material (polyester, nylon) is comfortable and elastic enough not to restrict movement. The t-shirt also carries reflective elements that will increase your safety in less visibility.

 

As the name implies, this trick is also designed to ensure that you do not overheat when running at higher temperatures. The polyester reflective fabric itself is sufficiently cross-linked, and it also carries proven and even more polished technology of miniature aluminum discs that drain excess heat from your body. Reflective strips on the sleeves, the large logo on one of them also acts as a reflector.

Under Armor Alter Ego

 

The American manufacturer is holding the proven superhero themes. Even you can become Superman, Batman and many others. In addition, you reveal almost the second skin in the trick. It is a compression material that sticks directly to the body, while giving it absolute freedom of movement and removing excess heat. The runners will appreciate the fact that even at the marathon there is no ride anywhere.

 

Asics also beats the new season with a new T-shirt. Here the manufacturer binds to seamless technology. And much less seam, more cross-country comfort. The mixture of materials (polyester, polyamide) is very light and durable. Reflective elements on the chest and back may also be absent.

 

Another American company, which was founded just two years after the marathon came to the Olympics, is starting to make a corner in our country. In the new season, the trick is more than promotional. Ultra-lightweight material with reflective element in tight cut will also delight in flat-seam joints. A smooth drainage and comfort will ensure a delicately structured fabric.

 

 

Reflective umbrella – Visible and dry in rain and debris

Rain in combination with dark makes the view worse for motorists. With our Reflective umbrella, you can now keep you dry and get well aware of rain and debris!

This telescopic reflex umbrella has a high-reflecting surface that makes you visible in the dark. Keeping you dry, visible and safe! Reflective material is shining sharply white in the dark, near lights, such as street lamps and car windows.

 

Everyone likes to get attention! But it is especially good to be alerted by car drivers when you are a pedestrian, biker or biker. Those with reflexes can be seen by car drivers much more clearly and from further distances than those without.

 

At Reflex Movement, you can learn more about reflexes and the benefits it makes for you and your visibility in traffic. You can also trade reflexes. All our reflexes are CE approved. In our web shop you will find hanging reflexes, soft as hard, reflex sleeves, reflective vests, magnetic reflexes, and reflexology animals and slap wrap reflexes.

 

The reflex movement is owned and operated by Jessica Mossberg, entrepreneur and entrepreneur.

“My vision is to make adults use reflexes more widely. Parents are very skilled at providing their little children with reflexes, and children’s outerwears often have insured reflexes. In our adults (and adolescents) the clothes are often dark, so reflexes make big Even if you live in an illuminated urban area you need reflex. I, as a numeral, are extremely aware of the fact that there may be people I do not see by the way, have had to brake hard even at illuminated crossing points, just because I Did not see the person who started to cross the road. Then it is important to understand those reflective elements are needed year round and not only in the winter. ”

 

Traffic will distribute this year 2000 vests to pedestrians

Person over 65 years of age, dressed in dark clothing that walks near his house alongside roadsides, without a reflective vest and crosses outside the pedestrian crossings. It is the most common profile of fatalities due to abuse in Galicia, one of the accidents in which the General Directorate of Traffic (DGT) focuses its awareness campaigns. So far this year, five pedestrians have died in the community, wounded by a vehicle, which in only two months accounts for 35% of the 14 fatalities in all of 2015.

 

None of them wore a vest, so from Traffic they have decided to reinforce the awareness of the pedestrians about the importance of making themselves visible to the drivers with a joint campaign with the Junta that includes the distribution of 2,000 vests during this year -400 before Week Santa- and talks in the town councils, especially in those that concentrate more black points of outrages. It will be an information campaign in which it will not be fined, although in the cases of recidivists “other measures will have to be taken”, according to warned yesterday the Government delegate in Galicia, Santiago Villanueva.

 

Traffic last year designed a risk map of abuses involving half a hundred Galician town councils. As explained yesterday by the Lieutenant Colonel of the Civil Guard Association of Traffic in Galicia, Javier Molino, the actions in the most conflictive nuclei with the reinforcement of the surveillance or the improvement of the infrastructures explain that in the current map only repeat five municipalities, despite the fact that the total number round again half a hundred when analyzing the 170 serious and slight violations of 2015.

 

The dispersion in Galicia, the aging of the population and the complex road network – with 17,000 kilometers of main network and 55,000 of interurban and local – are, according to Villanueva explains, the causes that explain the high numbers of abuses in the community although it qualified That the 14 pedestrians killed in 2015 are three less than the previous year and 72% below the 50 recorded in 2005.

 

Molino points out that these “singularities” place Galicia five points above the national average each year in terms of deaths due to abuses. For this reason, it is important to insist that users use these elements also when it is daytime – not only from dusk, when it is obligatory due to the loss of visibility – in order to avoid any failure of the driver.

 

In the educative talks, the agents will remind the elderly people of the importance of always wearing a safety vest and also walking on the left and in case there is always a circular walk through it. This group is the most vulnerable to abuse by having less mobility to react and less vision to calculate the distance of the vehicle. In addition to the talks focused on this group, for Lieutenant Colonel Molino it is “fundamental” that the environment of the elderly remind them how to walk and cross the road. In the same vein, the head of Traffic in A Corunna and head of the DGT in Galicia, Victoria Gomez Debarred, said that “family support” helps to overcome the “rejection” of the elderly to the vest for being “a Flashy garment “but that can be your” lifesaver “.

 

The Ministry of Environment will put the 2,000 vests of the campaign available to the agents, an action included in the road safety plan 2016-2020 of the Junta that also plans to build 170 kilometers of pedestrian paths. The Ethel insisted that nothing can substitute “the caution” of pedestrians and drivers. In the case of the latter, lowering the speed to 50 km / h where there are houses and people transit reduces by half the number of pedestrians killed.

Reflective material is a highly recommended safety measure

Many runners wonder if it is advisable to go running with rain and wind. Today we tell you what risks exist and the best tips for running safely.

 

It rains and you want to run … But, is it advisable? Wind and rain can be factors to make us stay home and stop training. But if it rains several days in a row, are you sure you want to stay at home? If you are a passionate runner we are sure that it will not be so. That’s why today we tell you the risks of running with rain or wind and the best tips to do so.

 

Risks of running with rain or wind

As you can imagine, the risks are more related to the amount of rain or wind that we face. It is clear that in the event of a thunderstorm or excessive winds in which we cannot control our movements, it is best that we do not run. If you want to train, that day you can do some exercise routine at home. Here are some of them: Exercises for oblique abs: The most effective and complete home body routine: What is and complete guide.

 

But if the rain or wind is moderate and bearable, you can go running by taking some precautions that we will tell you next, such as making the routes you already know, avoiding earthy soil or use reflective vest. You do not have to fear a cold. Unless you are already hatching one, you do not have to get sick after a running session in the rain or wind, as long as you carry out these tips. Take note!

 

Tips for running with rain or wind

Some runners definitely cannot stand the rain, and if they catch them in the middle of a race, they just stop and stop exercising. Of course it’s your choice, but if you do not want to stop training or want to participate in races, ideally, you keep running and do not stop for rain. If you know that it can rain or it is already raining, you can leave much more prepared to give everything. Take note of these tips that will help you run in the rain or wind safely and confidently.

 

On rainy day do not set goals of effort. Ideally, you should do a continuous race that does not require stops, jumps or movements that can cause you to slip through the water or become unbalanced by the wind.

Make a known route and if possible, with a non-earthy terrain, since with the water it can get muddy and the wind can cause sand to get into your eyes. If possible, asphalt on bad weather conditions is the best option. Being a porous soil, it will prevent you from slipping.

Avoid fast roads. Ideally, in a day like this you run on running tracks or parks, but if you do not exist or you do not have access to them, at least try to run in areas where cars do not pass very fast. It will be much safer.

Keep in mind that the wind and rain remove visibility to cars on the road, so wearing a vest or reflective bands is a highly recommended safety measure. Also wearing light clothing or flashy colors is a good choice for those days.

 

In the case of running with rain, wear waterproof running shoes. If you do not have it, choose the ones with the best gripping soles, essential to avoid slipping and injury in the rain. So that you do not get blisters when you get your feet, use more Vaseline than usual in the ankle areas or sensitive areas of your foot. You can also apply Vaseline under armpits or nipples, to avoid excessive rubbing with wet clothes, in case you do not wear raincoats.

Your visibility should be your priority to run with confidence and safety, so protect yourself with a cap or visor in case of rain or running glasses in the case of wind. You will prevent water and dust particles from entering your eyes.

A brochure collects safety tips for cyclists.

The Government of Navarra has published a brochure, with the motto “Live safely by bike”, with safety vest and recommendations for cyclists, a group that between 2010 and 2015 has recorded 169 accidents in Navarra, with 12 people dead, 38 severe injuries and 124 minor injuries.

 

The triptych, which has been edited 32,000 copies, has versions in Spanish (24,000 units) and Esker (8,000 units), emphasizes the use of helmet, visibility (lighting, clothing and reflective), avoiding distractions (Use of mobile phones and headphones) and not to drive under the effects of alcohol and / or drugs.

 

It will be distributed in educational centers, health centers, cycling clubs (through the Cycling Federation of Navarre), bicycle sales and repair shops, Polo Park, and other entities and groups related to cycling. The publication of this publication is one of the initiatives taken within the working group on cycling safety created a year ago in the framework of the Navarre Road Safety Strategy.

 

Helmet use reduces mortality by 85%

As regards the helmet, the publication recalls that its use is always mandatory for children less than 16 years of age and, in the case of older people, when traveling by road. The hull must be well secured and must be approved by the EC. As he recalls, helmet use reduces mortality by 85% and risk of head injuries by 70%. Distractions are the first cause of accident and the elements that are most frequently involved in it are the mobile phone and the headset. In addition, the use of both objects is prohibited when cycling.

 

Ensuring visibility is another of the recommendations, since some of the accidents occur because drivers do not see cyclists. To do this, remember the need to install lighting on the bike. Specifically, the regulations in force require a white position light on the front, a red position light on the rear, and also on the rear a red reflector that is not triangular.

 

Also recommend wearing light clothing, especially yellow or orange of high visibility and, if possible, use reflective vest. Finally, reference is made to the consumption of alcohol and drugs, indicating that the driving of bicycles under the effect of these substances constitutes a serious fault. The maximum permitted alcohol rate is 0.25 mg in expired air.

 

Motorcyclists should wear a reflective vest

The Government decided to extend to the whole country the measure that obliges motorcyclists and their companions to wear

The Government decided to extend to the whole country the measure that obliges motorcyclists and their companions to wear reflective vests, which must also have printed the domain of the vehicle, which should also be placed in the case.

 

Since its implementation will be mandatory the use of such elements, otherwise the police will be able to apply economic fines and even retaining the wheels, said from the National Road Safety Agency, which official the implementation of the measure.

 

The purpose of the provision is to reduce acts of insecurity, criminals who use motor vehicles to reach the scene of the assault and escape quickly. As usually these episodes are carried out by two people, the mandatory of the high visibility vests and helmets with the registered patent also rules for the companion.

 

This resolution is already in force in the province of Buenos Aires and will be extended to the rest of the country. In this sense, as in the province of Buenos Aires, those working at service stations will not be able to fuel vehicles whose owners do not have a vest and helmet and the domain printed on each of those elements. San Rafael currently rules an ordinance that allows stationers to refrain from refueling motorcyclists who travel without the helmet.

 

In our city the possibility of making the measurement of the safety vest and helmet with domain generated rejection of those who use the bike as a means of transport.

Those who reject this provision allege that it is “discriminatory” and can be easily breached.
