Which hunters are subject to?

The hunt opens this Sunday, September 16. The season lasts until February 28, 2019. The practice is highly regulated. Here are the safety rules.

 

The departmental hunting management plan includes the rules for hunting safety. It is currently being renewed and will be presented by the president of the hunters and the director of the Departmental Federation of hunters, Thursday, September 13, during the session of the Chamber of Agriculture.

 

“Three incidents last season”

Hunting is a highly regulated practice. Hunters must respect certain prohibitions and obligations. “The Yvonne is a department concerning the practice of the hunt, assures the assistant to the head of department of the National Office of the hunting and the wildlife, Jean-Marie. There were only three incidents. This is carelessness. Shots at homes and a dog hit by a bullet. There were no human victims, otherwise, it would be accidents. ”

 

Here are five safety rules imposed on hunters:

 

1.A prohibit the use of firearms and hunting bows on the right-of-way (shoulder, ditch and roadway) of tarmac roads in the public domain and on railways or in the rights-of-way and enclosure of railways.

 

2.A prohibition on any person within range of a rifle or bow of any of those roads, roads or railroads to fire in their direction or above.

 

  1. Prohibition to fire towards electric transport lines or their supports and telephone lines.

 

4.A prohibition of any person within range of a rifle or hunting bow of stadiums, public meeting places in general and private dwellings (including caravans, sheds, garden sheds), as well as buildings and constructions dependent on airports, shoot in their direction or above.

 

5.For hunters, chaperones and trackers during big-game beats to wear high-visibility fluorescent equipment such as a harness or a reflective vest with reflective material.

At the beginning of the school year

On Tuesday, September 11th, the new school year begins. The students will head back to the schoolhouses in droves. But after only a few weeks, the little ones will have to master the way to school on their own. In order to exclude the risk of accidents on the way to school as completely as possible, the police inspection of Walsenburg appeals to the rationality of road users.

 

“Send your child on the way in time!” is a police advice. Because the freshmen have to be able to manage their way to school in peace, without hectic rush and panic. The possibility that the first graders are distracted on their way to school should be taken into account.

 

The law enforcement officers know from Experienced: “Haste in traffic can be deadly!” And they advise all schoolchildren, not just the new schoolchildren, to dress reflective vests so that they are well seen even in bad weather by other road users. In doing so, parents should make sure that hoods do not restrict the child’s field of vision and do not lead to tunnel vision.

 

At the beginning of school, the first years of the traffic guard receive a reflective garment in a signal color, a high visibility vest, a harness, a cap or similar. The police ask the parents: “Insist that your child also puts on the reflective clothing on the way to school. The basic rules for the safe way to school are: “See and be seen!”

 

In principle, it is also to be welcomed from the point of view of the police if the children drive to school by bicycle and are not driven by their parents every day by car. The way to school by bike is from the point of view of the police but especially dangerous because the children would have to focus on driving. Therefore, parents should let their child go to school alone with the bike, if it has successfully passed the bicycle test in the fourth grade, advise the law enforcement officers. In addition, parents should make sure that the bike is safe and secure. Even trifles, such as a missing reflector, could already be fatal to children on the road if they are overlooked in the dark.

The nationwide ADAC warning vests campaign

For a good cause, the Minister of Transport immediately went to the ground: Bernd Buchholz perched on Monday morning in the auditorium of the Claus School to talk on equal terms with first graders on the subject of safety in traffic. It was the start of the nationwide ADAC warning vests campaign.

 

“I’m here today so you can safely get to school in the morning,” the visitor explained to about 75 girls and boys. Not only do they belong to the smallest road users: because children have a smaller field of view and a poor locating ability. They cannot perceive dangerous situations as well as older ones. Besides, they do not react so fast.

 

Therefore, it is all the more important that the other road users recognize the offspring in time. So that the first graders with reflective tapes can be seen more quickly in the dark, the ADAC Foundation launched the West Action in 2010. The motto: “100 meters ahead, who can decide.”

 

Sometimes the advantage of the all-round reflective vest is even greater, the ADAC calculates: in dark clothes, children in the dark can only be recognized from a distance of about 25 meters – wearing reflective clothing – after all, it’s already 40 meters. With the reflective safety vest, it even reaches 140 meters. Due to the eye-catching hood and the long cut the donated luminous clothing also protrudes from the back beyond the satchel.

 

“You promise me that you always put them on,” Minister Buchholz admonished his young listeners. Over the next few days, more than 22,000 reflective vests will be distributed in Schleswig-Holstein.

This is Runners world’s favorite item

No running shoes, pants or vests. Markel and Elise from Runners world choose an item that really fits this period of the year: LED Sport Vest. A reflective jacket that provides 360 degree visibility. Handy if you want to run in the dark.

 

For the last three years Elise and Markel have been responsible for many sporting. At Runners world you cannot only buy sports equipment, but also have it fitted or ask for advice.

 

360 degree visibility

Do you want to run round in the evening? Then the LED Sport Vest is a must! With four white LEDs on the front and four red LEDs on the back, you stand out well. In addition, there is 360 degrees LED lighting on the reflective vest, so you are illuminated on all sides. In addition to a piece of lighting, reflection is also integrated. So you can safely walk in the dark. For the fans, the sport vest is available in yellow and pink.

Work clothes are also part of the corporate identity

“Workwear is used in many sectors of activity, in some cases it is used to avoid certain risks for workers, in others it is simply a way of identifying the staff of a company, but in most cases it ends up becoming something more than part of the corporate image of the company “indicate from Valera.

 

Law 31/1995 in relation to the prevention of occupational hazards obliges employers to equip their workers with personal protective equipment (like reflective vests and helmets ) when the risks cannot be avoided collectively. That is to say, any equipment -clothes between them- destined to be taken by the worker to protect him from one or several risks. Examples include shoes with safety toecaps, high visibility, antibacterial or thermal clothing; anti-cut gloves and a long etcetera. And it is time to take another step and, since it is necessary – with or without the law – to personalize it and make it part of the corporate image itself.

 

This type of garment manages to stand out from the crowd, create a collective conscience in relation to the need for safety of its workers and contributing to improve the corporate image of the company. On the other hand, it should be noted that workers who wear uniforms with reflective materials have a greater sense of belonging to the company than those who do not use it, which translates into higher final productivity.

 

“When choosing the right uniform, we must take into account various factors such as functionality, freedom of movement, ergonomics, safety and comfort, which are why the advice when purchasing these garments is an essential requirement. , especially because the security itself is part of the image they project and that can make a client to decide for the brand when they see their work commitment, “they comment on Valera.

 

In view of all the above, there is no doubt that the use of safety clothing by workers entails too many advantages that should not go unnoticed by entrepreneurs, both new and existing.

Reflective ideas improve the safety of children

Safety of children on the road and learning about traffic rules are the goals of the “Reflective school” competition. One of the institutions participating in it is the Primary School of the “Elementary” Foundation.

 

At the end of the competition, the school celebrated a festival crowning the efforts of students, teachers, firemen and policemen.

 

As the representative of the branch Jack informs in the presence of the representatives of the Parents’ Council, the police and the guard, all the “reflective” activities were mentioned from the beginning of the year to the end of October.

 

During the campaign, all students were equipped with reflective vests and reflective materials to improve their visibility on the road. There were educational activities related to road safety and to preparation for the bicycle treadmill exam.

 

A reflective happening and walks around the area were organized to remind residents of the importance of reflections and how much they protect the pedestrian. The policemen told the students about the rules of the road traffic. Children also learned road signs, learned to do them, draw them to remember. All students were learning about the importance of wearing reflective clothing at night.

 

At the final gala, there were awards in competitions organized as part of the “Reflective School”.

Reflective vest is the surprise gift

On Tuesday, numerous motorcyclists who were traveling on the avenue of 37th Street in the west of the city were taken by surprise by a checkpoint of the Ministry of Public Security (SSP).

Many said they first thought they were stopped for a review of the vehicle and documents, but it turned out that the agents distributed reflective vests to all the motorcyclists who passed by.

In 37 with 128, the SSP has a booth that is located near the La Calera fishing pier, along the route of the Nueva Yucalpetén colony.

At 12:30 hours, SSP agents parked a patrol with the light on and started to stop the motorcyclists.

But not to inspect the motorcycles, nor if they have plates and bills, but to deliver reflective vests with reflective materials to the guides and companions.

The police told them that the vests are a gift from the state government for all motorcyclists.

They asked them to put them on and use them whenever they travel because they are reflective and for motorcyclists they are very helpful.

Knowing about the gift of hi vis vests, other motorcyclists went to the checkpoint to obtain one.

Should I wear a reflective vest

Motorcycle biker mortality on the roads is on the rise again. Cyclists and motorists are also singled out. But over the year and all categories combined, the number of deaths on the roads is slightly lower: 3,693 (metropolitan and overseas), 45 fewer than in 2016 (-1.2%).

That is not going to work in the hands of those who want to change the course of things in terms of road safety. Difficult indeed to fight against the passage of 90 to 80 km/h on the two-way roads without central separator when the number of deaths on the roads in 2017 of the two main categories of users, the biker-scooters and the motorists, leaves again to the rise.

Black year for bikers

Bikers and scooters have paid a heavy price in 2017. 669 death is 53 more than in 2016. This corresponds to a rise of 9%. Motorists do better with a little less than 1% increase but still see their number of deaths on the road from 1760 to 1770. In contrast, cyclists, like bikers, show a significant increase of 6% in from 162 to 172 death in 2017 compared to 2016.

It’s better for other users

For their part, pedestrians see their statistics decline encouragingly, if we still deplore 488 death in 2017, this figure is down 13% from 2016 where there were 559, or 71 of more. The number of 2018 is being counted.

These numbers we do not speak about

If we add the statistics of pedestrians and cyclists, non-motorized users in total, we arrive at a total of 660 death. It’s almost equivalent to the number of biker death. What do road safety specialists expect to impose safety clothing on these particularly vulnerable users? When are helmets and reflective vests mandatory for cyclists, who often drive at speeds equivalent to motorized vehicles in urban centers? When is the obligation to wear high visibility clothing for pedestrians crossing streets sometimes poorly lit at night?

It is a safe bet that many tragedies could be avoided if these users almost invisible. Unpredictable behavior and devoid of any form of body protection were more easily spotted and equipped with reflective materials to limit the effects of a fall or fall. An impact against another user.

What is the need for safe night running?

Due to the busy work during the day, more and more activists love to run on the night. This is a good thing, but if there are no effective preventive measures, the dangers that come with it are also increasing.

Searching words such as “Dream at Night” have appeared on our homepage. Various media and large-scale magazines have reminded everyone how to avoid danger and what precautions should be taken when going out. However, the danger brought by night running is far more than this.

Because the night runs are at night and the night is dark, the weak light factor cannot be changed, so the night has also become a time when many traffic accidents occur frequently. When we go out to run at night, we will have blind spots even under the light. We can’t even pay attention when we go out. We have hidden for security risks.

So how do we avoid the night running accident?

Reflective vests and reflective tapes are mainly used because they can be used as highlight warnings at night to remind drivers to pay attention in advance and effectively avoid accidents. They are essential equipment for night runners.

After reading the above sharing, everyone should know what the necessary equipment for night running is. In fact, no matter what form of exercise is a healthy body, so we must not forget because of a moment, forget to bring reflective strips, reflective tape, Or reflective clothing, bring their own security risks.

How to choose the high-quality reflective vest

As today’s material life is getting better, people are paying more and more attention to safety and health issues. However, when we open shopping websites and search for reflective vests, the result is more than one hundred pages. So how do we find high quality reflective vests from the vast sea of clothing? How can one choose a genuine reflective vest of good quality?

What is the difference between the five-piece reflective vest and the 50-piece reflective vest? First of all, to introduce, reflective clothing usually refers to clothes that can play a reflective warning effect at night. The clothes are composed of reflective materials (reflective tapes or lattice strips) and base fabrics. When there is light shining at night, the reflective material will reflect back some of the light, to alert people to see the reflected light, does not emit light by itself.

According to national and industry standards, manufacturers of reflective clothing must strictly control all aspects of design, selection, sewing, and post processing of reflective clothing, instead of directly affixing one or more reflections to ordinary clothing. It’s so simple. In fact, from the reference points such as the reflective distance of reflective strips, the number of times of washing, and the width of reflective strips, the national standards are all clearly stipulated.

Some people may ask, cannot wear a reflective vest that does not meet the standard? Do I see some of the ten eight-piece reflective vests that people have in them not quite reflective? Yes, it does not mean that reflective clothing that does not meet the standards can’t be worn. Only the reflective clothing that is not designed and produced according to the standard will have more or less certain problems and security risks.

For example, the national standard GB20653 specifies a reflective distance of 330m. You wear a piece of clothing with reflective distance of only 100m. Of course, it is also possible. However, in case of an emergency, your reaction time to others will be much less. The danger has increased a lot. When it comes to life, one second is also critical! Finally, some reflectors can achieve a reflective distance of 330m. However, glass beads can easily come off due to insufficient processing. This led to some reflective vests not reflecting after washing several times.

Therefore, when we buy reflective vests, we must ask the shopkeeper what the reflective distance of the reflective clothing is, and how many washing time are supported. Of course, the larger the reflective distance, the better, and more washing time the better.
