An action that is part of the awareness of safety in school transport and improving safety around the college. With the reflective material, “see and be seen” makes sense for students.

 

Driving of cycles on public roads and the danger of the road was the second safety aspect of the day. After a video session, 88 students of the three fifth grade classes who worn safety clothing, supervised by seven volunteers from the Cycling Club, rode the bicycles for an educational trail on a runway on the courtyard and participated in an outing in an urban setting. School transport and road safety have been effectively implemented.

Which hunters are subject to?

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. ”

Reflective elements are still underestimated

Since the beginning of August, the police have been trapped in five tragic accidents, and a pedestrian died after a car accident. They become less noticeable early in the morning or in the evening. Although pedestrians have had to wear reflective vests since last year, they are not even used to it.

Morning fog and early black. In this season, just to increase the visibility reduction time, similar accidents will increase. In recent days, there are only two in southern Moravia. On August 15th and August 9th. For the first time, a pedestrian who was seriously injured in the hospital died and was killed in the second.

This year, after a guard in August, a total of five pedestrians died in the Czech Republic, with 20 people throughout the year and 20 in 2015. “Pedestrians should be aware that when they go to work early in the morning, it is still dark and must wear reflective elements,” said high school spokeswoman Alice Messier.

The police quickly set off early and pedestrians warned them that they were in danger. “When I am very light, I will go, but not now, this is true,” said a policeman who immediately equipped with reflective tapes.

Wearing reflective elements, when it comes to pedestrian villages, is not only in the dark, but when dawn or vice versa, it is dark, there is no sidewalk or street lighting on the road, it is already mandatory for more than a year. “The reflective material has been beautiful to see two hundred meters, the driver was able to give it and respond at ninety speed” SCUBA’s Paul Ciskei explained.

Pedestrians must carry reflective elements such as sleeves or belts to reduce the visibility of the garment. This regulation applies to people moving on the roadside outside the non-illuminated area or area of the community. Part of the amendment to the Road Traffic Act should primarily increase the safety of pedestrians.

If the pedestrian is not in the dark, the fog or haze on the road is marked by a reflective element, and a fine of up to two thousand dollars may be imposed in the program. In administrative proceedings, penalties range from 1,500 to 2,500 kroner.

Summer rafting, safety vests are indispensable

Every summer, people will think of water rafting. It cannot only feel the thrilling rapids, and also enjoy the quiet leisure. But what do we need to pay attention to make rafting more safer?

1.When drifting, you’d better to wear long trousers and clothes, it can avoid sun exposure which causes sunburn. And the boat is easy prone to water. It is better to wear plastic slippers or sandals.

2.You can carry some drinking water or a small amount of food, to prevent physical fatigue during rafting. Mobile phones, cameras are better to put into a waterproof bag. In addition, you can wear gloves to avoid hand rubs.

3.Before the board, you must carefully read the drifting notes, put on reflective safety vest. A safety vest with reflective material gives a strong light reflection during the summer sun, which is easily detected when people fall into the water. Especially at night, the light is not enough and the light is weak.

4.While rafting, without any permission, you shall not disembark. If you encounter capsize, do not panic, stay calm, as long as wearing a reflective safety clothing can ensure safety, and actively cooperate with the rescue measures. Get back on board and continue rafting.

Standard requires of outdoor reflector

Outdoor workers often deal with all kinds of environment, especially when they encounter bad weather conditions, the danger of their outdoor work will increase, and their only protective equipment may be just the reflective clothing, the quality of the reflector is particularly important. So what should be the reflective clothes have?

According to China’s national standards and Ministry of labor standards, outdoor work reflective protective clothing should have the following basic requirements:

The international EN47 standard requires that the reflective material must be treated by a special process. In the light action, it should be able to be found at a distance of 800 meters. The standard also sets a corresponding grade standard for the reflective area of reflective clothing to ensure the safety distance of wearers in the open air.

The reflective tape (fluorescent band) sewn on the reflector (fluorescent band) is now a 3M brand reflector, which is required to reach the reflective distance of more than 330M at night under irradiate of the light, so that the wearer can be found at the first time in the far safe distance. And for different types of outdoor work, the reflective area of the reflective belt also has a corresponding level of standard requirements. The conventional requirement is 5cm wide, the distance between the two reflective bands, not less than 5cm.

Reflective material help motorcyclists see and be seen

Spring is in the air and motorcyclists are now bringing out their bikes after a long winter, however, spring can be a dangerous time to ride.

“People aren’t paying attention to them quite yet. Especially in the early spring,” said Jeff, the Parts Manager at Harley Davidson. “This time of the year is a super dangerous time to be riding on the road with two wheels, so we like to keep everybody safe. It is all about safety.”

Harley Davidson is promoting a new campaign to keep bikers safe. They have a new line of light and reflective clothing that can help motorcyclists see and be seen.

The safety vest keeps you seen, especially during rainy or hazy conditions, if a light hits this, it’s obviously all reflective and lets people know they are on the road. He said the new types of LED lights are some of the best ways bikers can keep safe on the road.

The latest and brightest light includes headlamps, peripheral, and tail lamps, and rear turn signals. The general manager of Harley said these lights can be a big change for traditional riders, but it is worth the difference.

These improvements can help drivers be more aware of motorcyclists.

“You have to understand that people are on the road for not paying attention and if you wear reflective material and they see you, your odds of not getting into an accident are a lot better,” Jeff said.

Reflective material and Reflective transfer printing

In recent years, with the improvement of people’s living standard, the emphasis on safety is improved, reflective vests has been more and more popular, ordinary people also recognize that the reflective material is a kind of thing that have effect on all things.

Reflective transfer printing is also called reflective heat transfer, is generally used in a variety of clothing, textile and fabric. This process is special, by pressing the ironing machine or ironing on the clothing and fabric under the condition of high temperature, and then tear off the protective film after cooling. Hot stamping temperature of reflective transfer printing is 130 degrees to 150 degrees, stamping time is 5 to 10 seconds and the pressing pressure is generally around 4.5 to 9KG.

Reflective transfer printing vinyl has a unique reflection performance, suitable for night work uniforms, to prevent life by accidental injury, suitable for all kinds of cloth, usually by labor clothing, factory clothing and high-grade trademark selection.

This kind of reflective transfer printing with its bright colors has obvious warning effect at night or in low light situations, the bright light reflection effect can effectively enhance people’s ability to identify, seeing the target, to avoid the accidents and reducing casualties and economic losses and becoming an indispensable safe guardian of road traffic.

Do you have reflective elements?

Pedestrian is the least protected participant of road traffic and they are often the victim of tragic road accidents.

When bad conditions prevail on the road, and the pedestrian is not equipped with reflective vests and is wearing dark clothes, the driver notices him only when he is within reach of his light. It is very often too late and even the immediate reaction of the driver will not save his life.

Pedestrian crossings usually occur in the evening hours, from September to December, when the visibility of a person moving along the road is significantly reduced.

After dark, a driver driving with low beam light on can see a pedestrian from a distance of 20-30 meters from the car bonnet. However, if it travels at a speed exceeding 80-90 km / h, most often there is no chance of avoiding the deduction, because it moves at a speed of about 25 meters per second – explains press spokesman of the police. – When the pedestrian is equipped with any reflective material that reflects the light of the car, the driver will see it from a distance of 130-150 meters, which are about 5 times faster! The conclusion is obvious: such  small reflective fabric sewn-on our clothes, which can save our lives or the lives of our loved ones.

Reflective vests are required to be worn by all, regardless of age, who move around outside the built-up area after dark. The obligation to wear a reflective vest is exempt pedestrians moving on the road intended only for pedestrians or on the sidewalk, as well as in the area of residence, where pedestrian takes precedence over the vehicle.

Police officers from the Municipal Police Station, constantly visits schools and kindergartens, giving the youngest children reflective vests and realizing how important it is to wear them for life and health. In addition to passing the vests, the police teach the youngest rules of safe movement on the road, especially after dark – he adds.

Recommendations for cyclists and motorcyclists

County Police Inspectorate supports the movement in the open air and wishes the cyclists and motorcyclists pleasant, safe travel!

Bicycle Safety Recommendations:

Before changing the direction of travel, especially to the left or to the overrun, make sure that there is no vehicle approaching – front and rear!

Move as close as possible to the right edge of the road, and when you move in a group, only one column in the column!

Do not ride a bicycle under the influence of alcoholic beverages!

It is advisable to wear an approved helmet and a reflective vest!

To run on the public road, the bicycle must be properly equipped (effective braking device, an audible warning device, white or yellow light in front, red backlight and at least one reflective material of the same color)!

When changing direction, even if you have to cross priority, make sure the other road users understand your intention!

Safety recommendations for motorcyclists:

Keep eye contact – does not assume that others see you. Always try to have visual contact with the drivers that might be intersecting your trajectory.

Anticipate the intentions of your road mates – even when drivers, cyclists and pedestrians see you are approaching, they often mistakenly appreciate the distance or speed. Do not rely solely on their good reaction.

Increase attention to turns and intersections – the most common type of motorcycle crash is generated by drivers who do not ensure that left turns are turned or that the lane changes.

Be prepared for hazardous road conditions – wet road, liquid leakage, sand, gravel, tramway, pits and other road surface danger that can severely affect your adhesion by causing accidents.

Use an approved helmet – which meets current safety standards. Avoid buying a used helmet, you may have suffered an accident, and repair may hide structural flaws.

Wear safety clothing for motorcyclists – only this can provide good protection during an accident and protects you from the weather. Modular “layered” equipment is recommended so you can adapt it to the changing weather conditions.

Be visible – wear bright, reflective clothing. Add additional reflective material or wear a reflective vest. Always keep the headlamp lit and run to the position where drivers can easily see you in the rear view mirror (2/3 of the belt width). Avoid dead angles of other vehicles.
