“Learn to grow with security”

The Councilor for the Environment, Joaquin Villa on, visited this morning the Mobile Training Unit (UMF) of the school campaign “Learn to grow with security”, installed in the park of La Palomar, where students of CEIP Pieta Salvador Rued have received training on risk prevention.

The U.M.F. of “Securitas” is the main scenario for this activity, with different educational games in which, in a playful and fun way, topics such as dangers of electricity, cuts, the dangers of poisoning with chemicals, burns or falls.

Educational play activity in which the students participate is divided into several phases. In the first place, they receive the comic-bus, in which funny vignettes appear, which represent situations that give rise to child accidents and indicate measures of prevention and protection that must be adopted to avoid accidents. The protagonist of the comic is Security @ as a prevention mascot (sewn-in reflective fabric), who will help them to have a healthy life without accidents.

Next, a mimicry game is performed with two participants chosen at random, who simulate a cut and an asphyxia. The rest of the classmates must guess what happened (accident), what are the causes (risks) and how they should act so that the accident does not happen (prevention).

The students have also worked with panels representing various types of accidents. Two volunteers who wear reflective vests have had to order 6 cartoons divided into two paths: green, security and red, danger. In the first, the characters of the vignettes heed the advice of Security @ and avoid danger, so the situation ends in a happy ending. In the second, by not taking into account the preventive message of Security @, the characters adopt the path of “no prevention”, which ends in an accident.

The transfer of chemical products and work with personal protective equipment (EPI) has been other aspects that the campaign has addressed, to which end the students have received a high visibility vest. Then, as a reminder of the day, a group photo was taken, accompanied by the monitors of the activity.

Peugeot Scooters also offers its airbag vest

PTW manufacturers and specialized equipment manufacturers know that motorcycles or scooters can seriously affect your health. In order to limit the risks, Peugeot Scooters proposes, in turn, an Airbag reflective vest.

Legally proud to be the first manufacturer to have equipped a scooter 125 with a standard ABS braking system (read our test MNC March 23, 2006: Peugeot Steles 125, ready for takeoff), Peugeot Scooters “goes further by proposing equipment to protect the driver and passenger directly “: the airbag vest!

Developed in collaboration with specialists of Halite / Protein bag, this hi vis vest is simple and – we hope! – effective: unlike the “wireless” electronic vests of Bering and Dinesen (read our Special MNC Airbag Motorcycle Folder), the system proposed by the manufacturer franc-comatose binds the scooter to its user with a security cordon, as on the jackets DiMaggio and the Aurelia or Gauzy jackets (read MNC of 2 July 2010 and MNC of 17 September 2010).

“The trigger is a mechanical system consisting of a striker, a ball-key, and a spring,” describes Peugeot. “In the event of a fall, the key ball connected to the safety cord is detached and the striker pierces the cartridge under the pressure of the spring.” The high-strength polyurethane air cushions then create a 0.35kg inflated protective shell. / cc that unfolds in 0.1 seconds The cushions automatically deflate in a few tens of seconds.

The vest (sewn-in reflective fabric)weighs less than a kilo and is worn – no sir agent, not above a simple shirt! – above the jacket or jacket. In case of a fall and if the vest is not damaged, a new CO2 cartridge (€ 29.99) and a connecting cord (€ 22) are required to hit the road.

Available in “high visibility neon yellow” or in black, in all sizes from S to XL, this new airbag is already available from Peugeot Scooters network dealers for € 449.90.

New reflective material invisible for infrared cameras

Scientists borrow camouflage technique from cuttlefish. A new reflective fabric that can adjust its reflective properties has a future in aerospace, the military, the transport sector and more, say the inventors.

 

The scientists have looked for special cells in the skin of squid that reflect light from the dominant surrounding color, so that the marine animals are absorbed into the background. The researchers mimicked this effect with material that directly changes how heat is reflected when an electrical voltage is applied.

 

‘Invisibility blanket’

The substance is a bit like an insulation blanket used by emergency workers and has the same reflective basic characteristics. It consists of layers of aluminum, plastic, and high visibility tape and is wrinkled and dull in its base.

 

Now that there is tension on the material, the layer becomes smooth and shiny, so that the reflective properties of the material change. In this way, for example, someone dressed in a uniform with this material can become invisible to infrared cameras.

 

A patent has been applied for on the idea that now all of them are still in laboratory form. The idea is to produce large quantities of the fabric for, for example, army clothing, emergency shelters, space springs, or cooling systems. The dissertation on the new reflective material was published today in scientific journal Science.

New reflective clothes for employees

The employees of MPK received new outfits by reflective fabric. The Tallymen Company designed them for dispatchers of the Traffic Supervision of MPK. The employees of the Traffic Supervision of MPK have the uniforms that distinguish them for the first time in the history of this Department. Until now, they were dressed the same as drivers and drivers, and the only element that distinguished them were the characteristic hats.

 

New tickets for MPK in a few months Telecommunications Association Tallymen S.A. designed and sewed clothing for public transport enterprises, among others. The City Transport Company also joined this group, which is why the company has a special satisfaction as a Lodz-based company.

 

When designing the outfit for MPK employees, it was taken into account that business clothing will be used in various climatic conditions (seasons, simultaneously outside and inside vehicles – objects), therefore it should be universal, lightweight, durable (long and intensive periods of use), aesthetic, easy to maintain, comfortable.

 

MPK employees received a multifunctional, waterproof jacket made of laminated fabric with a vapor permeable membrane and reflective material. It can be worn alone or in a set with a fleece blouse, that forms part of it. The set also includes polo shirts with short or long sleeves and trousers like a trousers and footwear.

 

The clothing has been kept in navy blue with reflective details (including the words “Supervision of Movement”) and with licking in red. Many reflective elements are aimed at increasing the safety of employees in street traffic. A distinctive element of the uniforms of the Ruche dispatchers will be a cap with a visor, a reflective vest and gloves.

 

MPK plans to introduce new business outfits for all employees. Due to the large scope of changes and the number of operators (over 1800 employees), new items of clothing will be introduced gradually. The tender will probably be announced in the second half of 2017.

State Secretary distributed safety vests to seniors

State Secretary, Federal Ministry of Transport, distributed on Tuesday in Bad Nested safety vests to seniors. The action is part of the program “Slow down!” Which aims to reduce the number of road accident victims in the twilight?

 

Older people are particularly often involved in accidents. According to the Federal Statistics Office, more than half of gotten in traffic pedestrian or cyclist were 2,015 over 65 years. In addition, almost 60 percent of any injured last year in traffic pedestrian lost their lives in the twilight or darkness. Reason enough for Doro thee Bar to visit the old people’s home in Bad Nested in the district Rhone-grave field. Overall, they distributed there 30 safety reflective vests to the residents.

That same year, a national traffic safety program was started. State Secretary distributed reflective fabric vest to seniors for their safety. It aims to reduce the number of road accident victims by 40 percent by the 2020th

 

Safety vest with remote control will improve safety

Lublin light blouse with reflective fabric material is the best in the national competition.

It is to ensure the safety of cyclists, especially in dimly lit rural areas. We are talking about light blouse, reflective vest or tunic with turn indicators and position light, located on the back. Design students from Secondary School transport and communication in Lublin just received the first prize in a national competition for innovative technical projects relating to agriculture and rural development.

 

– When the power turns on red light position, such as in a car that lights up nonstop. The steering wheel is fixed pilot. We have the two buttons. When we turn to the left, we press the left button and then begin flashing left turn. Lights on for 10 seconds and then turns itself off – explains the principles of operation Clichés…

 

Students dreaming of that light blouse with reflective tape went into mass production.

Pedestrian permits for primary students in safety vest

43 students wear safety vest in the class of CE2, Ms. Mages and Mr. Lemonsu primary school, received their “first certificate of education in the road,” the hands of Alain, responsible driver education track, and referent allowed pedestrian urban motorized brigade.

 

In the street, the child is particularly vulnerable, and hundreds of pedestrians’ children under 14 years are killed every year in road accidents. That is why we must teach children how to borrow the crosswalks, how to cross when the light is green for pitons and wear reflective vest to keep safe. The vehicles are stopped before traverse not to run.

 

Adults must set an example, and as the children did not understand these safety rules, continue to monitor and support. Children should be dressed in light-colored clothing or bright color and equipped with backpack or school bag fitted with reflective fabric they are required to walk along the pavement when it is dark, and also very important: the bring down the sidewalk side car.
