You must have a fire brigade and safety vest in car

Are you planning to go to Europe by car? Then, besides the mandatory safety equipment that is valid in the Czech Republic, you should get some extra stuff. In addition, sometimes such requests are strange. Look at them at a glance.

 

Reflective vests, gloves, triangle – Even such details can make Czech drivers more difficult to spend abroad. When traveling to another European country, make sure you have everything in your car that you have. In some countries, the mandatory equipment differs significantly from the Czech Republic. Check out what you have to bring with you in accordance with ÚAMK in selected European countries.

 

Fire extinguisher

Many drivers are surprised to have a fire extinguisher in some European countries. This is true for cars, bikers or cyclists, of course, not necessarily. Have a fire extinguisher if you are traveling to Bulgaria, Romania, Poland or Greece.

 

Reflective vests

Even in the Czech Republic, it is sometimes unclear to drivers whether they need a reflective vest for everyone or just for themselves. Everyone who is out of the car because of an emergency must wear a vest in France, Italy or Poland, but also in Slovakia and Slovenia. In Austria and Croatia, it is enough to have a high visibility vest only for drivers.

 

 

He never received the reflective vest from company

The Court of Labor Letters of Iquique accepted in all its parts the claim for compensation of damages filed by a worker against the company Concessions Iquique SA, he was injured without any reflective clothing on road, for the moral damage suffered after being run over while performing “parking operator” duties in a street in the city.

 

In the ruling, Judge Marcela accepted the legal action presented by the plaintiff and ordered the company to pay 100 million pesos. The affected one recount in the legal action that a vehicle parked unexpectedly opened its door to the sector of the street and hit it. When falling, another vehicle in circulation overwhelmed him, since he did not notice his presence because he was not wearing a reflective vest, which the company never gave him.

 

Then he received first aid to remove it from under the vehicle that hit him and was transferred to a health center. However, the situation did not stop there. In his arguments, he maintains that a consequence of the injury suffered, and after months in which he could not be intimate with his spouse, “he realized that he also suffers, that is, the inability to feel orgasms, so that his sex life has seen completely destroyed, only by the negligence of his former employer, “explains the text.

 

For that reason, the ruling concluded, “in effect, it is an obligation of means, since it consists in adopting reasonable measures of prevention, without being able to demand an effective and absolute avoidance of occupational accidents. Since the expression effectively employs Article 184 of the Labor Code, refers to the conditions that the employer must maintain for the worker. It must be designed to achieve a real and accurate protection of the life and health of the worker in the performance of their work, that are useful and apt for such effects, all of which is not appreciated by the defendant, according to the evidence rendered and analyzed as a whole, in the light of sound criticism.” About the safety equipment, the company needs to equip it for every worker for their safe.

 

 

The useful things to bring in the car

If you go on a road trip, do you know exactly the elements that, as a rule of Traffic, you must carry in your car to drive? In addition to this mandatory safety equipment, we also recommend other accessories that may be very useful for your safety.

 

The cars have to carry some elements that are obligatory and that always have to be in the vehicle in case we should need them at some time. In addition, it is advisable to carry other accessories that in case of emergency can get you out of trouble.

 

Mandatory equipment

Two portable approved hazard-signaling devices (so-called, by their shape, triangles).

A high visibility reflective vest also approved. It is advisable that the vest is inside the passenger compartment (not in the trunk), so you can wear it before getting off the car.

The wheel can be of normal size, auxiliary (cookie wheels), or be replaced by an safety kit. Tools needed to change the wheel. Remember that it is compulsory, to travel in certain places, to carry a set of chains (whether metallic or textile) or winter tires. If the vehicle is public transport, mixed or merchandise, or a maximum authorized mass of more than 3,500 kg, you must carry an extinguisher.

 

Moreover, is the car insurance, glasses and spare lights?

Since the last reform of the Traffic Law came into effect, it is no longer necessary to carry additional glasses in the car, or to include the car insurance receipt between the documentation papers. The traffic agents can consult the informative file of insured vehicles (FIVA), to check if the vehicle has insurance in order. However, although it is not mandatory, our advice is that you include the proof of insurance payment with the rest of the vehicle’s documentation and some spare glasses. It costs nothing and can avoid problems if you forget your glasses or, for whatever reason, the existence of the insurance did not appear or it was possible to connect to this computerized file at the time to obtain the information.

 

As for the replacement lamp set, it is not mandatory either, just like the high visibility vest. There are more and more cars with Xenon or LED lights (replacement can only be done in a professional workshop) and, with respect to “normal” bulbs, it is becoming more and more complicated to disassemble them.

Safety equipment was handed over to Comorian fishermen

The first batch of safety equipment for safety at sea, intended for the fishing communities of the Comoros, was handed over to fishermen last Monday in the premises of the National Directorate of Fisheries. The handover and reception ceremony was conducted by the vice-president in charge of the Ministry of Fisheries.

 

This equipment, totaling 21 million Comorian francs, disbursed by the World Bank, consists of 70 global positioning systems, 140 lifejackets, 140 waxed, 140 pairs of gloves, 225 hand-held fires, 75 smoke, 150 parachute flares and 70 mirrors. Tools are that will improve the daily working conditions of fishermen and promote the culture of safety at sea.

 

On this occasion, the Vice-President stressed that these materials will meet the regulatory imperatives and, taking into account the economic difficulties of the sector, the Comorian government has made the fisheries sector a national priority in the process of emerging country by 2030.

 

Abode in safety clothing said that this safety equipment at sea is very useful because the fishing sector “contributes 8% of gross domestic product (GDP) and provides 32,000 direct and indirect jobs”.

 

The Resident Representative of the World Bank in the Comoros, Rasht Petrel, argued that this equipment, intended for Comorian fishermen, is among the results of the Cores project which ended on April 31st. This project is being replaced by another named Sailfish, the first project of governance of fisheries and shared growth in the South-West Indian Ocean, said the Resident Representative.

 

As for the Commissioner in charge of Agriculture and Fisheries, Amada Vises Ali wears the safety vest, he said that “our sinners must take their responsibilities because for the Comoros to be an emerging country, we need the contribution of each of us, all categories”.

 

Bulletproof vests and heavy helmets for firefighters too

It is the air of the terrorist time, the violence of the moment and the national direction of the civil security which advises it. Rescue services are encouraged to equip themselves more heavily for their own protection. “We do not have any equipment obligation,” says Lieutenant-Colonel in safety vest. “The national doctrine does not impose, it recommends. But it is hard to imagine a director engaging his workforce with nothing “adds the crisis management specialist. The Moseley subscribes and follows in the footsteps of the departments that crossed it before it which, unlike others, did not have to host matches of the Euro 2016 football that precipitated the application of the measure.

 

In detail, three Magellan rescue centers, “where three teams of six men per guard, plus one nurse,” were trained, will receive personal protective equipment (PPE). A pack consisting of a level 3 ballistic helmet, without reinforced visor like that of the police or gendarmerie. “It does not work on a victim.” This explains the preference of the SDIS for a splinter mask that “looks a bit like ski goggles”, illustrates Christophe Retinoid. “The extraction (of a victim, Ed) is physical. We made the choice of lightness and practicality. ”

 

After the head, the body will be dressed in a reflective vest (four, in front, behind and on the flanks), of a ballistic level 4 (resistant to ammunition of war). Black with a red flocking, “it is not very visible, but enough to identify us in the field. We are on sites where many orders and where tight tactical coordination “involves knowing who is in action. At this added weight, lifeguards add lighter accessories like knee pads and cut-resistant gloves. Finally, the staff will also have on them a tourniquet to pose oneself on a member or that of a wounded comrade.

 

It is necessary to extend the list with the collective equipments like rigid trays and flexible stretchers on which the victim is strapped and that one can tow a few meters with a cable to put it in the shelter. The radio exchange system integrates earpieces for communication as discreet as effective in a noisy environment. “We are on agile devices to be reconfigured permanently,” says Christophe Retinoid. “We have always adapted.” Trained to the nuclear, radiological, biological and chemical risks (NRBC), the reliefs add a mention “terrorism” which pushes them until the paradox of being equipped like police forces to assist victims.

 

The adaptation of the equipment to circumstances led the Department to open an envelope of 50 000 € for the purchase of new safety equipment. The market has been launched according to precise specifications and the rescue centers concerned should not be long in coming. “There were a lot of things we already had,” says Lieutenant-Colonel Retinoid, SDIS 57. The bill is therefore limited. At the same time, the SDIS has increased the so-called “Damage Control” training with its staff. An effort launched for eight months and continues to teach the greatest number of firefighters.

 

“Even though we changed air with Charlie, the trigger of conscience,” the Bata clan had an influence on how to operate, said Lieutenant-Colonel Retinoid, SDIS 57, as Nice did too and as the next attack will likely bring a new evolution in how to intervene in risky contexts.

 

Police in safety vest control abroad

The holiday season is a big step, so it is time to travel around Poland and other countries. It is important to know what safety equipment must be on board our car during police inspections. It is important to remember that the requirements in Poland and abroad are very different.

 

Both in our country and abroad, we must be supplied primarily with a fire extinguisher and a warning triangle. Importantly, both components must bear the approval mark. Without a fire extinguisher and a triangle, there is a mandate risk of 20 to 500 zł. The fire extinguisher must be positioned so that it can be used immediately if necessary. The extinguishing agent content must be not less than 1 kg.

 

In Poland there is no requirement for a first aid kit and reflective vest, but it is certainly worth having in your car, for your own safety and for others. These elements are compulsory in the vast majority of EU countries, France, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Czech Republic, Germany or Slovakia. Interestingly, in the latter vest is also required for the passenger.

 

Drivers often forget about the proper marking of the vehicle’s stoppage (during a malfunction or catching a rubber). For missing or incorrect signaling of the stoppage you have to pay a penalty of 150 zł, and on the motorways the tariff is expected to double the amount. This also applies to the marking of a towed vehicle.

 

France, Sweden, Norway, Switzerland, the Czech Republic, Italy, Spain and Slovakia – spare bulbs and safety vests are required in these countries. In France you also need two disposable breathers for the driver and the passenger. In Spanish we need spare glasses if we have information on mandatory use of glasses in our driving license.

 

The mother of the perpetrator despairs after the tragedy

The prosecutor applied for a temporary detention for a 42-year-old who drunk into a 55-year-old cyclist without any safety equipment. A dramatic accident occurred at night from 26 to 27 May.

Manes S. († 55 years old) was found by her unconscious husband. Her husband found her on May 27, 7.45. The woman was still breathing, but she was not in contact. Her spouse immediately called for an ambulance, but despite resuscitation, she was unable to save her.

 

This content appealed to the daughter of a woman on the social network:

“Please help!!!! He killed my mother on Mother’s Day – help us find him!!!

On the night of Friday, 26.05 / 27.05, around midnight in New Soothe, my car hit my mom who was coming back from work on a bicycle.

The perpetrator ran away from the accident!

The bike was lit and mom was wearing a reflective vest. She returned from work with Gabo, drove 10 km, and her last 300 m to her home…

The car was moving from Stare Socotra towards Kuban.

On the road there are no signs of braking!!!!!!!!

On the roadside you can see traces of wheels…

 

As a result of my deduction, my mother suffered an open fracture of her left leg and bleeding in a ditch until dawn, when an aid, ambulance, helicopter arrived. I do not even want to think how much she suffered for 8 hours in the ditch….

Unfortunately it was too late!!!!

And if he stopped, he called for help Mom could live!!!!!!!!

There was a part of the bumper, a cracked lamp that the Police had secured.

If you know anything about the matter, you have seen a car with a broken lamp, broken bumper – Please contact me or the Police! ”

 

At the scene of the accident the police and the prosecutor worked. Investigators on the road, the shoulder and the ditch found elements from an unknown vehicle. They also asked about the local residents. – It was established that the association with the event may have a Volkswagen golf-driving vehicle that was probably headed by a 42-year-old man. It was stopped. All indications are that the critical night, in the company of other men, consumed alcohol. But he did not want to undergo an alkahest study. Blood samples were taken and the results will be known in the near future, “said Krzysztof Korana in reflective clothing, spokesman for the District Prosecutor’s Office in Lodz.

 

A man has heard charges of causing a lethal accident with a fatal result, combined with an escape from the scene of the incident. During the hearing, he did not plead guilty. The prosecutor applied to the court for his temporary detention. At the Department of Forensic Medicine in Lodz on Tuesday, May 30, there will be a woman’s corpse section. Its results will allow a detailed diagnosis of the scale of injuries and the cause of death. It is likely that the woman for a few hours after the deduction, without the help of other people, with serious injuries lying in the ditch. The identified open fracture indicates bleeding. The expert also does not exclude head injuries – says pros.

Nightwear socks – Running Reflective Crew Sock

If something runners really consider an important part of the safety equipment, then they are also socks. At least for those who do not create barefoot on marathon tracks? Proper sock selection is simply a guarantee of long-term comfort during the race. If it still looks good, it’s better. But why would such fuses at the same time help to increase security?

 

Yes it’s right. These Reebok socks carry rich reflex equipment all over their back. At RUN, the RUN sign will delight everyone, even the unfamiliar runner. The reflective surface is so large that neither you’re motorized nor non-motorized driver will miss out on your moving lower limbs in the darkness. Of course, their equipment is most outstanding in the spring and summer months when the reflectors are not covered with long leggings or tracksuits.

 

Crew socks by reflective fabric are distinguished to the right and left. They have reinforced heels and toes against excessive wear, while achieving greater comfort. The opening and underside of the longitudinal vault have a reinforced transverse spring, so the socks are beautifully wrapped around the foot and held in place. Surface areas are designed for faster sweat ventilation. The stitches have socks of a relatively long length, so they also protect the Achilles, for example, in the early morning frosts or in the aforementioned night runs for which they are intended.

 

The reflex points themselves are certainly not fun to attach to the elastic fabric. Manufacturers, of course, have succeeded in doing so. Several launches passed socks without losing the garland and survived with all the reflective elements on board. I would certainly recommend washing these socks out of the way so as to avoid unnecessary damage to the reflex.

 

The socks were still tens of kilometers without showing signs of wear. Most of my socks go to my fingernail, but no pathological changes can be observed here. I also completely like their colorful design. The predominant black still looks good, even if you mess with some mud on your way. I like the raised knits that hold the warmth of the lower part of the calf. Perhaps the only thing I would do on my socks is the elasticity of the upper hem. It pulls me too tightly, but I believe it is still a little bit subject to use. But this will certainly be very individual. Added value in the form of rear reflectors, of course, makes me very happy. Whoever has moved at night on our roads knows that reflective material and other elements of passive safety are never enough.

 

 

Children have the right to safety

At the sports weekend, many parents take smaller or larger children with them. If they see how their descendant is rushing on a mountain bike with wooded hillside, they should remember that they were definitely doing something like that. Where else would the wild blood be taken…?

There are, therefore, a few principles that parents should explore before embarking on adventures with their children.

 

How to do it-Use safety aids!

Adults should ensure that the child uses all safety equipment: on roller skates and skateboards, elbow, knee and wrist protectors as well as a helmet. The helmet and the waistcoat on the water is required, Cycling helmet, gloves, reflective tapes and reflectors.

 

Besides buying adult aids, children should check and use them as an example.

The helmet is necessary!

The suspicions that a child with a helmet loses a self-preservation bike do not rely on the truth. They say he does not even protect himself in a car crash. And even you can strangle the tape under your chin. In addition, it is hot and the baby gets sunburn. None of that is true.

The helmet and reflective vest is like a car seat belt. She has already saved life for many cyclists, but it may happen that in some unlikely moments the situation will worsen.

 

Learn to swim!

It is said that children who are just learning to swim are drowning and are therefore deeper. This is not true, and medical statistics speak the opposite. Basics of swimming will help everyone get warm up at least for a while. In addition, the baby will not cry when his head unexpectedly gets under water, for example, in swimming pool games or jumping into the water.

 

Do not delay the floating vest!

In water sports, the child must have a float vest. Get on a raft, canoe, or sail. Falling into the water or even overturning the boat is a shock for an adult, let alone a child. The float vest will help with rescue, especially in the first moments when the “float” is brought to the surface.

 

It is said that under the jeep vest will make it impossible to save. In this one special case, it is true, but without a safety vest, only very experienced water boys attempt to self-preserve in the hopeless situation on a strong cylinder, from which they cannot get other than his underlining at the bottom. But it rarely succeeds.
