Visitors in safety vest visit the Maritime Museum

The Maritime Museum allows visitors in safety vest since two weeks working in the Dutch offshore sector up close. This happens in the interactive exhibition “Offshore Experience”. A million project, even the most expensive to the Maritime Museum (since 1873) ever launched, says museum assistant Judith Fraise. Not for nothing: “Worldwide, Dutch companies at the forefront of offshore technology, but the people on the street know that much.”

 

The exhibition should change this. “Also to show how large the importance of energy use is daily life for us all we eventually use energy, such as when cooking, driving and charging our phones. In addition, there is the future change very much: the offshore sector is in a transition from fossil fuels to CO2-neutral energy. ”

 

Wailing wind

After entering a movie about disaster drills and safety of visitors – with helmet and safety reflective vest – a “drilling platform” surrounded by a huge movie projection wall which gives them a view of 360 degrees on the sea. Waves roll in and out, the wind brushes heard and felt over the heads of small and larger distance you see sailing ships. Periodically there protrudes a storm. Then the wind howls and the waves grow.

 

For filming the sky makers climbed the lighthouse of Namaland. The surging waves eyes lifelike. Fraise: “A visitor, who worked on an oil rig, told me that he recognized the reality in our simulation.”

On the platform, visitors can start using commands such as maneuvering a ship in severe storm, to determine the proper location of a wind farm, running gas drilling and allowing countries a rattling approaching helicopter. The better you perform the task, the more points you earn.

 

Show in the middle of the room impressive scale models (scale 1: 100) of ships from the offshore sector the seas worldwide. The showpiece is a huge model of the largest ship in the world, the brand new “pioneering spirit”. Owner is the Swiss-Dutch offshore company Allseeds, with about 2500 employees. The super catamaran, from August to now, all rigs can sail to its destination or scrapping copies of their pedestal and bring lights.

 

Deep Seabed

With an elevator dropping museum visitors then off. When getting them imagine them 300 meters below sea level, far below the drilling platform. Further floating jellyfish and swimming fish. A diver focuses squatted engaged in welding. Fraise, muted: “divers can still operate at this depth. But look, if you walk you see the situation further on a seabed of 3000 meters depth. “The presence of people can no longer be there. Monitored and controlled via robots. A true copy of such operated underwater vehicle remotely hovers below the ceiling. The simulated deep seabed you see such “ROV” (remotely operated underwater vehicle) delving around swimming above the gas installations. Besides getting pipelines on the bed carefully a load of bricks plunged over – protection.

 

The sea and deep seabed simulation is set up according to the “Pepper’s Ghost” principle: using mirrors creates a lifelike illusion of the marine world to the eye of the visitor, as if you can walk right through.

 

Using the exhibition -one of the eight long-term exhibitions in the building- directs the museum, along with the many offshore companies that contributed to it, moreover, emphatically also look at the youth. Fraise in reflective uniform: “We hope to interest schoolchildren for a technical study and employment in the maritime sector.”

Police officers handed out reflective vests new pre-school

Kano police distributed reflective elements

The nationwide traffic safety project (with safety vest) called we see ourselves? In recent days, also involved officers from Kano traffic inspectorate is also in collaboration with cop printing department and prevention.

 

The project followed the first part of this preventive action, which took place in the spring of this year. “Police handed out to pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers but reflective elements such as reflective tape, as well as bags and vests with reflective marking,” said Kano police spokeswoman Jana.

 

The event took place at four selected locations of Kano. It was a station near the pedestrian crossing the street American, Italian, CSA and winning.

Reserve reflective vest is mandatory for car

From mid-September varies mandatory car equipment. Drivers of newer cars no longer need to carry a spare wheel, on the contrary, mandatory pack a reflective vest. To January 1 can also be replaced first aid kits, which will be newly instructions for first aid, PVC or larger scissors.

 

In less than a month will be able to drivers of newer cars hit the road without a spare wheel. This allows them to decree on obligatory car equipment from the workshop of the Ministry of Transport, which will take effect on September 15.

Since then, the drivers only if they reserve a car, or let her take out and replace it must be set for emergency repairing tires.

 

Apostasy obligation to carry in the car fifth spare wheel is not the case for all chauffeurs. Reserves will have to continue to carry motorists who have a car where the spare wheel is part of the so-called crumple zones. In such vehicles could in the accident fifth wheel drivers save live. If he was not in the car, safety car is rapidly reduced.

 

“Automakers and their distributors are published on its website a list of types of cars for which it is possible to delete the provision. For example, Auto will publish its list and on the website of the Ministry of Transport,” explains Jacob from the press department of the Ministry of Transport.

Reserves fall primarily for newly manufactured vehicles. Some automakers as domestic Skoda will provide some type of reserve without it. Without the reserves will be able to ride primarily drivers of newer cars. For example, those that are still manufactured and who’s new no manufacturer will equip margin.

 

Why ends reserves?

Ministry justifies end spare tires mainly because in the Czech Republic is very dense network of assistance services to drivers in distress and help him replace the wheel. On the market are also very effective kits for emergency tire repair, “This is actually a spray. It is applied to the valve and into the tire is pumped foam that fills all the cracks. The price of such sets is around CZK 1,200 and enough to seal the two wheels. The set does not help in cases where the driver his flat tire and literally rolled out of it and incur irreparable hole, “says Karle, co-owner of the garage Prague Cafes.

 

Each car will have to be safety vest

New decree on mandatory equipment has far more changes than removing the spare wheel. It is essential in particular the obligation to carry a reflective vest in the car. This change is valid from 15 September. “This obligation is closely related to the new amendment of the Highway Code, which drivers dictates that the road moved only with a reflective vest. New start paying probably next year. The decree so now drivers orders to carry vest in the car, after which they could not make excuses for anything, “says Josef from the Ministry of transport.

 

Another significant change relates to first-aid kits. Their content has rapidly expanded. It will be added, for example, instructions on first aid, which recently introduced in the Slovak Republic. Newly equipped pharmacy wills also isothermal film. A novelty is a resuscitation mask, replacing the current mask. There will also larger scissors. New aid kits will be about 70 to 150 crowns more expensive than current ones. The exchange chests but drivers with reflective clothing still do not hurry.

Confusion around reflective vests for cars

Not so long ago, the motoring public outraged obligation to change the content of these chests, even if it has not been used in any part of them.

 

In doing so, experts said that some medical reflective materials have a much longer life than what is declared on the roster. Most drivers take at least this provision as a waste.

 

This week, some news sites Rosslea white series drivers with information about the need to change the mandatory reflective vests for new ones, according to new EU regulations. Then it but responded Transport Minister Dan stream with a simple statement: Drivers may not change reflective vests equipped vehicles.

 

“The protective properties of the vest that matched an earlier European standard EN 471, are sufficient in terms of safety and meet the technical requirements. I’d like to reassure motorists clearly that they do not throw your jacket that you made earlier and not have to buy new ones, “said Dan.

 

The requirement of implementing the new standard EN ISO 20471, according to the office applies only to manufacturers, who market the new safety vest. Older vests that have the desired properties, it is not necessary to replace new.

“We’re the new ones do not even have, but we do not sell anything that does not pay,” said a saleswoman at a gas station under the new bridge, where the editors newspaper tried to buy a new vest.

 

People in buying a new reflective vest in any case must now check the label, and complies with the European standard. Old standard EN 471 is no longer valid.

Warning vest, designed as mandatory equipment for motor vehicles according to current regulations, is that which is marked by EN ISO 20471: 2013 and AS INDICATED four-digit identification number of the notified body that it has tested.

 

According to available information, the “old” vest according to EN 471 should be resold for cyclists and pedestrians, but the product must be removed the name ‘warning vest “and an indication that it is a high-visibility clothing. While vest according to the old standard cost around thirty crowns vest according to the new decree will come to around sixty crowns.

 

The new decree brings many surprises and controversies, such as the recent controversy around the right of way at roundabouts. Warning vests may not be the last.

Drivers reflective vests may not be changed

Transport Ministry reassures the driver that you do not have to change older reflective vests for new manufactured according to new European standards. With that, the older models are still acceptable, but oppose some manufacturer’s reflective vests.

 

According to company owner DAS already older vests do not match the decree of the Ministry of Transport. “The warning vest according to the old standard 471 already exists under the law, because it is canceled and cannot be used as a security feature,” says Damsel.

 

This interpretation, however, strongly protested the Ministry of Transport. According to Minister Dan Movement for YES correspond to the old safety vest all technical and safety requirements and motorists clearly calms.

 

“No one will have to buy anything new. Of the Decree does not, it would have to conduct change. Correspond qualitatively as well as the old ones, “he says.

The requirements of European standards apply only to new vests that only manufacturer on the market. They are required to put on the vest as labels with standard four-digit number.

 

According to the Insurance Association spokesman Ales not insurance in case of accidents addressed if the subscriber used an older or newer vest.

“I think it would be unable to prove that it could have some effect and those vests are visually more or less the same,” added the spokesman.

People also there are no use for elderly reflective fabric vests any sanctions from the police.
