Wear reflective clothing in DIN standard in traffic

In winter, pedestrians and cyclists make themselves better visible than possible so that motorists notice them in time. The police advises to reflective fabric on clothing and safety accessories.

Buyers should pay attention to the standard DIN EN 13356. The surfaces on school bags, in turn, bear the designation DIN 58124. Anyone who wears a safety vest over their clothing as a cyclist accesses products with the EN ISO 20471 standard. Anyone wearing clothing with such reflective material can be seen at a distance of up to 140 meters.

The municipal workers have not yet received the summer uniform

The contract, which expired and a new one has not yet been formalized, affects almost 70 employees of services, works and janitors.

The municipal staff that dresses in uniform in the City Council of San Vicente del has not received today, August 1, the summer wardrobe. The contract for the supply of clothing for the municipal staff was finalized without renewing another contract and this affects the uniformity of almost 70 people (the Local Police has an own costume contract), with which the works and services personnel, the cemetery or the janitors have not renewed the clothes this summer. The spokesman for Citizens, Alejandro Navarro, recriminated in the plenary session of July the mayor of Human Resources, José Luis Lorenzo, who has passed the contract. Lorenzo acknowledged that "the contract does not go with the speed with which it has to go".

The mayor of Human Resources and Contracting ensures that this clothing will be purchased through a minor contract and notes that for this a technician has been put to work; and that for the winter uniforms a bidding process will be done.

Limit of 25 washes

Sources of the brigade of works, one of the most affected, assure that they already warned in September to the area of Human Resources about the expiration of this contract and that they answered that they had it in mind and, despite this, regret that they have not taken steps to make a new one. They point out that they are using the uniformity of last year, with the problem that it contains reflective material and special reflective tapes that are recommended to change after 25 washes.

They do not trust to receive the new clothes this month, which has forced some worker to replace the official clothes by the reflective vest and to buy their own boots.

You cannot even see the town, warn pedestrians

In the past week, the city and state policemen, officials, and the mayor went through Edward Benes's Czech town square. Behind the hustle and bustle between the two department stores, they searched for people who are not seen. And they gave them reflective tapes.

The interest was enormous. "We had 150 of them bought, and after twenty minutes here we are almost none," Anna, head of crime prevention, shrugged her shoulders. Not only is it particularly advantageous to use reflective vests beyond the limits set by law, especially under reduced visibility. "Of course there is no obligation to wear it in the city, but people are not really seen and it is good to have it," she said.

Mother Teresa Loren, a new-mum, was also around the block. There was no reflective material on the stroller. "We do not go out in the dark yet, it's only a month," she laughed apologetically. Anna solved the problem on the spot and gave the reflection element. "When you cross the crossing, the first stroller goes," she added.

From preventive projects, the distribution of tapes in front of the department store is one of those more visible. But there are also those who work with a narrow target group. For example, seniors. "As part of the Together for Safety project, we have already drawn on a number of donations from the Ministry of the Interior grant program. For example, we purchased and installed security guards and chains for seniors, self-defense courses and others, "said the Prevention Manager.

On the other hand, projects focusing on youth. For example, Stop domestic violence, where women and secondary school students provide information materials on domestic violence and contacts to professional organizations. Secondary schools also offer self-defense courses.

For the youngest children, regular meetings are planned on the traffic field where the police officers explain the basics of moving on increasingly busy roads. Thanks to their cooperation with the Liberec Region, children from neighboring villages are not deprived of it either. "The county is paying these children for transport. Since children were few, a problem arose. At the instigation of our city police, however, Mr. Medal was promptly responded to ČSAD and it is all right again, "added Jake.

For social prevention this year the town reserved 410 thousand crowns. For crime prevention programs about a quarter million. Other hundreds of thousands also provide state-sponsored projects such as crime prevention assistants working at the city police, especially in socially problematic locations.
