Road safety: the students wear safety vest

Bracieux nine college students received the National Order of Merit for their project around the port of yellow reflective vest.

Thursday, June 16, Hubert school in Bracieux has hosted prestigious guests. Valerie Goff, academic director of the department and Alain, Chief of Staff of the prefect, had traveled to greet the “amazing work and smart" 9 students.

For over a year, these college students and their history teacher, Romaric set up a project on the promotion of wearing safety vest. “We were surrounded by two professors of the college and then we got a grant from the Highway Safety to help us finalize the project," says Camille, a student participating in this production.

As a reward, they received the National Order of Merit awarded by the medalists and departmental chairman, Jean-Claude. “Now we will communicate this production to the national jury of the Order of Merit in Paris. We truly support this project because it is in time and we will do everything for it to go away, "says Jean-Claude.

Eight panels on a wall tell the story of the yellow vest over the centuries. It is amazing project Romaric and 9 of his students. “It was a kind of timeline incorporating the yellow vest in paintings and texts of our history book" says Camille.

"A Citizens' Agenda"

But basically, the idea germinated in the head Romaric. The teacher wanted to start a project that echoes an internal problem in college. “Many students ride bicycles or off the bus without wearing a yellow vest, he says, so we already wanted to trigger awareness in them.”

In depicting characters from the middle Ages coating the yellow vest, Romaric has integrated this item in history to "create a reflex" for these college students. Professor promotes another type of prevention, bypassing the awareness campaigns it deems ineffective.

This production, own students, allowed them to “take ownership history “, adding a touch of humor to the illuminations of the Middle Ages. What, hopefully, to get the message to their peers.

Safety vest keep student safer

Catherine is an angry woman. Wednesday, November 16 at 8:20, she takes her children in safety vest to school, Reaumur Street in the southeast area. As usual, it is she who is responsible for making schoolchildren cross the crosswalk. Because it’s unlike other sectors, here there is no public road security officer. Mom is positioned in the middle of the road on the way, arms spread, when a Fiat 500 driven by a woman of 23 years in Oise, arose and struck Ethan, four. Catherine's son was hit in the head by the mirror and part of the car. Lower lip "exploded" bloody nose, Ethan is projected on the side. Fortunately, the child is strong. Taken to hospital by firefighters, he was able to return home a few hours later.

The anger of the family is not it, not settled. “The driver explained that she had not seen Ethan because of the steamy windows, I do not really believe. We were still visible in the middle of the crosswalk, "says Catherine, also representative of parents of school Reaumur. Mom calls to the City more security on this axis, albeit not very popular with motorists, but not immune to accidents. A petition is also being developed. “Other schools receive ASVP while they are in the same situation, this is not right. This is not because the school is located down the street there is no risk. "

Good Samaritan, Mrs. Catherine was accustomed to cross other children. “I will continue but I will take this time a yellow vest. It is still unusual to have to do the work of the officers of the City. "Full of history, the day before the accident, the flashing signs alerting to the presence of children had been installed near the facility but were not yet operational.

The City, however, seems to have taken the measure of the incident, the mother having been received in the day Wednesday by the deputy mayor in charge of southern Martin demised sector.

A call to parents

Clement Stengel, deputy mayor in charge of security, is currently gathering all the elements relating to the accident. “To study the possibilities of making this school a monitored item. It does not close the door to this solution but it has to be justified, "he says.

Twenty schools are not monitored by ASVP against sixty which themselves are. In some areas, there are even two ASVP as or instead Vogel Boulevard. “Unfortunately, we cannot monitor all given the number of ASVP (nearly 100) who also have other missions continues Stengel. You think to identify individuals, possibly parents in reflective vest who could handle the monitoring and would be equipped. Not systematically but in addition ASVP by a system of rotation, for example. Nothing is decided but it is under consideration. "

Reflective accessory: "safety and security of the technology" experience meeting

Non-destructive inspection, such as to find a crack in the steel structure using the inspection work and ultrasound of the real bridge by workers wear reflective vest.

　Metropolitan (Metropolitan Expressway) is, more of the promotion of disaster prevention activities of Metropolitan employees and group company employees, and for the purpose of improving the awareness of safety, June 17 from May 17 (Tue) (gold) has been implementing the "metropolitan safety month" up to, but was carried out "metropolitan inspection and repair demo 2016" to the university students of civil engineering such as Department of the Tokyo metropolitan area for the next generation.

　This is such an event that has been implemented since 2008, "was able to experience the technology that was heard in the classroom", "the future we want to contribute to the industry", that of the well-received by participating students. 39 people to match the current participation are men and women. Such as non-destructive testing, the manner in which students are to visit and experience the "technology of the safety and security" press to discover the crack of steel structures using the inspection work and ultrasound of the real bridge using aerial work platforms even so was published towards, reports its pattern.

　Demonstration in the "Tatsumi repair base," which is located under the Metropolitan Wangan overpass that was done, was also prepared demo of "proximity inspection" using the aerial work platforms. Although it is a vehicle which is a large-sized work platform called the "super deck", and boom boarded the Aerial gondola (arm-like portion that supports the gondola that extends to reach the altitude) is going to stretch, tension we saw also the participants to show the facial expression. Although there is a height of a few m from the ground, it seems to remember the embarrassment to the inexperience of the state.

A type of non-destructive inspection method of the so-called material, and is capable of finding cracks (openings defect) such as iron and steel materials. The demo magnetized by using the electrode in steel, but it was how to visually against the ultraviolet light after you spray the test solution, it was possible to confirm the streaky crack shines clearly in green.

　Similarly, is a kind of non-destructive inspection method of substance, the demonstration also tour of the "ultrasonic flaw detection test" to check the internal defects in the welds? As difficult commentary get search on the Web site, from easy to say when the transmitter to transmit the ultrasonic pulse, to display the ultrasound that is reflected in the internal defects on the screen of the receiver, the failure of the location and size thing of the inspection method to confirm.

　As a semi-automatic testing equipment demonstrations and the deck plate direction in depth more than 6mm of dangerous cracks that are in addition to, also referred to as "steel floor plate SAUT", "electromagnetic radar method" to explore the steel material, such as rebar to be present in the concrete, the concrete Slapping, such as the description of the "rebound degree method" to estimate the compressive strength from the rebound degree, was listening with a serious look is attendees.

　After a tour of the capital sales in the inspection and repair methods, for accuracy check of the axis of the tollgate heavy equipment, it can test up to 8 to 16 tons by moving back and forth the weight of KaSobu "axle load test car ", as can be confirmed work even without the entire surface closed to traffic, the water spray head surrounded by a bucket or" water spray inspection vehicles ", the exhibition of the inspection test vehicle, such as" ETC for the electric field strength measurement car "commentary the received, was able to understand the respective roles and needs.

　Unfortunately, although the actual vehicle was not, yellow vehicle with reflective tape called "infrastructure Doctor" that can be inspected the road while running in the same manner as "Doctor Yellow" What was interesting is the bullet train. Metropolitan technology, Asahi three companies of Aero has developed, GIS (geographic information system) and MMS by linking such as a three-dimensional point cloud data and videos measured by the (surveying system by a mobile measurement vehicle), road you can check the status of and structures on the screen, which is capable of and automatically create the necessary drawings from point cloud data, that of a system that supports the operation and maintenance of roads and structures.

　Technical content, but I want to browse the Web, the capital of high-speed technology, because the infrastructure Doctor is a data such as roads and structures while traveling as well as the general cars can be acquired, even such as the causative road traffic regulation of traffic congestion unnecessary. The 3D of the road structure is that of the world's first technology, the detection of the aging of the road structures, it is the going to utilize, such as maintenance and repair.

　At the time of inspection work of day-to-day, there is a exhibition also explained the actual equipment and clothing, such as the equipment could also try to pick up. Inspection hammer and percussion bar, scale, feeler gauge, measuring tools, such as crack scale, has a such as anti spray and dustpan, a helmet, of course, head lights, protective goggles, dust mask, of reflective material safety vest, gloves , knee addressed, such as safety shoes, description has been for each of the need.

　Civil protection director of the Metropolitan Expressway Tokyo was greeted at the time of the demonstration ended, and listen to the story, "By providing such opportunities, students with an interest in current technology and work got, I'm glad After me learn a lot more of it.

Reflective material: Celebrate Halloween with prudently

In the aftermath of Halloween festivities on October 31 evening, officers in safety vest from the cities of Terrebonne and Mascouche accentuate their presence in every corner of the MRC Les de 16 h to 20 h 30.

Because safety is everyone's business, police territory also asks the population to exercise caution and vigilance when traveling.

10 Essential guidelines

The police took the opportunity to recall some basic safety rules to spend prudently evening.

First, it is better to wear light colored clothing with reflective strips for visibility. It is also better to go for short clothing to avoid tripping. In a similar vein, avoid masks and instead use makeup to see and hear what is happening around. Also, turn on a flashlight to see better and be more visible.

For older, tell your parents your route and time of return. It is best to ring the door in groups or with an adult and always wait outside the houses. Browse one side of the street at a time and avoid cross unnecessarily. Cross streets at intersections and obey traffic signs with reflective tape. Refuse to approach a car or get there without the permission of your parents. Finally, it is suggested to parents and children to check all the treats received for some might eat them safely.

The yellow jackets in the colors of South union

Two dozen people distributed leaflets at the entrance of the Leclerc hypermarket on Saturday morning. They denounce the harassment allegedly suffered several employees and former employees every day.

Saturday morning about 10 am a group of 20 to 25 people between the Leclerc store where hundreds of people are shopping. Venues show, they leave the yellow fluorescent reflective jackets in the colors of South union then distribute leaflets “and inform customers of the situation in which employees work," said Samuel, secretary of the Inter Trade Union Solidarity South. Protesters denounce acts of harassment allegedly suffered "many employees and former employees from management and some managers."

South Solidarity

The group is mainly composed of South Solidarity trade unionists from Maubeuge, Jeumont. Some former employees wear safety vests are also present. Samuel cautions that "ten complaints were filed harassment and two cases to industrial tribunals.”

"I left the store in August 2015, said Olivier. I became depressed because of disparaging thoughts. I was in the book department; once elected to the union, I was forced to change..."

Margot has worked "for 15 days with my mother. She got sick. She was fired for misconduct because the director invented she had insulted him."

A group of 5 employees calls us to defend the management. "We are shocked to see an event like this on our workplace, said the head of the radius fruits and vegetables Laurent. In this group there are people who have worked in this store 15 days, no more. We decided not to respond to this; it is estimated that if the worry is before the tribunal that it is set and not here." The police in reflective vest said.

An anonymous call

Protesters left around 11:45 am.

Yesterday afternoon we were contacted by telephone by someone claiming to work "for the Leclerc press office." According to this man, who wished to remain anonymous, the company did not receive any notification of complaint for harassment.

Is all clothing allowed the office? Take safety vest when go out

In recent days, it's hot, very hot. And from Lille to Bordeaux via Paris, Bourges, temperatures are not ready to go down. A real torture for employees who would like to give up tie suit or costume, especially when their offices are not air conditioned. But have we the right, in France, to come in tank top, shorts and flip-flops, or safety vest on outside?

If no legal text formally prohibited, no not permitted. Freedom to dress as we want it is not a fundamental freedom. This means that this "freedom" is provided in some basic documents as the Constitution.

The employer is not true, unless specific job, all rights on the way its employees are expected to come to work. Article L1121-1 of the Code stipulates that: "No one can bring to human rights and individual and collective liberties that are not justified by the nature of the task and proportionate to the aim pursued".

Clearly, the employer may restrict freedom of dress for reasons of safety or contacts with customers or image. For example, a worker must wear his reflective vest and safety shoes, a stewardess, uniform supplied thereto and a notary clerk will avoid flip flops and shirt.

So, an employee who is not working with clients can he, he, come dressed as he wants? Not quite! In 2001, a technical office, who worked out of contact with customers, was dismissed because it was allowed to come to work in shorts. The Supreme Court agreed with the company. Customers are therefore regularly in local man was in indirect contact with them, which could harm the company's image. And it needs to wear reflective clothes when they need to go out.

The ideal is to check the company's internal regulations. Indeed, if an outfit is expressly prohibited, it must have been submitted to the staff representatives and view the premises. But to avoid any odd, the ideal is for a man to come in elegant but casual attire like a suit without a tie, linen trousers, and a slightly loose shirt. The women, they, more spoiled for choice. Once their holding remains suitable, of course. The mini-skirt in the office, it can get messy.
