Early: Road Safety in Comenius Kindergarten

"Now you are only allowed to the red, orange and green dots appear," Ferdinand instructs the children in Comenius Kindergarten, "just as the color sequence of the traffic lights is." The full-time police officer in safety vest is now in voluntary capacity as an employee of the German traffic on the road and leads to the children exercises for traffic education by. The little ones makes it visible fun, the friends always fit exactly to that the feet also indeed enter the correct color plates. Who occurs a blue dot accidentally, is immediately warned loudly of the group.

Concentration and coordination exercises his colleague on that day, Michael Ebbing, with the children in the outdoor area. Ebbing, his character also active in the service of the police, has staked out a course and painted a crosswalk with pedestrian crossing. The children wear reflective vest ride the "road" to the two- and three-wheelers and must be careful to stop at the crosswalk and let the pedestrian cross the street. Again and again they find pleasure in causing small rear-end collisions. One child brakes, the other crashing of its predecessor - and laugh.

It takes a lot of empathy on the part of volunteers to reach out to the children and to provide them with the necessary knowledge on the road as early as possible. At the present time children spend their free time often watching television or computer instead of playing outdoors. Some move confidently through the course, while others need a little time to "warm up". Children, who move in their spare time, are on the road less at risk than others, it is also known in the German road. Spontaneous stop, dodge, complete with the scooter skill exercises, dodges - all these movements, when they are playfully taught and trained, act as safety reserves in a dangerous situation when quick reactions are required.

In other exercises it comes closer to the children, the issue of safety in the dark. Reflective stripes on clothes can, especially in the approaching dark season, save lives. If children are with vests or flashy extras dressed to school on the road, they can be detected faster and better on the road. About 80 kindergartens were contacted by the two volunteer’s county far, the time needed for such a Road Safety Day is not to be underestimated.

The 240 children of the elementary school were also up early on Friday. At the crossroads, they had positioned themselves together with teachers, parents and police officers. In the red phases at the traffic lights, they talked to the drivers, handed over their notes - and experienced a lot of understanding. "The drivers were all very nice and thanked the note and the information," said Anita (9) from class 4a. She herself lives and in the morning she has two crossroads on the way to the school. "But I always take good care," emphasized the fourth-grader.

The school has been taking part in the action at the beginning of the dark season for years. "The older people already know it and are therefore well informed," Ann, speaker, emphasized.

"But after actions like this, the children can then explain to their parents how they have to behave properly in road traffic."

Helmet and safety vest is the basis for any construction site

On the construction of the plant Pak in Nowak Sol took a picnic safety. On safety at work she tells us Arturo Asker of Wroclaw, Poland. And helmet, safety vest is the basis for any construction site

Recently we celebrated the day of remembrance of victims of accidents at work. But it's probably not the only reason to organize such a large training just in Nowak Sol?

The main organizer of the event is the general contractor. The idea was born in connection with the construction of participation in the competition organized by the National Labor Inspectorate. We wanted to raise the standards on construction sites and provide additional training. Hence the idea to organize a picnic health and safety, where companies that specialize in this industry in providing secure technical solutions, will have the opportunity to do lectures or training crew. We, as a safety service that operates on the construction site every day with the problems we face. And the day that disabled employees from work, allowing them to focus on what is most important, which is on safety.

Do you have any data showing how such training influence the improvement of safety? This is a long-term work...

Does many years of knowledge to the pile heads?

Exactly! We observe the employees and we see them in this evolution. At the time of making cooperation with them on one of the first projects to come to our building and wants they are often not prepared or hardware or training. We will hand out the safety reflective clothing to them for safety. You can see, however, that ending one project that you have become familiar with the rules, procedures and participating in such training, their approach to matters related to occupational health and safety is totally different. This awareness is raised; it is easier for us to work with them and above all safe. This is definitely a result, if you put it in the statistics, the lack of accidents on site. We raise this awareness, because you know that the closer the load and deadlines, the more increases the pace and threats grow.

And what are today the biggest sins on construction sites?

I say perhaps the most dangerous of these classes. First of all, it is working at height. Besides, the statistics also can be seen that the most severe and fatal accidents take place on the scaffolding. And yet I would add to this work in the trenches. There are also serious accidents occur, they are relatively rare, but if you happen to some, they are severe or fatal accidents. With this work we observe the greatest risk.

But such trifles in the style of coming to work without a helmet? It probably does not happen?

No. But a few years ago it happened.

Sometimes, as she walks through the city, you will see men on scaffolding without helmets and t-shirts...

Yes, in smaller firms without supervision it happens. This is standard.

We each employee must have a helmet, reflective vest. It also controls access to the construction site, are magnetic cards. Each first undergo training, and later gets a pass. And if you do not have these basic personal protection measures simply will not enter.
