Reflective material: Celebrate Halloween with prudently

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.

New traffic law: motorcyclist wear safety vest will be safer



Motorcycle riders are the most clueless with the new traffic law.
Yesterday was quite normal driving without retro reflective clothing and no lights on their vehicles to see.
Both are requirements circulation any time of day and disrespect carries a fine of ¢ 47,000 for each violation.
Diego Herrera, director of the Traffic Police, confirmed that the non-use of safety vest or any other suit was one of the repeated violations s yesterday.

Furthermore, it is common to see that drivers take advantage of the dams to advance in the middle of the road.
Under the new traffic rule, who forth between lines of vehicles more than 25 kilometers per hour is exposed to a fine of ¢ 94,000.
The new provisions do not like at all drivers who complain of being forced to use safety devices at all times.
However, Silvia, director of the Road Safety Council, explained that the use of this device throughout the day approved the recommendation of the Motorcycle Importers Association.

"As there are sunny days, there is very dark or rainy days, when clarity is drastically reduced and it is necessary to make them visible," said Bolanos.
It is planned that next Tuesday discusses the regulations with the specifications of the retro reflective vest; then it would take public consultation (through publication in La Gaceta) and is expected to govern two weeks later.

Another complaint is that motorcyclists are forced to turn on the lights at any time and that represents an additional expense of battery. But Bolanos said the battery of the bike "generates one, and there is no justification for saying that consumption increases."

Accent developed new gloves with reflective fabric



Reflective accessories and clothing brand Accent is probably one of the most famous products of Polish cyclists - from amateur to players. It consists of two factors: excellent availability Accent in retail sales and a good value for the quality of their products. Autumn in our editorial entertained Accent Lobster gloves that reached us along with the already tested the gloves Ice Storm (test available here). Winter came to us this year a little later, and when he appeared, showed his usually gentle face, so the test model Lobster have to wait for the more demanding conditions. It is finally the assumption of one of the warmest Accent models on offer.
Building
Which glove everybody can see - 5 fingers, cuff ... oops! Exactly Model Lobster is different, what you see at first glance. The tested product belongs to the group of gloves with a common chamber for several fingers (in this case three). The chamber is inside a separate "guides" or those who prefer tunnels, for each finger individually. The index finger and thumb are separate, which of course is related to the need to shift the braking convenient and simply improved and a driving bicycle is not always easy winter conditions. Lobster model building type has its supporters and opponents, but one thing is certain - additional layers and the spaces between them, which can be found in the model Lobster, give us more protection from the cold. The model is available in a wide range of sizes, so no problem, each with potential users will choose for themselves the appropriate size.
Gloves on the front side were enriched waterproof membrane Hipper. The membrane together with the material well diverters sweat is extremely important when talking about the use in the winter. Each of the riders knows that frost can protect, but frost combined with moisture is often difficult obstacle to overcome. On the inside they are sewn Lobster (like their thinner siblings Ice Storm) of the material in suede-like structure, which gives solid and secure grip on the handlebar. We find compulsory thumb loop reflective fabric in advance, which will enable us to wipe his face.
Winter gloves is another extremely important element - is obviously cuff. In the case of the tested model Accent decided on the cuff in the form of a flexible, high-puller. At the outset, part of the users is known to be prejudiced against this type of cuffs - finally after 30 minutes of dressing on the bike we will have to take care of pulling the sleeve to the cuff, so that frost did not work on our wrists. Those less many patient users will appreciate, however, is that this type of cuff will be better warmed their joints. The circle is closed, there are pros and cons.
Lobster accent like other manufacturer's models were enriched with reflective tape, which in conjunction with the hem side in a fashionable color fluorescent increase our visibility on the road (automatically increase the visibility of our gestures, signaling twist, etc.). Admittedly, the whole present themselves nicely gloves and aesthetic inscription Accent, the manufacturer's logo and the selvages colored fluorescent build effective product design.
