Construction Site Fence Banners

Banners add a great deal of value to construction fence signage. They are cost-effective, promote the company brand, and provide information about the project to passersby. They are also a safe way to block views of the construction work in progress and can help reduce urges for trespassing, vandalism, and theft.

Construction Fence Signage: Promoting Safety and Information Sharing

Construction site fence banners are available in a wide range of sizes. They can be printed in a variety of high-quality printing techniques. This allows for clear and concise messaging, while the use of bright colors ensures your message is visible from a distance. Durable materials and weather-resistant printing help your banner withstand harsh environmental conditions and ensure that the print retains its quality for a long time.

Mesh construction banners are ideal for outdoor areas with heavy winds. The material allows 30% wind pass-through to reduce the risk of your banner filling with air and acting like a sail in the wind. Our mesh also minimizes wear and tear on the banner itself, reducing the likelihood of it being torn or ripped off the fence.

For added protection, you can have your construction site banners reinforced with metal grommets inserted around the edges. This prevents the edges from tearing or fraying, especially when your banner is used in rough weather conditions. To hang your banner, simply attach the grommets with pear snap hooks (available on this product configuration page) to your chain link fencing. These hooks are easy to install and require no other tools or hardware.

Online Searches for Confederate Flag For Sale Have More Than Quadrupled in the Past 24 Hours

Since the shooting at a confederate flag for sale  church last week, some large retailers have announced they will stop selling Confederate flag merchandise in their stores. But online sales for the controversial emblem have soared since that announcement, as shoppers turn to Amazon and other major websites to stock up on items they might not be able to find in stores.

Online searches for “confederate flag for sale” have more than quadrupled at Amazon’s Movers and Shakers Patio, Lawn and Garden section in the past 24 hours. That is according to analytics company Topsy.

Searching for History: Confederate Flag for Sale and Its Complex Legacy

At Alabama Flag & Banner in Cleburne, orders for Confederate flags have skyrocketed. Owner Belinda Kennedy says they typically make a handful of special orders per year, but that has changed. Since 2015, when the Confederate battle flag came roaring back into the national consciousness after images of Dylann Roof carrying it at a church shooting emerged, she says many of the country’s major flag manufacturers stopped making them and her business became one of the few that did.

Heartland Flagpoles and Custom Flags in Des Moines has sold 12 Confederate flags in the two days since Walmart, Sears (which also operates Kmart) and eBay said they would stop selling the rebel emblem, and she’s fielded calls from dozens more wanting to purchase. Like Kommes, she suspects the increase in interest is because the flags may soon be hard to find, just as it was after the Charleston church killing.

What Is a Fire Curtain?

A fire curtain is a large, fire-resistant drape that remains discretely suspended in ceilings and corridors along escape routes until triggered by the smoke or fire alarm. It then acts to compartmentate and prevent the spread of fire, reducing the risk of people being trapped in areas that will not be safe for evacuation.Learn more :https://fireshutters.uk

The curtains are operated and monitored using a control panel, which interfaces with the building fire alarm system. The panel also includes the facility to connect a battery back-up to maintain the curtain(s) in their fire operational position for a predetermined period should power fail.

Flat Roofing: Pros, Cons, and Maintenance Tips

As with any fire protection product, the design and installation of a fire curtain should comply with global dedicated standards. For this reason, Coopers Fire works closely with third-party assessing bodies who are UKAS accredited and can certify fire curtain products to BS 8524.

Fire curtains can be either straight lift (motorized) or manual in operation, depending on the size and complexity of the application. If there is sufficient fly space, a straight lift fire curtain can be motorized via a lineshaft winch and lowered by pressing a button when the smoke/fire alarm is activated.

Manually operated systems require a drencher head on each side of the curtain to deliver water when the curtain is signalled to descend. This prevents the curtain from dropping too quickly and allows firefighters to reach the fire floor to assist in extinguishing the flames. The drencher heads have 3 indication lights, and a buzzer and push buttons for manual operation.

The Correct Sequence of Electrical Testing

Whether you’re working on a new electrical installation, or carrying out an initial verification inspection or periodic test on an existing one, it’s vital that the tests are carried out in the correct sequence. Not only can doing so minimise the risk of electric shock for yourself and others, it’s also necessary to ensure that your electrical system is compliant with BS7671 and satisfies statutory regulations such as the Electricity at Work Regulations.Source :https://eicr-testing.uk

Here’s how to do it:

1. Visually inspect the installation.
This includes checking that all protective conductors are intact and properly connected. It also means making sure that all switchboards are correctly labelled, and that RCDs and fuses have the appropriate ratings for the circuit they’re on.

2. Check the continuity of the ring final circuit.

In order to check the continuity of a ring’s final circuit, you’ll need to connect your multimeter to each socket in turn. Then, by switching the meter to the resistance setting, you’ll be able to see which of the three wires are connected in series. The meter should show infinity if there’s an open circuit, or zero if it’s closed.

3. Verify the polarity of the phase conductors.

This is important because if there’s incorrect polarity, parts of the installation may still be connected to the live phase conductor when a single-pole switch is off, or an over-current protection device has tripped. This can be done by connecting the tester to a piece of cable with known resistance, and then to the live of the furthest socket in the circuit to be tested. The reading you achieve will need to be deducted from the total insulation resistance result for that circuit.

French President Emmanuel Macron Gets Lukewarm Support From Romanian President Klaus Iohannis

BUCHAREST (AP) — French President Emmanuel Macron received lukewarm support Thursday from Romania for his push to overhaul the system of cheap labor from Eastern Europe posted temporarily to more prosperous European countries. He met with President Klaus Iohannis at the Cotroceni presidential palace, where he raised concerns over so-called “posted workers” who are paid less than their home country’s minimum wage while paying taxes and social charges to their homelands.

The French-Romanian interim roumanie bilateral economic relationship is based on high-value added industrial cooperation, particularly in automobiles (Renault-Dacia represents 8% of Romanian exports and employs 18,000 people), aeronautics (Airbus Helicopters has a plant in Brasov), energy (Engie is the leading gas distributor and supplier in Romania), and telecommunications (Orange leads mobile telephony in Romania). In addition, France has a significant presence in retail with Carrefour, Auchan and Leroy Merlin, as well as in education through its numerous universities in Romania.

Cultural Adaptation: Experiences of Romanian Workers Living in France

Physicians from Romania are numerous in rural hospitals that struggle to recruit locally. They are especially numerous in specialties suffering from recruitment problems, such as anaesthetics-intensive care and radiology and medical imaging, and they are even more present in psychiatry departments.

Many make remittances to their families in Romania to cover basic living costs and care for elderly relatives. This long-distance solidarity is a form of intergenerational solidarity that is not always visible. However, they are not a solution to the brain drain of the healthcare sector and can’t offset an overall loss in the French hospital workforce.
