MARION, S.C., Oct. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Rockland Custom Products, a leading pioneer in first responder health and safety solutions, announced today that they have released their long-awaited UVC Germicidal Light for their Patented Gear Clear Venting System®. 

With hundreds already sold and in use in many of the nation’s most prestigious fire departments, the Gear Clear Venting System® has been protecting firefighters and their passengers from the harmful effects of toxic off-gassing emitted from their soiled turnout gear through its highly-effective active ventilation system. The addition of the UVC Light now allows Gear Clear to eliminate germs and contaminants on the surfaces inside the cabinet as well!

The added dangers first responders today face from exposure to viruses, bacteria, and mold are especially concerning to the brave men and women who were already worried about exposure to the toxic, cancer-causing carcinogens at emergency scenes.  The Gear Clear Venting System® with UVC Germicidal Light will assist in the further reduction of toxins that can harm firefighters and first responders transporting their soiled gear back to the fire house or to their homes. Studies have shown that UVC lights can eliminate many types of pathogens, including fungi, bacteria, viruses, microorganisms, and more.

The Gear Clear UVC Germicidal Light is available immediately on single Gear Clear units as well as Gear Clear command cabinet configurations. The UVC light can also be purchased separately and installed into existing Gear Clear models. Please visit www.rocklandcustomproducts.com or email info@rocklandcustomproducts.com for additional information.

Study Confirms teenSMART Reduces Crash Frequency and Severity

ELK GROVE, Calif., Oct. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — When safety awareness and defensive driving programs fail to reduce teen crashes and save lives, give ADEPT Driver® a call. Today ADEPT released the study <a target="_blank"…

ELK GROVE, Calif., Oct. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — When safety awareness and defensive driving programs fail to reduce teen crashes and save lives, give ADEPT Driver® a call. Today ADEPT released the study Safety Benefits of teenSMART Driver Training. This study was conducted by Dunlap and Associates, Inc., a research and consulting firm that conducted the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration-sponsored evaluation of the safety benefits of the Risk Awareness and Perception Training program for novice teen drivers (RAPT study) in California in 2016.  For the teenSMART study, motor vehicle records for more than 5,000 teenSMART graduates were compared to the control group used in the RAPT study.

«The new Dunlap study shows that teenSMART graduates had an average of 28% and up to a 49% reduction in crashes over the control group,» said Dr. Richard Harkness, CEO of ADEPT Driver. «Based on the tragically high teen driver crash rates, we know young drivers need effective crash-reduction training. We invented teenSMART to address this need, and are glad that this study is consistent with multiple other studies that document teenSMART’s effectiveness at reducing teen driver crashes.»

The Dunlap study also found that the teenSMART group had 54% to 67% fewer traffic violations one year after training. This was statistically significant and another hard data indicator that ADEPT’s crash-reduction training improved teen safe driving behaviors behind the wheel. In addition, the study notes that premium reductions allowed by state insurance boards in 49 states for completion of teenSMART also suggest the insurance carriers are providing similar actuarial evidence to support the effectiveness of the program.

The study suggests that to reduce teen driver crash rates, proven crash-reduction training like teenSMART could be integrated into existing graduated driver license programs, and could be effective as part of Phase 2 Driver Education after a young driver has received a first license for unsupervised driving.

«Our programs are the science-based alternative to safety awareness and traditional safety programs that provide basic knowledge of driver safety to the public,» said Dr. Harkness.  «However, there is little or no evidence that awareness, traffic citation or defensive driving programs reduce crash frequency or severity or save lives. This should not come as a surprise as these courses do not treat the underlying causes of the crashes, or measurably improve critical skills needed to avoid a crash – most notably, visual awareness, hazard detection and risk perception. Insurance companies know this and are abandoning the awareness programs in favor of ones that show statistically significant improvement in teen driver crash avoidance skills and behaviors using hard data.»

ADEPT shared the findings of the Safety Benefits of teenSMART Driver Training study during National Teen Driver Safety Week (October 18-24, 2020), to encourage families with teen drivers to augment mandated «rules-of-the-road» training with proven crash-reduction training to ensure young drivers have the necessary skills to stay safe when behind the wheel.

Flight-Sharing Startup Creating Space For More Travelers To Fly Private

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS, Colo., Oct. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The popular ridesharing concept is quickly gaining traction in the charter air travel market.

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS, Colo., Oct. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The popular ridesharing concept is quickly gaining traction in the charter air travel market. SharedCharter is a new online service that offers more passengers access to the luxury of flying private through their proprietary peer-to-peer network that simplifies the process of sharing and booking private charter flights.

SharedCharter’s smart database is the industry’s first peer-to-peer flight-sharing network for flying private for less.

«When charter flights fill empty seats, typically the price of the flight goes down for all the travelers,» says Carl Marbach, President and CEO of SharedCharter, and veteran pilot. «I realized there was a need for a hub where people could easily find others to share their desired flights, and at the same time, significantly reduce the price of the flight versus chartering the plane on their own.»

The process starts at SharedCharter.com where passengers can search the network for existing flights or sign up for a no-cost membership to initiate a new itinerary or join an existing trip. When two parties match a flight, SharedCharter provides secure, anonymous communication between them to discuss specifics, and assistance from the company’s exclusive concierge to manage flight arrangements among thousands of private air travel brokers and Certified FAA plane operators.  

SharedCharter is also addressing the headwinds of commercial flying in this era of escalating public health concerns. The ability to fly private during this time of Covid-19 is arguably safer than flying commercial airlines with thousands of people at large airports and hundreds of people crammed into a plane. Fewer people, less spread. 

The company’s model intends to make flying private accessible to a whole new audience interested in upgrading their experience with its numerous advantages, including private concierge service, no TSA screening lines, custom food and beverage, bag retrieval in minutes, and door to destination travel time cut by hours. The SharedCharter network will also be appealing to existing private flyers looking to take advantage of the cost savings per trip, and advantageous for brokers and private jet operators because more people will be in the market to fly private due to lower prices.

For more information, contact SharedCharter.com.

ROUSH CleanTech Begins Production of New Gen 5 Propane Fuel System

LIVONIA, Mich., Oct. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — ROUSH CleanTech, an industry leader of advanced clean mobility solutions, began production of its Gen 5 propane autogas fuel system last month. The company’s innovative propane autogas technology integrates Ford’s new 7.3L V8 engine in Class 3-7 chassis.

LIVONIA, Mich., Oct. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — ROUSH CleanTech, an industry leader of advanced clean mobility solutions, began production of its Gen 5 propane autogas fuel system last month. The company’s innovative propane autogas technology integrates Ford’s new 7.3L V8 engine in Class 3-7 chassis.

«ROUSH CleanTech continues a 10-year journey of investing in new technology development with our Gen 5 propane fuel system,» said Todd Mouw, president of ROUSH CleanTech. «Our engineers have been working extensively to ensure that our propane fuel system marries seamlessly with the new Ford engine to give our fleet customers the best product on the market.»

Ford’s new 7.3L engine is compact, durable and easy to maintain. It is narrower than the previous 6.8L, allowing it to fit into multiple vehicle chassis and be serviced with similar automotive parts across each chassis. Innovations for the Gen 5 propane fuel system include stronger and lighter forged fuel rails and a support bracket that keeps the engine fuel distribution well organized.

The engine is designed to meet current and future emissions requirements. ROUSH CleanTech’s Gen 5 is certified to California Air Resources Board’s optional low nitrogen oxide emissions standard of 0.05 grams per brake horsepower-hour (g/bhp-hr). The Gen 5 system reduces greenhouse gas emissions, which helps optimize fuel efficiency, and can operate on renewable propane, which further reduces emissions and carbon intensity values.

Propane is a popular alternative fuel for commercial fleets due to the domestic fuel’s reduced costs and emissions. «The new propane fuel system from ROUSH CleanTech is a prime example of the growing success of the propane autogas vehicle market,» said Tucker Perkins, president and CEO of the Propane Education & Research Council. «With propane autogas, fleets can lower their operating costs by 40 to 50 percent while helping their communities cut harmful emissions.»

As ROUSH CleanTech marks its 10-year anniversary, it continues to be at the forefront of clean technology with its new Gen 5 system. The company has designed, engineered, manufactured and installed advanced clean fuel systems since 2010, selling more than 37,000 vehicles across the United States and Canada.

As a Tier 1 supplier and Ford Qualified Vehicle Modifier manufacturer, ROUSH CleanTech’s propane autogas vehicles retain all quality Ford performance characteristics, such as horsepower, torque and towing, while maintaining the OEM factory warranty.

«We have a decade of customers operating over 20,000 propane vehicles, and we won’t leave them behind,» Mouw said. «We will continue to support our propane vehicles with 6.8L engines through our in-house customer service and hundreds of service centers across the nation.»

The Gen 5 propane fuel system is now available.

About ROUSH CleanTech: ROUSH CleanTech, an industry leader of advanced clean transportation solutions, is a division of the global engineering company Roush Enterprises. ROUSH CleanTech develops propane autogas and electric propulsion technology for medium-duty Ford commercial vehicles and school buses. With more than 37,000 vehicles on the road, the Livonia, Michigan-based company delivers economical, emissions-reducing options for fleets across North America.

¡Despeje su camino para disfrutar las fiestas!

WASHINGTON, 21 de octubre de 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Es importante practicar buenos protocolos de seguridad todo el día, todos los días. Pero, en especial, es importante durante las fiestas. Hay tantos preparativos por hacer, decoraciones, compras, cocinar, que en ocasiones las personas pierden de vista algunos riesgos comunes que podrían terminar arruinando las celebraciones.

WASHINGTON, 21 de octubre de 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Es importante practicar buenos protocolos de seguridad todo el día, todos los días. Pero, en especial, es importante durante las fiestas. Hay tantos preparativos por hacer, decoraciones, compras, cocinar, que en ocasiones las personas pierden de vista algunos riesgos comunes que podrían terminar arruinando las celebraciones.

Para el Servicio Postal de los Estados Unidos, la seguridad de nuestros empleados y de las comunidades donde prestamos nuestros servicios siempre ha sido una prioridad esencial. Tenemos algunos consejos para mantener seguros, no solo a nuestro personal cuando esté entregando sus obsequios, sino también a usted y a su familia.

Cuidar a los empleados del Servicio Postal 

Además de asegurarse de que quien trae sus paquetes tenga el camino despejado hasta su puerta, existen otras formas de proteger tanto a su repartidor como a otros empleados del Servicio Postal durante las fiestas y todo el año.

  • Evite empacar sus cajas más de la cuenta. Además de que podrían reventarse, las cajas empacadas en exceso pueden causar accidentes. Los artículos deben caber fácilmente dentro de la caja, sin abultar los lados ni romper las uniones. Si no logra empacar todo en una caja, considere usar un tamaño más grande o hacer varios envíos. Los clientes pueden adquirir gratuitamente cajas Priority Mail y Priority Mail Express de diferentes tamaños en su oficina postal más cercana.
  • Evite enviar artículos restringidos, como alcohol, o productos a base de alcohol, como colonias y perfumes. Los aerosoles o fuegos artificiales tampoco están permitidos. Por favor, consulte nuestro sitio web o pregunte a un empleado del Servicio Postal para obtener más información sobre artículos restringidos.
  • Si corresponde, retire las baterías extraíbles de cualquier dispositivo que funcione con estas. Envuélvalas y ubíquelas junto a los artículos dentro del paquete. De ser posible, los clientes deberían incluir baterías nuevas en su empaque original sellado.

«La seguridad es importante durante todas las épocas del año. Pero incluso la persona más precavida podría olvidar hacer chequeos de seguridad simples y rápidos debido a los afanes y el trajín de la temporada de fiestas», afirmó Linda DeCarlo, directora sénior de seguridad y salud ocupacional de USPS. «Intente destinar unos cuantos minutos cada día para revisar y corregir riesgos potenciales dentro y fuera de su casa. Esos minutos podrían hacer la diferencia entre unas fiestas felices o no».

Dentro y fuera de la casa 

Es mucho lo que usted puede hacer para prevenir o reducir los accidentes durante las fiestas. Cuando esté cocinando, voltee siempre los mangos de las ollas hacia la parte de atrás de la estufa para evitar chocarse accidentalmente con estos y provocar derrames. Mantenga a los niños a un mínimo de 3 pies de distancia de la estufa y supervíselos todo el tiempo. Asegúrese de que no haya nada que pudiera incendiarse cerca de la estufa cuando está caliente.

Si está afuera, retire la nieve y el hielo de los escalones, andenes, accesos y alrededor de su buzón. Asegúrese también de poner sal en las zonas que despeje para evitar que se vuelvan a congelar.

La nieve y el hielo pueden no ser un problema para usted, pero eso no quiere decir que no deba vigilar los riesgos en el exterior de su casa. Los equipos de jardinería, los juguetes y los desechos de jardinería sobre su césped, senderos o escalones pueden causar caídas o accidentes graves. Para los habitantes de la casa puede ser fácil evitar estos riesgos, pero para su repartidor puede no serlo. En muchas ocasiones los repartidores tienen sus manos llenas de paquetes y podrían no ver los obstáculos que hay en el camino. Solo toma un momento verificar que su jardín y andenes estén libres de riesgos para mantener a todas las personas seguras.

Los familiares peludos 

Nosotros amamos a los peludos que son parte de la familia. Ellos son una alegría todo el tiempo. Pero hasta los perros mejor educados, incluso los gatos, pueden representar un desafortunado riesgo para las personas que no conocen.

El año pasado, más de 5,800 empleados del servicio postal, y la impresionante cantidad de 4.5 millones de estadounidenses, fueron atacados por perros. Muchos de estos ataques podrían haberse evitado si los dueños de los perros hubieran tomado un momento extra de precaución. El Servicio Postal participa en la Semana Nacional de la Prevención de Mordeduras de Perros todos los años, y aquí presentamos algunos consejos para que usted, su repartidor y su perro estén seguros durante las fiestas y todo el año.

  • Si la persona que trae su correo o sus paquetes va a hacer la entrega en la puerta, lleve a su perro a una habitación separada y cierre esa puerta antes de abrir la de la casa. Algunos perros irrumpen a través de las puertas mosquitero o ventanas laminadas para atacar a los visitantes. Los propietarios de los perros deben asegurar a la mascota de la familia.
  • Los padres deben indicarle a sus hijos y a otros miembros de la familia que no reciban la correspondencia directamente del repartidor si está presente la mascota familiar, ya que el perro puede interpretar el gesto de la persona entregando el paquete como una amenaza.
  • La seguridad de los empleados del Servicio Postal es una prioridad esencial para la organización. Si un empleado se siente amenazado por un perro, o si hay un perro suelto o sin correa, es posible que se le pida al propietario que recoja su correspondencia en la oficina postal, al menos hasta que el repartidor pueda verificar que la mascota está sujetada. Si un perro está deambulando por el barrio, también es posible que se le pida a su dueño que recoja su correspondencia en la oficina postal local.

Puede consultar información y noticias adicionales con respecto a las fiestas, incluyendo fechas límite para envíos y correspondencia nacional, internacional y a las fuerzas militares en la sección de fiestas en la Sala de Prensa del Servicio Postal: usps.com/holidaynews.

El Servicio Postal no recibe dinero de impuestos para sus gastos operativos y depende por completo de la venta de sus productos y servicios postales para financiar sus operaciones.

Para los habitantes de la casa puede ser fácil evitar estos riesgos, pero para su repartidor puede no serlo. En muchas ocasiones los repartidores tienen sus manos llenas de paquetes y podrían no ver los obstáculos que hay en el camino. Solo toma un momento verificar que su jardín y andenes estén libres de riesgos para mantener a todas las personas seguras.

Los familiares peludos 

Nosotros amamos a los peludos que son parte de la familia. Ellos son una alegría todo el tiempo. Pero hasta los perros mejor educados, incluso los gatos, pueden representar un desafortunado riesgo para las personas que no conocen.

El año pasado, más de 5,800 empleados del servicio postal, y la impresionante cantidad de 4.5 millones de estadounidenses, fueron atacados por perros. Muchos de estos ataques podrían haberse evitado si los dueños de los perros hubieran tomado un momento extra de precaución. El Servicio Postal participa en la Semana Nacional de la Prevención de Mordeduras de Perros todos los años, y aquí presentamos algunos consejos para que usted, su repartidor y su perro estén seguros durante las fiestas y todo el año.

  • Si la persona que trae su correo o sus paquetes va a hacer la entrega en la puerta, lleve a su perro a una habitación separada y cierre esa puerta antes de abrir la de la casa. Algunos perros irrumpen a través de las puertas mosquitero o ventanas laminadas para atacar a los visitantes. Los propietarios de los perros deben asegurar a la mascota de la familia.
  • Los padres deben indicarle a sus hijos y a otros miembros de la familia que no reciban la correspondencia directamente del repartidor si está presente la mascota familiar, ya que el perro puede interpretar el gesto de la persona entregando el paquete como una amenaza.
  • La seguridad de los empleados del Servicio Postal es una prioridad esencial para la organización. Si un empleado se siente amenazado por un perro, o si hay un perro suelto o sin correa, es posible que se le pida al propietario que recoja su correspondencia en la oficina postal, al menos hasta que el repartidor pueda verificar que la mascota está sujetada. Si un perro está deambulando por el barrio, también es posible que se le pida a su dueño que recoja su correspondencia en la oficina postal local.

Puede consultar información y noticias adicionales con respecto a las fiestas, incluyendo fechas límite para envíos y correspondencia nacional, internacional y a las fuerzas militares en la sección de fiestas en la Sala de Prensa del Servicio Postal: usps.com/holidaynews.

El Servicio Postal no recibe dinero de impuestos para sus gastos operativos y depende por completo de la venta de sus productos y servicios postales para financiar sus operaciones.

Enterprise Plus and Emerald Club Loyalty Programs Offered Across these Popular Destinations 

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Enterprise Holdings announced today that its flagship Enterprise Rent-A-Car brand has opened its first locations in Aruba and Panama, as well as 25 additional branches in Brazil. The new locations – which are already taking reservations – join the National Car Rental and Alamo Rent A Car brands in all three countries. Enterprise Holdings owns all three brands.

Enterprise Rent-A-Car joins National Car Rental and Alamo Rent A Car in Aruba. The brand has also launched in Panama and expanded in Brazil.

The Enterprise Rent-A-Car branch in Panama is located in Panama City’s Tocumen International Airport – one of the busiest airports in Central America and a key destination for many business travelers. In Aruba, one of the top destinations for leisure travelers from the United States, the new location is at Queen Beatrix International Airport in Oranjestad.

The new branches in Brazil increase Enterprise Rent-A-Car’s presence in the country to 77 locations. The brand has grown rapidly in Brazil, South America’s largest market; all of these locations have opened since its Brazilian launch in 2019.

The openings are all part of the company’s ongoing expansion in Latin America and the Caribbean. Enterprise Rent-A-Car made its debut in the Caribbean in 2014 and expanded into Latin America shortly thereafter.

Customers traveling to Aruba and Panama can enjoy more perks and rewards with the expansion of two loyalty programs: Enterprise Plus through the Enterprise Rent-A-Car brand, and the award-winning Emerald Club through the National Car Rental brand.

«Aruba, Panama and Brazil are integral to our continued global growth, as we seek to serve business and leisure travelers alike wherever they are in the world,» said Peter A. Smith, vice president of global franchising at Enterprise Holdings. «As these destinations reopen for international flights, we’re dedicated to providing our customers a rental process that is safe, convenient and strengthened by our world-class customer service. And, as customers begin to travel again, increasing the availability of Enterprise Plus and Emerald Club is one more way to thank them for their business.»
