Police alert that keeping this on when driving is ‘bad idea’
Removing your Kradard is not the first thing that comes to mind when you jump into your engine after you finish it. However, if you are unlucky enough to enter a car accident, according to a United Kingdom police force, doing so can help to minimize the risk of your injuries.
The force issued a warning following the previous events, which saw that the drivers were exposed to more serious injuries due to their cords. In a Facebook post, Dorset police volunteers said: “A few serious traffic accidents in which the wearing of identity cords around the necks of the drivers increases the severity of ongoing injuries (not in dorset police).
“This kind of accident is not likely – but staff, civil servants and volunteers should be aware of the danger and how to prevent it.
“A driver was involved in a small traffic accident and his companies were corded and passed. The car was placed in the coup of the airbag, and the airbag force caused the cord and the passage to be pushed to the driver’s chest, which required a lung to collapse and hospital treatment.”
The Post claimed that if the person hadn’t wore the cords, they would probably move away without being relatively damaged. Somperset Live, who reported this warning at the time, continued by sharing another incident that triggered this warning.
“In another accident, a NHS worker cakes, drug cabinets, cabinets and so on.
“Unfortunately, there was an accident that triggered the airbag. The power of the airbag caused the switches to pierce their intestines. It was in the hospital for more than 6 weeks and left work for 6 months.”
In 2019, Somerset Live wrote that everyone who could wear a cord (ie for work, school, college, university) “strongly recommends” that they removed before entering a car. This applies to both drivers and passengers.
How can employers protect their employees?
According to the British Security CouncilAlthough the injuries caused by wearing cords during driving are not very likely, it is important to reduce this danger as much as possible. Employers should take into account the warning of the police who first sees the scope of the damage caused by the cords.
Employers are encouraged to educate their employees about the dangers created by the cords. However, most importantly, they should ask them to lift their cords while going to work and driving as a part of their work.
This can be done, for example, by talking directly to employees, sending a company-wide e-mail, updating the policy documents in training sessions, and placing warnings to company tools.
After employees are told to remove their cords, employers should take steps to implement this rule. It can be as simple as watching employees as reasonable and reminding them of dangers and company rules.
