Phaze Concrete and fellow construction companies are cautious of distracted drivers, but this is how drivers can help.
CEDAR CITY, UTAH, USA, June 25, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Distracted driving, at one time or another, to one degree or another, happens to everyone. Whether it is a personal issue that takes your mind off driving, or a screaming child, distractions are everywhere. Fortunately, most people learn to deal with distractions in a safe and careful way. Yet, even the best drivers can become distracted in construction zones. After all, there is a lot going on and sometimes, certain factors of construction processes can catch people off guard. However, distractions not only put you at risk, but also the people who are working in the construction zones
Phaze Concrete is keen on helping both fellow construction companies and the public stay safe. Thus, Phaze Concrete wants to educate people on the best practices to adhere to when traveling through construction zones. Sometimes, the unexpected happens, but if you are following these anti-distraction tips, you can have a chance to react.
Slow Down
Everyone has places to be. There are not a lot of people in the world who do not understand that everyone has commitments. However, going through construction zones is a constant area of the unexpected. There are people dangerously close to the cars and there are machines that could malfunction. Plus, yes, there is human error, on both ends. People, both driving and working can have an accident. Yet, by slowing down, you greatly decrease the chance that an accident, should it occur, will turn into a tragedy.
Increase Your Following Distance
Leaving plenty of room between you and the car in front of you is essential to keeping from becoming distracted. Often, construction zones force drivers to stop or slow down at random intervals. By leaving plenty of room between your car and other vehicles, you are ready for quick stops and other hazards.
Pay Attention to Road Signs
Road signs are put up for a reason. Unfortunately, sometimes, it seems that drivers think the road signs are lying. When asked to get into another lane, it is best to do so as soon as possible. Yet, some drivers try to wait until they have only feet of road left before complying. That is dangerous for everyone involved; construction workers, the car trying to get over, and other cars. The best way to quell this distraction, for yourself or from other drivers, is to listen to road signs and follow their directions immediately. That way, there will be plenty of time for you and others to keep everyone safe.
In summation, Phaze Concrete understands that distracted driving happens. Even though we all try to avoid it, it is sometimes inevitable. Therefore, the best that people can do is to focus their full attention in situations that are extremely perilous. This includes while driving through construction zones. Remember, everyone in that construction zone is responsible for everyone else. We have to all work together to ensure construction zones are productive, but safe environments.

The Hawk5 Gyroplane
The industry leader in gyronautics is partnering with UTVA to make high performance, cost-effective runway independent aircraft available throughout the world
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, U.S.A., June 26, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Today, Skyworks Global Inc. and UTVA, a subsidiary of Serbian-Government owned Yugoimport, announced a strategic partnership to manufacture Skyworks’ 5 seat runway independent gyroplane.
The Hawk 5 gyroplane combines the safety, reliability and cost effectiveness of fixed wing aircraft with the runway independence of a helicopter. Its simple, elegant design reduces much of the complexity associated with rotary wing aircraft, resulting in lower operating costs and higher reliability and making the Hawk 5 particularly well suited to serve delivery, transportation and patrol needs in a wide range of environments including the rugged conditions seen in developing countries.
The Hawk 5 will be built at UTVA’s 925,000 sq. ft. facility at Pancevo Center in Serbia, which has a rich tradition of aircraft manufacturing. Offering highly sophisticated production and system capabilities from a trained labor force of qualified aerospace professionals operating within an economically competitive region, UTVA’s 80+ years of demonstrated manufacturing excellence well-positions both companies to capitalize on and meet the demand for safe, low-cost runway independent aircraft. In addition to manufacturing its own aircraft, UTVA has achieved ISO 9001 quality assurance certification and has been certified by Boeing since 1990 as an airframe parts and assemblies manufacturer. As a Boeing certified supplier, the center has produced machined and sheet metal aircraft parts, tools and assemblies, including slats, wing tips and floor supports, for Boeing 737, 747 and 757 aircraft.
Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic stated: "I fully support the agreement between Skyworks and UTVA and believe that the production of gyroplanes in Serbia will be important to Serbia."
“This is a very historic day for our company,” remarked Skyworks-Global Executive Director Brig. General (Ret.) John Michel. “As the world leader in the science and technology of gyronautics, striving to make runway independent transportation systems available to cost-sensitive customers in the first world as well as to developing countries that lack the infrastructure to support maintenance intensive systems, this partnership enables us to produce safe, highly reliable and affordable aircraft for a host of markets that have, until now, been significantly underserved. With a strong leadership and technical team and a deep bench of intellectual property, Skyworks’ manufacturing partnership with UTVA positions us to be the first in the modern world to commercialize Gyrocraft at scale.”

Our focus is the patient, and everything we do is aimed at getting people back to health.”
— Raj Srivastava, MD, MPH, associate vice president of research
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, UNITED STATES, June 27, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Intermountain Healthcare has earned top accreditation from the Association for the Accreditation of Human Research Protection Programs (AAHRPP) for ensuring the highest protections for participants in Intermountain clinical research studies.
In receiving the accreditation, Intermountain joins the more than 70 percent of U.S. medical colleges and 85 percent of the top National Institutes of Health-funded academic medical centers, which are either AAHRPP accredited or have begun the accreditation process.
Notable accredited organizations include the NIH, the world’s largest public funder of research and Pfizer, the largest industry sponsor of clinical research.
“Our focus is the patient, and everything we do is aimed at getting people back to health,” said Raj Srivastava, MD, MPH, associate vice president of research. “This designation signifies the commitment our organization and researchers have to investigate and improve patient health through innovation and discovery, ultimately delivering that care to the people we serve.”
Along with Intermountain, two additional institutions also received AAHRPP accreditation, including the King Hussein Cancer Center in Amman, Jordan, and the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, Texas.
The designation from the AAHRPP is considered the gold standard and signifies the mission-driven culture of Intermountain to keep the well-being and safety of patients and research participants as the focal point of all clinical studies.
Currently, there are nearly 850 clinical studies underway by Intermountain researchers. Last year, Intermountain researchers and clinicians published 426 research studies in 15 different clinical areas.
At Intermountain, the assessment of each research proposal is done through an Institutional Review Board with great care before ever allowing patients to participate. Knowledgeable, skilled, and committed reviewers examine study proposals to ensure that the study has scientific merit, that potential participants are properly informed of the risks and benefits, and that all participants know that participation is voluntary.
AAHRPP is an independent, non-profit accrediting body that ensures human research protection programs meet rigorous standards for quality and protection. AAHRPP accredits high-quality human research protection programs (HRPPs) in order to promote excellent, ethically sound research.
To earn AAHRPP accreditation, organizations must show that they have built extensive safeguards into every level of their research operation and that they adhere to high standards for research.
