Safety wristbands help parents find their lost children. These wristbands have been introduced in Wells to reunite lost children. Parents have to just write a contact number on the band so that children can be easily traced if they wander away from them on the beach. These bands can be availed at free of cost from coast watch volunteers, who are supporting the Wells Safer Neighborhood Team (SNT) to help boost child safety. PCSO Andrew Dixon at Wells SNT said: “This is a system that has worked well before and through other organizations. It gives parents peace of mind that they can be quickly contacted in the event that their child wanders off and can be found. We would like to thank the volunteers at Coast Watch for supporting the initiative.”

Ocean Beach Pleasure Park has introduced wristbands alongside traditional tokens. The bands will help visitors to have unlimited rides on the fair’s attraction. Michael Sheeran, operator of MJ Sheeran Amusements, said: “We wanted to give our customers good value for money this year and the new wristbands will provide this. It means people just have to pay once and can spend the full day at the fair. But we do still have tokens for those who want to just go on a couple of rides.” Wristbands cost £15 each or £13 if bought online, they cannot be used on bank holidays.

Leavers have introduced the concept of leavers only zone. Nearly 3,500 leavers attended the function on Monday; another 500-1500 will attend it next week. About 1100 wristbands were sold at Duns borough’s Lions Park where leavers lined up to get one. More wristbands were sold at Buss Elton bus station. It is estimated that nearly 5000-6000 wristbands will be sold this year. Twenty per cent of all the sales will go back to the Duns borough community through the leavers community appreciation fund. Police officers have found that there were less leavers showing up drunk at the zone, and many more behaving well and having fun. But there were a few arrests. Three male leavers were charged with assault and trespass after a minor fight broke out at a Duns borough caravan park that involved 10 leavers. One more leaver was arrested in the leaver’s zone for disorderly conduct.

Many surgical centers and hospitals in Pennsylvania use colored wristbands for patients who are facing allergic problems. But every hospital has different color schemes and medical messages which can pose a potential safety risk. But the situation will change because most of the Bucks country and eastern Montgomery country hospitals are planning to adopt a standardized patient wristband color coding system statewide. Purple means do not resuscitate; pink means restricted extremity; green denotes latex allergy; red is an allergy and yellow is a fall risk.

Due to certain problems in the past, Hospital & Health system association of Pennsylvania has created a pilot project where all the hospitals will follow a uniform wristband color. St. Luke’s hospital in Quakertown was the first hospital to use uniform wristband colors earlier this month. Earlier, the hospital was using three colors for restricted extremity. Other hospitals in the area are reviewing the products. Two hospitals like Frankford hospitals and Grand View hospital have planned to start using this band from next year. St. Mary Medical center in Middletown will implement this plan from Dec.1.

LaserBand LLC, the foremost global producer of patient wristbands, of late helped several hospitals realize local, regional, and nation wide color-code standards by creating Eco-friendly products, which assist in eradicating the confusion that might lead to medication errors, misidentification, and death. LaserBand’s color-code wristbands and particular safety measure products offer extremely-visible, safe, and patient-responsive solutions to the otherwise cost- and resource-consuming options at present on the market.

LaserBand has worked with statewide patient security groups, comprising the Missouri Center for Patient Safety, the Ohio Patient Safety Institute, and the New Hampshire Foundation for Healthy Communities, to provide color-code wristbands for hospitals and other health care groups denoting individual patient conditions of DNR, allergy, fall risk, latex allergy, and limb alert.
