School Bus Safety Product Supplier Unveils Temporary Mask Purchase Program
The school bus safety product supplier is offering its School PPE Purchase Program to provide a guaranteed supply of the masks after demand outpaced its recent donation of 90,000 masks, which it distributed through a partnership with the National Association of State Directors of Pupil Transportation Services. “Our goal is to provide schools and contractors access to PPE [personal protective equipment], allowing everyone to get back to the new normal with one less headache to worry about,” First Light said in a flyer detailing the program. Pupil transporters who are interested in participating in the program should issue a purchase order to First Light Safety Products, indicate their desired order quantity (minimum 2,000 pieces) and preferred lead time (10 weeks at 60 cents per mask or four weeks at 80 cents per mask), and pay a 50% deposit of the purchase order value. Upon receipt, First Light will confirm the estimated time of arrival and the shipment will be sent. The remaining 50% of the purchase order is then due. Visit this page for more details on First Light's School PPE Purchase Program.
Important Jack Recall
❗ Read for critical equipment recall information ❗ Harbor Freight Tools has announced a recall of more than 1.7 million Pittsburgh Automotive 3-Ton and 6-Ton Heavy Duty Steel Jack Stands for a defect that poses a significant risk to your safety. Owners of these jack stands are asked to immediately discontinue use due to safety concerns. Injuries have been reported due to this issue. Specifically, the jack stands may collapse under load, which can increase the risk of injury to people near or under a lifted vehicle. There are two separate recalls for the jack stands. NHTSA recall 20E016 involves an estimated 454,000 units that were produced from June 13, 2013, to November 22, 2019. NHTSA recall 20E027 involves an estimated 1,254,000 units that were produced from December 1, 2012, to March 31, 2020. 3-Ton jack stands with item number 61196 and 56371, and 6-Ton jack stands with item number 61197 are subject to this recall. The 61196 and 61197 jack stands can be identified by checking the item number found on the yellow part of the label on the base of each jack stand. The 56371 jack stands can be identified by checking the item number found on the label on the top of each jack stand. NHTSA encourages all consumers to report any safety concerns to the agency online or by calling our Vehicle Safety Hotline (Toll-Free: 1-888-327-4236 / Hearing Impaired (TTY): 1-800-424-9153).
