NEWS AND INFORMATION
Please join Plastic Safety Systems in extending thoughts and prayers
to the Kovacs family in the passing of our friend and co-worker,
James E. Kovacs.
Jim passed away April 15 after an extended battle with cancer. As a Customer Service Representative, Jim's forte was building relationships while satisfying the needs of PSS customers. One of Jim's short term goals was to see the arrival of his first grandchild, Samantha Morgan, who was born February 6. After his family, his main hobby was cooking, especially his family's traditional Hungarian dishes.
Correspondence may be mailed to Plastic Safety Systems for forwarding to the Kovacs family.
The Kovacs family has requested that any donations be made to the following:

NCHRP-350 TESTED &
APPROVED
FHWA Acceptance #WZ-61
On June 1st of this year, Plastic Safety
Systems, Inc. contracted with Midwest Roadside Safety Facility at the
University of Nebraska - Lincoln to conduct a safety performance
evaluation in accordance with NCHRP report No. 350 of our Category 2
device, PST-III™ plastic type III barricade. Test 3-70, according to
the guidelines set forth in the 350 report of work zone traffic control
devices, requires that the device be impacted both at 90 degrees and 0
degrees. Crash test results demonstrated that the impacts created
minimal damage to the crash test vehicle. It was also determined that
the PST-III™ could be set-up and re-used after impact, thus providing
an added benefit.
Upon reviewing the test results, the Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA) determined that the PST-III meets the required
NCHRP-350 standards and is acceptable for use on the National Highway
System (NHS). This letter of acceptance has been designated as number
WZ-61.
