Grace Industries and Teletouch Communications have joined forces to introduce the LIFEGUARD SYSTEM that will help protect mobile lone workers. Using the Grace’s T PASS II, a proprietary man-down motion sensing device, or Grace’s SuperCell technology, the LifeGuard System links a wireless lone worker to a vehicle that is tracked by GPS. LifeGuard System can be activated manually or by lack of motion, and the tracking signal is received by central command. Within 30 seconds after activation, the wearer’s location is displayed on the command center’s computer screen, showing the longitude and latitude and street address. Where applicable, the name of the employee and other vital information such as a medical profile can be displayed.

Pelican Product’s SABRELITE™ED and M8 LED FLASHLIGHTS feature recoil LED technology that focuses light by firing it backward. A special parabola-shaped reflector then captures 100 percent of the light and reflects it forward. The resulting parallel-focused beam of light is free from scattered peripheral light, which greatly increases its ability to cut through obscure environments like smoke, steam, vapor, and dust. Since there is no filament involved in the process, the bright white, color spectrum-tested light is also free of the black spots, shadows, and distortion found in traditional filament-based lighting. Offers brighter light, extended battery life, and focused light for up to 10,000 hours of bulb life. Generate a beam 33 times brighter than competitors, with a lux reading of illuminative intensity of more than 1558. (800) 473-5422 or (310) 326-4700. Web site: www.pelican.com.
