Spectroline

The Spectroline BIB-150P ultraviolet lamp is a sanitation tool designed to quickly and positively confirm the presence of trace amounts of rodent urine and droppings, oil, grease, dust and other impurities that cause health violations.

The BIB-150P ultraviolet lamp makes rodent hair and excrement fluoresce brightly. Hair glows blue-white and urine glows yellow-white when dry, bluer when fresh. Other contamination, such as lubrication oils and greases, bleaches and sulfide waste matter fluoresce different colors under the UV lamp, the company says. Spectroline says the BIB-150P’s rugged polymer housing is designed to be impact-resistant and dent-proof. A unique Built-In-Ballast bulb eliminates the need for a cumbersome, external transformer, the company says. The vinyl-coated, stainless-steel wraparound heat guard also acts as a convenient lamp stand.

Exaktime

Exaktime has introduced PocketClock/GPS for BlackBerry, software that transforms a BlackBerry smartphone into a portable GPS time clock and management tool for supervisors in the field. Part of The JobClock System, a time and attendance solution designed specifically for harsh or outdoor work environments, PocketClock/GPS lets mobile employees or crews clock in and out at dozens of locations each week and record what type of work they are doing. Each time punch includes a GPS fix so the office knows the location of every clock in/out and can quickly view travel times between locations. Managers also can set a virtual perimeter, or "geofence," around each jobsite to highlight employees clocking in/out. The system displays a map, pinpointing jobsites and overlaying attendance data onto the map.

A supervisor can use the BlackBerry’s camera to take photos at the work site and also can record audio field notes. Photos and voice recordings can be combined with written field notes typed into the BlackBerry and tagged either for the work site, an employee or for a work activity.
