EMERGENCY RESPONSE
Spot-r EvacTag is the first construction- specific solution to alert workers to a job site evacuation in real time. Lever- aging Triax Technologies’ proprietary Spot-r mesh network, IoT sensors, and cloud-based dashboard, Spot-r EvacTag changes the way contractors both signal an evacuation and monitor progress. The Spot-r EvacTag enables supervi- sors to trigger a 100-decibel, flashing sitewide alarm and monitor real-time worker headcounts and location via
the dashboard to ensure everyone is accounted for. Spot-r EvacTag provides critical visibility and safety benefits and reduces the time it takes to evacuate a site by 72 percent. www.ohsonline.com/productinfo

FALL PROTECTION/PREVENTION
Create a tool tethering point in seconds. No tape. No tail. No bull. Just slip it on, tether up, and get to work. Connection points for tool lanyards can be tricky to find, especially on smaller hand tools like screwdrivers and hex keys (Allen wrenches), but Ergodyne’s patented SlipsTM design makes it easy to create
a retrofit tool attachment point. Simply “slip” the tool attachment into the tool and connect a Squids®Tool Lanyard to complete your tethering system. The star points of its interior will hold its location, and the swiveling exterior ring will provide a simple, secure connection. www.ohsonline.com/productinfo

ERGONOMICS
Companies can use Cority’s new Ergo- nomics Management solution to enable employees to report information to staff that provides an understanding of em- ployees’ ergonomic risks levels, helps prioritize resources, and empowers employees to be accountable for their health. From a business perspective, this reduces the number of ergonomic injuries and compensation costs and improves employee productivity and satisfaction. Employees can report ergonomic self-evaluations to help staff assess workers’ ergonomic health. They can request assistance from staff and report workplace hazards that they observe to staff. www.ohsonline.com/productinfo

GREEN TECHNOLOGY
EcoTek is a manufacturing technology that drastically increases the biodegrad- ability of single-use nitrile gloves. SW Safety Solutions’ EcoTek uses naturally occurring microorganisms that break down the nitrile in gloves for nutri-
ers, rendering gloves over 90 percent biodegraded after 945 days, compared to industry standard, non-biodegradable gloves that break down approximately
1 percent in the same timeframe. Specailized landfills also can capture biogas released from EcoTek products as a source of renewable energy. All
SW single-use gloves will incorporate EcoTek.
