Near Field Communications adoption and safety inspections

By Jesse Kohl on May 17th, 2012 @ 12:21 pm

We’ve blogged about the benefits of Near Field Communication (NFC) technology in the past, pointing out its usefulness and potential when it comes to using NFC for safety inspections. Near field communication technology is in the news again this week, particularly in Canada, where major banking institutions have created a blueprint for making payments via mobile devices mainstream.

Using NFC-enabled smartphones for mobile payments is an interesting idea, which has had limited success in some countries and raises many questions about how consumers want to use their mobile devices… or not. Some people are comfortable with the idea of including credit card information on their mobile devices, and others aren’t so keen.

But the future will probably see a rise in adoption of NFC technology for mobile payment purposes. This, combined with growing numbers of smartphones themselves around the world, will likely contribute to even greater adoption of NFC for safety applications.

Safety management and productivity

By Somen Mondal on May 16th, 2012 @ 10:48 am

Safety Management and ProductivityAt Field ID, safety in the workplace is a priority, and our research in developing inspection software and safety management systems has shown that investing in effective safety management can yield a workforce and work environment that is not only safer but able to achieve complex goals with greater accuracy and efficiency.

We’ve added many people to our team over the past year, and we’re currently growing again – adding to our customer support, sales and development teams. This has me thinking about productivity and its relationship to safety management. Many workplaces support strong safety management for compliance purposes, but the benefits go beyond compliance and can help make your operations more productive… and more competitive.

What do asbestos inspectors look for during an industrial compliance check?

By Michelle Y. Llamas on May 14th, 2012 @ 10:05 am

Asbestos InspectionsAsbestos is a known carcinogen that if swallowed or inhaled can lead to serious diseases such as asbestosis, lung cancer or even a prognosis of mesothelioma. In response to the threat of asbestos exposure in buildings, the Canadian government passed the Occupational Health and Safety Act, Regulation 278/05 Designated Substance – Asbestos on Construction Projects and in Buildings and Repair Operations.

These regulations apply to anyone who is involved in the repair, maintenance or alteration of a building that may contain asbestos. In order to ensure that these rules and regulations are followed, certified asbestos inspectors are often called in to inspect a building for possible asbestos-containing materials (ACMs).

Introducing Field ID for the iPhone – a safety app made simple

By Matt Paterson on May 11th, 2012 @ 11:47 am

Today, we’ve officially announced the availability of Field ID for the iPhone. It’s been a week since we submitted the iPhone app to Apple for approval, which came late in the day yesterday. Needless to say, our team was excited and relieved at the same time. Apple’s quality assurance checks for apps that go into the App Store can be quite rigorous, and sometimes changes are requested. Once any changes are made to the software, you have to re-submit and play the waiting game all over again. But not with Field ID for the iPhone. Thanks to the hard work of our development team, the approval was quick and painless. As we did for the release of our iPad app, we’re sharing some screenshots today that show what Field ID looks like on the iPhone.
