SafetyLine™
Protects Environmental Enforcement Employees
Vancouver, BC, October 4,
2007—Tsunami Solutions Ltd., of Vancouver, British
Columbia is pleased to announce that following an RFP
and the subsequent awarding of a contract, the
Environment Canada employees who work in Environment
Enforcement in the Prairie & Northern Region will be
protected by SafetyLine™ when they work alone or in
isolation.
The Environment Enforcement
branch aims to create and sustain the most effective and
efficient environmental and wildlife law enforcement
function in fulfillment of statutory requirements under
the Acts administered by the Department by taking action
against those who violate environmental and wildlife
laws. This ensures that federal environmental and
wildlife laws and regulations are respected and that
enforcement measures are taken against alleged
offenders. Environmental enforcement officers enforce
federal legislation that deals with different risks to
the environment and its biodiversity. These laws
regulate, for example, the use of toxic substances,
their release to air, water or land, as well as the
import and export of substances that present a risk to
the environment and/or human life or health, such as
hazardous wastes and hazardous recyclable materials.
Regulations across Canada have
been enacted to ensure that Lone Workers receive the
same level of protection as those workers who work in
offices or work yards. SafetyLine™ has been proven to be
the most effective tool to automatically monitor these
workers and identify Emergency situations.
The SafetyLine™ automated
employee monitoring service uses telephony and internet
technologies to provide the most reliable and affordable
solution for companies and government organizations to
meet both the regulatory and moral obligations of
protecting employees who work alone. Employees are
currently using a wide range of devices including wired
telephones, cellular phones (Telus, Bell & Rogers ),
satellite phones ( Globalstar & Iridium ), Blackberry
devices, wireless Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs),
GPS/LBS devices, wireless and wired laptop computers as
well as standard office computers. SafetyLine™ works
with most communication devices and networks, in short,
SafetyLine™ works with your existing communication
devices.
Throughout the workday,
employees report their location and status to SafetyLine™
which automatically tracks the employees. In the event
that an employee fails to check-in, SafetyLine™
automatically contacts persons who can initiate an
Emergency Search and Rescue procedure.
