tempocasesCAM New 'Preferred Provider' Tempo Cases Offers Anti-Theft Protection 


As you know, equipment and vehicle theft is a real and ever-increasing problem in the construction industry.  With that in mind, we are excited to announce that CAM has partnered with Tempo Cases. Tempo designs and manufactures high tech GPS tracking systems to protect against theft and loss of valuable assets and vehicles.  Tempo's AnyCase GPS Tracking Device is a small, lightweight device that mounts easily inside tool boxes and cases, trailers, trucks, light and heavy construction equipment, and just about anything else without the need for damaging hardware or complicated mounting brackets. 


The AnyCase Device has an integrated motion sensor that lets it notify you by text message and/or email if anyone moves your property without your knowledge.  You can also draw Geofences around areas on the map that your property shouldn't leave or enter and your device will notify you if it crosses any of your Geofence boundaries.  The AnyCase Device is camouflaged and is not recognizable as a tracking device; it even comes with a false "Humidi-Shield" label that makes it look like a humidity monitoring device. 

The AnyCase Device comes with a free mobile app for Apple and Android mobile devices, as well as a secure web-based tracking and account management portal.  These platforms let you track and monitor your property remotely from anywhere in the world using your smartphone, tablet or computer. The AnyCase Device works in over 120 countries around the world, and Tempo offers low-cost monthly tracking subscription plans for customers based in the U.S., Canada and Europe, as well as international tracking plans for cross-border use.

bartonBarton Malow Joins National and Global Construction Firms to Celebrate Safety Week

 

Barton Malow Company, Southfield, recently joined national and global construction firms to celebrate US Safety Week, which ran from May 3rd to May 9th. In its second year, Safety Week was recognized by over 40 national and global construction firms making up The Construction Industry Safety (CISI) group and the Incident and Injury Free CEO (IIF) Forum with a single goal: To inspire everyone in the industry to be leaders in safety.


In the largest effort of its kind, leaders of the world's largest construction companies together promoted a new culture of worker safety. Forty-four companies - representing hundreds of thousands of workers - united in the safety campaign, putting a spotlight on the commitment to accident-prevention that takes place every day.  

 

"Safety Week was an opportunity to increase safety awareness and reaffirm an emphasis on being committed to safety each and every day," said Ryan Maibach, president, Barton Malow Company. "'Build it safe, no exceptions' is the Barton Malow Safety Standard, and we are committed to maintaining a safe and healthy environment for all employees-both in offices and on projects."

 

During Safety Week, Barton Malow featured daily safety topics, which included: pre-task planning; vehicle safety; hand safety; ladder safety; and safety communication.  Each daily topic incorporated a coordinating video and toolbox talk for offices and jobsites to utilize.
