SoloProtect to launch ground-breaking new lone worker device

June 22, 2018

SoloProtect Announces Its Official Spin-Off from Kings III - Move Sharpens Strategic Focus for Global Company and Drives Additional Value for Customers

COPPELL, Texas, June 22, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The international lone worker safety company, SoloProtect, is launching a key addition to its product range with the SoloProtect ID Pro, a highly innovative new product in the lone worker device space. The ID Pro will offer the most comprehensive platform for lone worker security, giving users the option of streaming video for faster verification during a live ‘Red Alert’, receipt of geographically-triggered risk messaging, and indoor location capability powered by Bluetooth and Wifi. SoloProtect will be co-announcing at two events this month – The Safety & Health Expo and IFSEC International, both of which take place at ExCeL, London, from June 19 – 21.

Announcing the ID Pro caps a hugely exciting year for SoloProtect. This launch reflects how many employers have wide-ranging lone worker applications and diverse needs with regards to staff protection and business activity. The SoloProtect ID Pro is tailored towards this, but also delivers genuine innovation into the lone worker market – one that has typically addressed lone worker risks with audio-based solutions since the industry’s inception

While a dedicated lone worker device (LWD) – The ID Pro’s video functionality also makes it a Body Worn Video (BWV) device, but with a greater focus on being ‘fit for purpose’ for civilian applications where streamed video evidence and discretion are a requirement. It is the smallest and lightest BWV device with cellular capability on the market, and since it is designed as an ID badge holder, it is easy to integrate into apparel and can be used independently of its video capability as needed.

John Broady, SoloProtect CEO, commented, “Our journey to bring the SoloProtect ID Pro to market is a hugely important step for our business. It has very much been part of a focus to deliver a tangible, high-quality lone worker experience from the start. Both to our current customer base, and also to engender a wider appeal to a greater number of lone worker applications and industry sub-sets that would benefit from this solution.”

Streaming both video and accompanying audio directly into SoloProtect’s Monitoring Center during an alarm gives the SoloProtect ID Pro several distinct advantages over traditional BWV devices:

ID Pro’s video recording is not “always on” – thus enabling a smaller device footprint, but also making it more accessible, and not cumbersome for a lone worker to integrate into their daily apparel. At 103g, the ID Pro is the lightest streaming BWV device available.
Video streams live to a SoloProtect Monitoring Center during a Red Alert. Giving comprehensive video verification (in combination with event audio) provides an operator the full picture of an event and better intelligence in scenarios where discernible pitch and tone do not reflect the level of threat or an unreferenced weapon. This will materially speed up response to an incident.
SoloProtect ID Pro is a low-end privacy impacting BWV product because of its user-defined recording deployment, based primarily on threat within the lone worker’s personal space.
SoloProtect manages resulting video data for the customer. A client is not faced with the need to overhaul systems or infrastructure in line with storing large amounts of video or having to address issues around redaction and deletion. SoloProtect supplies a client with video relating only to their genuine “Red Alert,” and will redact, store, and delete in line with the strict requirements reflected in our privacy policy, laid out in relation to Data Protection governance.

The SoloProtect ID Pro announcement is the first global product launch being made by the company in 2018, and is expected to be available across all operating markets by early Q4 2018. SoloProtect delivers solutions to lone workers in over ten different countries, and continues to advocate for greater empowerment of lone workers, better support mechanisms and review for managers, and greater ROI metrics for senior management.

In addition, the SoloProtect ID Pro offers the use of Bluetooth Beacons and is enabled with Wifi sniffing to assist the location of lone workers when indoors, where establishing a precise location can be problematic – particularly across a large site, or in a multi-story building. An existing or new network of beacons can be managed in SoloProtect Insights and in the event of a “Red Alert,” the SoloProtect Monitoring Center can request a response based on a location taken from the most recent beacon or network point seen.

Risk Messaging delivered through the ID Pro can also be deployed by a lone worker manager using SoloProtect Insights, both manually and automatically when triggered by location. It can be used to keep staff updated on a situation (a severe weather warning for example), or something more serious (a known Police response incident in a particular area of a city).

The extended functionality within SoloProtect ID Pro also has close ties with additional options set to be rolled out in SoloProtect Insights, the company’s Customer Engagement Portal. New features allowing lone worker managers to create the tailored Risk Message parameters and manage a network of Bluetooth Beacons is coupled alongside additional analytics giving comprehensive, digestible information outlining ROI.

Craig Swallow, SoloProtect Senior Vice President noted, “The strategic links between the ID Pro, and SoloProtect Insights gives our customers a great platform for growth – now and in the future. It’s a solid platform for investment, where a client is thinking about how a lone worker solution can give them more over time, and not just what they sign up to on day one. This is important when companies are looking to future-proof any investment made.”

Cal/OSHA Reminds Employers to Protect Outdoor Workers from Heat Illness as Temperatures Rise Statewide

June 21, 2018

OAKLAND, California, June 21, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Cal/OSHA is reminding all employers to protect their outdoor workers from heat illness and to encourage their workers to take preventative cool-down breaks in the shade as temperatures rise throughout California. The National Weather Service has issued excessive heat warnings for forecasts of triple-digit temperatures through the weekend, starting on Thursday in Southern California and beginning Friday in central and northern counties.

“During heat waves, employers must closely observe their employees for signs and symptoms of heat illness,” said Cal/OSHA Chief Juliann Sum. “As always, workers should be encouraged to drink water frequently and take preventative cool-down rest breaks in the shade when they feel the need to do so.”

California’s heat illness prevention regulation requires employers with outdoor workers to take the following four steps to prevent heat illness:

Plan – Develop and implement an effective written heat illness prevention plan that includes emergency response procedures.
Training – Train all employees and supervisors on heat illness prevention.
Water – Provide drinking water that is fresh, pure, suitably cool and free of charge so that each worker can drink at least 1 quart per hour, and encourage workers to do so.
Shade – Provide shade when workers request it and when temperatures exceed 80 degrees. Encourage workers to take a cool-down rest in the shade for at least five minutes. They should not wait until they feel sick to cool down.

Cal/OSHA urges workers experiencing possible overheating to take a preventative cool-down rest in the shade until symptoms are gone. Workers who have existing health problems or medical conditions that reduce tolerance to heat, such as diabetes, need to be extra vigilant. Some high blood pressure and anti-inflammatory medications can also increase a worker’s risk for heat illness.

In addition to the other requirements outlined in California’s heat illness prevention regulation, it is crucial that supervisors are effectively trained on emergency procedures in case a worker does get sick. This helps ensure sick employees receive treatment immediately and that the symptoms do not develop into a serious illness or death.

Cal/OSHA’s Heat Illness Prevention special emphasis program, the first of its kind in the nation, includes enforcement of heat regulations as well as multilingual outreach and training programs for California’s employers and workers. Online information on heat illness prevention requirements and training materials are available on Cal/OSHA’s Heat Illness Prevention web page and the Water. Rest. Shade. campaign site. A Heat Illness Prevention e-tool is also available on Cal/OSHA’s website.

Cal/OSHA helps protect workers from health and safety hazards on the job in almost every workplace in California. Employers and workers who have questions or need assistance with workplace health and safety programs can call Cal/OSHA’s Consultation Services Branch at 800-963-9424.

Complaints about workplace safety and health hazards can be filed confidentially with Cal/OSHA district offices. Employees with work-related questions or complaints may contact DIR’s Call Center in English or Spanish at 844-LABOR-DIR (844-522-6734).

Members of the press may contact Peter Melton or Frank Polizzi at (510) 286-1161, and are encouraged to subscribe to get email alerts on DIR’s press releases or other departmental updates.

Burns & McDonnell Receives Important Certification from Mexico’s National Center for Energy Control (CENACE)

June 21, 2018

Burns & McDonnell (PRNewsfoto/Burns & McDonnell)

KANSAS CITY, Missouri, June 21, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Burns & McDonnell has received a crucial certification from the Centro Nacional de Control de Energia (CENACE), Mexico’s independent system operator for the country’s electrical grid. Resulting from the 2013 Energy Reform laws in Mexico, CENACE operates and controls Mexico’s wholesale energy markets with the goals of promoting competition, efficiency, open access and planning for needed system upgrades and improvements. Prior to the reform, CENACE was part of Mexico’s largest state-owned utility, Comisión Federal de Electricidad (CFE).

The certification awarded to Burns & McDonnell allows the company’s engineers to access CENACE developed power system models, enabling review of a wealth of data on grid performance and specific areas where generation or transmission assets could help improve reliability and efficiency.

“The certification allows us to have access to the essential data needed for analysis, so we can advise both the system operator and our clients with our best engineering judgment on where upgrades, improvements or new generation might benefit overall system reliability,” says Noé H. Sáenz, Country Manager – Mexico, for Burns & McDonnell. “This level of information sharing is a win-win for both the system operator, CENACE, and developers and power generation and transmission owners in Mexico.”

Since the move to deregulate and partially privatize its electrical system, Mexico began moving quickly to integrate solar, wind and gas-fired generation on the system while also upgrading a deteriorated power transmission system. CENACE is responsible for implementing competitive wholesale power auctions intended to lock in lowest cost electricity suppliers as a means to upgrade the overall power grid for the entire country.

The power system certification earned by Burns & McDonnell enables the company to serve as a strategic consultant advising project developers on transmission constraints and which sites might have the potential to be built for the lowest cost and provide the most benefit to grid operations.

“There is an urgent need to upgrade and improve power systems as Mexico quickly transitions to a first-world economy,” Sáenz says. “So, time is of the essence when it comes to CENACE approval of projects that will upgrade the system. This certification allows us to better fulfill our consulting role in allowing clients to propose projects that have the best chance of success.”

Burns & McDonnell is a family of companies made up of more than 6,000 engineers, architects, construction professionals, scientists, consultants and entrepreneurs with offices across the country and throughout the world. We strive to create amazing success for our clients and amazing careers for our employee-owners.

Disneyland Resort Kicks off Summer with the Opening of Pixar Pier at Disney California Adventure Park on Saturday, June 23, 2018

June 21, 2018

PIXAR PIER OPENS AT DISNEY CALIFORNIA ADVENTURE PARK (ANAHEIM, Calif.) - The wonderful worlds of Pixar come to life at the Disneyland Resort when Pixar Pier opens at Disney California Adventure Park on Saturday, June 23, 2018. The newly reimagined land features imaginative neighborhoods, Pixar-inspired food, exciting entertainment and more. Anchoring Pixar Pier is the thrilling Incredicoaster, bringing guests the first ride-through attraction in the world to feature characters from Disney•Pixar’s “The Incredibles.” (Joshua Sudock/Disneyland Resort)

ANAHEIM, California, June 21, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — All things Pixar are kicking off summer at the Disneyland Resort as Pixar Pier opens at Disney California Adventure Park on Saturday, June 23, 2018. Beloved Pixar stories and characters come to life in this newly reimagined land that features the thrilling Incredicoaster and Pixar Pal-A-Round attractions, imaginative neighborhoods, Pixar-inspired food, the Lamplight Lounge, plus exciting entertainment and more. Guests will experience the wonderful worlds of Pixar in incredible new ways on this seaside waterfront at the Disneyland Resort.

Pixar Pier debuts during Pixar Fest, a limited-time celebration of friendship and beyond that runs through Sept. 3, 2018, throughout the Disneyland Resort. One of the highlights of Pixar Fest is the new “Together Forever—A Pixar Nighttime Spectacular” multimedia fireworks show at Disneyland Park.

Guests enter Pixar Pier through a dazzling marquee that leads to four whimsical neighborhoods. The first themed neighborhood is Incredibles Park, inspired by Disney•Pixar’s “The Incredibles” and home to the Incredicoaster, the first ride-through attraction in the world to feature beloved characters from “The Incredibles” franchise. The Incredicoaster takes guests on a super adventure with the Parr family to chase after the elusive baby Jack-Jack, a storyline that will connect with fans of Disney•Pixar’s latest film, “Incredibles 2,” which opened in theaters June 15. New music, lighting, special effects, exciting character figures and distinctively colored vehicles add to the thrills on this super-speedy coaster, the fastest attraction at the Disneyland Resort.

Adjacent to Incredibles Park is Toy Story Boardwalk, a neighborhood with the popular Toy Story Mania! attraction and its 4D carnival games. Guests can get ready to saddle up on Jessie’s Critter Carousel, coming in 2019.

Next to Toy Story Boardwalk is the charming seaside Pixar Promenade, which celebrates a collection of favorite Pixar stories. The iconic Mickey’s Fun Wheel has been transformed to the Pixar Pal-A-Round, taking guests up high to enjoy the beautiful sights of Pixar Pier from 24 freshly-decorated gondolas – each one adorned with a Pixar pal. Pixar Promenade also features the new Games of Pixar Pier, where guests can test their skills and win a prize at colorful pay-for-play game booths: La Luna Star Catcher, Heimlich’s Candy Corn Toss, WALL•E Space Race and Bullseye Stallion Stampede. Bing Bong’s Sweet Stuff is scheduled to open in late summer 2018 in Pixar Promenade, offering delightful confections such as saltwater taffy and rainbow cotton candy.

Just past Pixar Promenade is Inside Out Headquarters. Inspired by Joy, Sadness and the emotions of Disney•Pixar’s “Inside Out,” this neighborhood will feature another new family-friendly attraction, opening in 2019.

Fans looking for food and beverage with a side of story will enjoy the new Lamplight Lounge, an elegant yet fun gathering place for the entire family near the entrance of Pixar Pier. Lamplight Lounge serves a new menu of California casual gastro-pub cuisine that is playfully presented, along with unique signature cocktails. The seaside lounge contains a full bar with picturesque waterfront views of Paradise Bay from both upstairs and downstairs.

Lamplight Lounge celebrates the creativity, inspiration and personalities of the artists and storytellers who have brought Pixar stories to life. Guests will discover the artistic marks that Pixar “regulars” have left throughout the lounge, including concept art, a quick sketch on a coaster, memorabilia and collectible toys of beloved Pixar characters.

Creative food and beverage locations extend all along Pixar Pier, with stories and menu items inspired by Pixar films. Adorable Snowman Frosted Treats, already a fan favorite, is inspired by the lovable and not-at-all-abominable monster from “Monsters, Inc.” and it serves delicious soft-serve cones and parfaits. Jack-Jack Cookie Num Nums in Incredibles Park features baby Jack-Jack’s favorite treat for guests to enjoy. At Toy Story Boardwalk, guests will sample the fare at Poultry Palace and Señor Buzz Churros. Poultry Palace, which looks like the fun, oversized meal box and juice box featured in the Pixar short, “Toy Story Toon: Small Fry,” offers delicious turkey legs and chicken drumsticks. Señor Buzz Churros offers the quintessential Disneyland Resort treat. Further along the path at Pixar Promenade, guests discover Anger from “Inside Out” at Angry Dogs, a spot where the more Anger burns with rage, the hotter the hot dogs get.

The remaining areas of the original Paradise Pier – including Paradise Gardens, Silly Symphony Swings, Jumping Jellyfish, Goofy’s Sky School, Golden Zephyr and The Little Mermaid ~ Ariel’s Undersea Adventure – become a new land called Paradise Gardens Park.

Khan Academy and ETS Partner to Create Free Test Prep for Aspiring Teachers

June 21, 2018

PRINCETON, New Jersey, and MOUNTAIN VIEW, California, June 21, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — To help aspiring teachers succeed and to bolster the pipeline of future teachers, the nonprofit organizations ETS and Khan Academy announced a partnership today to develop free test prep for the Praxis^® Core tests, key exams for many candidates entering teacher preparation programs.

The goal of free prep for the Praxis^® Core Academic Skills for Educators (Core) tests is to help level the playing field for all teacher candidates.

“ETS is committed to expanding diversity, equity and opportunity in the teacher pipeline,” said Walt MacDonald, ETS President and CEO. “To do this we’re focusing our attention on the need to further support our teacher candidates by making sure that they have access to free tools and resources that enable them to succeed.”

With the Praxis Core tests prep from Khan Academy and ETS, aspiring teachers will gain the knowledge and skills they need to succeed on test day and beyond — all for free. The program will be available in spring 2019.

Free prep for the Praxis Core tests will diagnose each teacher candidate’s strengths and weaknesses. Each user will then receive a personalized study plan beginning at the user’s starting point and progressing right up to test day. The user will be guided through a series of in-depth instructional materials, including practice questions, videos, and tips, that meet the user’s unique needs in terms both of subject matter and time available to study the materials covered by the test.

“We’re delighted to work with ETS on the important goal of leveling the playing field for all aspiring teachers,” said Sal Khan, founder and CEO of Khan Academy. “We think free Praxis Core tests prep will bring many more candidates from diverse backgrounds into the teacher pipeline. We can’t wait to help them succeed.”

The Praxis Core tests prep will be Khan Academy’s third free and official test prep program for benchmark standardized exams.
