Regulations and Standards for your Handheld / PDA
Wireless transmission of information is one of the fastest growing areas
today in the technology section. The ability to send information via wireless
cards for PDAs (personal digital assistants) opens up a whole spectrum
of instant communication for construction. The construction industry has
for a significant period of time transmitted schedules, drawings, estimates,
etc., through the internet/intranet. This transmission requires hard wires
from a specific location. Recently, with the advent of wireless capabilities,
these documents may be transmitted to and from even smaller jobsites or
roving crews. UPS and FedEx has been using this technology for many years.
You utilize this technology each time you sign for your package delivery.Imagine
having the ability to update the construction management program from
the construction site, send immediate results of check lists, audit forms,
etc., directly into home office to show compliance with contract documents,
regulations, etc. Being able to receive safety talks, memos and notices,
the Safety Messenger provides instant access to any number of tool box
talks which can be coordinated with today's activities. Attendees can
sign off on these talks as having attended. All of this information can
be transmitted instantly to a secure file. We are also able to provide
huge documents, such as policy manuals, OSHA Regulations, A10 Standards,
etc., on a memory chip, easily inserted into the PDA for access to all
information needed to assure a compliant jobsite.
