Choosing the right handheld radio is crucial for optimizing communication efficiency and saving time and money in various work environments. Motorola Radios provide instant communication, streamlining tasks such as locating personnel, managing supplies, task changes, and equipment coordination. To make an informed decision, consider factors like digital versus analog technology, UHF or VHF frequencies, power levels, and the desired range and coverage. Digital and UHF radios offer superior coverage, especially indoors, while VHF works well in open areas. Power levels impact both range and clarity, with higher power enhancing coverage. The number of channels required depends on workgroup separation, and Motorola Radios ensure compatibility with older models and other brands that share frequencies and codes. The radios are rugged, designed for all-day business use, and are programmable to work with repeaters and base stations. Motorola offers a 2-year warranty (1 year on accessories) covering

Feeling in the dark about high-visibility compliance and performance classes?
Let us help—we have a wide range of high-visibility apparel that meets the ANSI/ISEA 107-2015 Standard. This standard provides a uniform, authoritative guide for the design, performance specifications, and use of high-visibility and reflective apparel, including safety vests, shirts, pants, and outerwear.
ANSI/ISEA 107-2015 breaks down high-visibility apparel into Types and Performance Classes. The environment in which the worker is wearing the garment dictates the type selected, while the performance classes provide a range of design options
that correspond with the level of risk and the certified high-vis material and certified reflective tape needs of the wearer. - May 08, 2015
At Nelson-Jameson, we often get questions from customers asking about how to find the right size when ordering boots for female employees. For those not familiar, industrial/work boots are generally sold only in men's sizes. Hence, things can start off on the wrong foot for buyers hoping to find their employees the right footwear.
Though some variance does occur among manufacturers and among different kinds of footwear styles, a general rule to consider is:" women can find the right boot by subtracting two." For example, a U.S. Women's 8 generally converts to a U.S. Men's 6. In our experience, this works well for ordering both boots and inserts.
If you have any questions though, don't hesitate to call us and we'll "walk" you through the process to help you find the perfect pair of boots for you or your employees!

The June issue of the CDC’s Vital Signs discusses the disturbing fact, that when it comes to norovirus: “…the amount of virus particles that fit on the head of a pin would be enough to infect more than 1000 people.” Not only that, but this tough contender can withstand freezing, as well as temperatures up to 140˚F; it causes 19-21 million illnesses in the United States alone; and it holds the championship belt for being the “most common cause of foodborne-disease outbreaks in the United States”!
However, norovirus does not have to prevail this winter (a time when the illness frequently shows up). One simple, but very effective treatment is out there that can limit the spread
