| New Mine Rescue Alarms Receive MSHA Approval Following the Sago mine disaster, Grace Industries was approached by a group of mine rescue personnel who asked Grace to develop a robust, cost effective alarm that would assist them in locating trapped or injured miners during an emergency. The result is a line of Mine Rescue Alarms (MRA™) that provide protection for miners,maintenance workers, inspectors and mine rescue personnel. For protracted emergencies Grace offers an alarm that will sound for 72 continous hours. Other models offer motion sensing, auto-on activation and temperature alarms for rescue teams. All models were MSHA certified on April 4, 2008, (Approval No. 18-A080004-0) for use in underground operations. Grace 2-Close Proximity Alarm Surface, strip and quarry mining all have great potential for large earth moving equipment backing over personnel on the ground. Using tried and tested telemetry technology Grace developed the simple but effective Grace 2-Close System. When the worker on the ground pushes the distress button it automatically sets off a strobe light and siren in the cab, signaling the driver to immediately hit the brakes. This system can also alert supervisory personnel and can be used with one vehicle or an entire fleet. Grace Industries Launches New Website Due to an increasing presence in a wide range of market sectors and niches, Grace Industries recognized the need to create a new web presence. After an extensive search, Grace selected eCity Designs, LLC, to handle the total re-design. "Nikki Snyder of eCity Designs did an excellent job with the new website. Not only does she have a thorough grasp of the latest web design technology, she and her staff took the time to develop an understanding of our company, our products, and the types of customers we serve. I feel this attention to detail gives us the professional look we were seeking, and helps our customers and resellers navigate their way to the life safety solution that best suits their needs", said Craig Walker, Vice President & National Sales Director.

MSHA Approval Being Sought for Lite Trackers Recognizing that personnel who operate in underground mines can be endangered by motorized equipment and other machinery, Grace Industries is submitting several models of its popular Lite Tracker® line of personal visibility products for MSHA approval. These rugged, nearly indestructible devices are expected to offers a higher degree of personal visibility, and therefore personal safety. Grace Industries Creates AVL Partnerships While GPS based Automatic Vehicle Locating (AVL) Systems have been in place for some time, one component that has always been missing is a remote 'Worker-Down' feature to anable workers to call for assistance, even when they are away from their vehicles. Rob Shoemaker, Director of Grace's Mobile Lone Worker division reports that, "Grace now has established excellent working relationships with Certified Tracking Solutions, Fleet Management Solutions, Network Innovations, Quality Communications, SaskTel - LoadTrak Division, and TransCore to provide mobile lone workers with one or two-way emergency signaling". Contact Rob Shoemaker at 1-800-204-7277 for details regarding the Life Safety AVL Solution that best suits your needs.
