U1902S-TOOL-BIT

Published: May 1, 2018

Untitled-1

After purchasing Uticom’s Anti-Theft Brackets for Sign Installation, you’ll notice that the brackets have an interesting looking bolt for attatchment. The bolts are stainless-steel one-way bolts, whicn means that they are unable to be removed (after installation) with just an ordinary flat-head screwdriver. This is no accident, we designed our brackets this way to ensure the utmost security for our signs.

Uticom Systems, Inc. introduces a revolutionary tool in our line of anti-theft products. The U1902S-TOOL-BIT is a versatile screw-driver that is sold with 7 interchangeable heads, including our U1902-BIT or U1902-BIT-1024 bits. These unique bits are needed to remove the one-way bolts that were used in installation of your signs, with your new anti-theft brackets. Setting up the brackets can be done by a normal flat-head screwdriver, but removal can only be done by our U1902S-TOOL-BIT. If you already own a interchangeable screwdriver, you can purchase the bit heads separately.

U1864 Confined Space Cover Sign

Published: March 16, 2018

Often confined space work goes unmarked, which could potentially lead to a hazardous liability. If a confined space work area is left unmarked, it has a higher probability of being fallen into.

Uticom Systems, Inc. has developed a confined space cover sign to prevent unwanted liability surrounding a manhole. Our cover sign is useful for any area that meets the following three criteria: (1) the space is large enough for a person to enter it, (2) has limited or restricted means of entry or exit, and (3) the space is not designed for continuous occupancy. The sign increases confined space safety and reduces the risk of falling or unauthorized entry into a manhole.

Our new cover sign is durable and easy to install. Place two standard safety traffic cones are on either ends of the sign for increased visibility of the confined area. It is manufactured from a 1/8” x 18” x 36” piece of sturdy, reflective polycarbonate. The sign is also availabnle as a high strength label that is to be applied to a piece of strong plywood on site.
