My friends and I have a paranormal investigation team. Our equipment is definitely in need of replacements.

What are some cost figures on the following?

Handheld infrared video cameras
EMF (Electro Magnetic Field) Gages
Portable infrared motion sensors.
high quality walkie talkies (long range)
handheld video cameras
high resolution surveillance cameras
digital audio recorders
portable carbon monoxide detectors
Anemometers
four channel DVR (for the computer)
a new laptop (lots of memory)
500 ft of video cable.
regular digital camera (with video and audio options)
the carbon monoxide detector is for when we go into old buildings incase there is one. its just a saftey mesure

Answer
Handheld infrared video cameras - ~$300-800 each
EMF (Electro Magnetic Field) Gages - ~$35 - $400 each
Portable infrared motion sensors. - ~$25 each
high quality walkie talkies (long range) - ~$25 -50 per pair
handheld video cameras - $150 - $800 each
high resolution surveillance cameras - $200 each
digital audio recorders - $30 - $125 each
portable carbon monoxide detectors - ~$40 each
Anemometers - ~$150
four channel DVR (for the computer) - USB version will run $100 - 150 each
a new laptop (lots of memory) - $300+
500 ft of video cable. - $25 per 100ft
regular digital camera (with video and audio options) - $150 - $1500 each

BTW, despite the criticism, good thinking about the carbon monoxide detectors. CO in a house can cause people to experience symptoms similarly to paranormal experiences. It looks like you are doing your homework and not just considering only ghostly options!

Help with teaching safety class?

joe

O.K. I got to do a safety class for my job. I am a server at a chain restaurant and May is safety month for the business. To start out I have a batcher s in Fire Science and Public Safety. I do not have a job pertaining to my degree for two reasons. The current state of job employment in the country and post Air Force injuries. I got seriously hurt in Iraq, so I can no longer be a firefighter, but I got job offers for a safety coordinator. Anyways since I am part of the NFPA (National Fire Association Association) I've seen the report of deaths from lack of operational smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors. It make me think of putting up a flyer on the bulletin board to check your smoke detectors at work, approved by my mangers. Well now I got the title âFire Marshal Billâ if anyone remembers that skit. Well I am the joke of the job so to say and now my managers put me in charge of the yearly safety meeting. Now I do not care what my co-workers say about me, I can take a joke as well as the next guy, but I do want to be taken seriously during the meeting.
First off my Dad died when I was ten when his house caught fire. His smoke detectors did not work and he died in his sleep from smoke inhalation. Also when I was a firefighter, I was a volunteer for two years before I joined the Air Force, I pulled a little girl out of a house that had a small fire. The house had smoke detectors, but now batteries in the device. The little girl and the mother died that night, getting the picture?
Well my class is on, you guessed it, fire safety at work and home. My place of employment tries to be proactive at work and home when it comes to safety, don't ask. Well did not tell my employees or my mangers about the above statements. This is a good opportunity for me to get some experience in teaching since the career I am pursuing will be teaching companies safety and injury prevention. The problem is that most of the co workers are young, 18, 19 year olds that do not want to come to this meeting. Don't get me wrong I like them all and do not get offended easily, but I do want them to âgetâ something out of this. At least have them check their smoke detectors, or get them installed.
Well should I do a power point presentation, video, Have sparky the dog come? The last one is a joke. Should I tell them my personal experiences? I don't want to be overly dramatic but get my point across. Oh, I did give my mangers a synopsis of what I am covering to make sure it is good with the layers, policies, etc. I just need some ideas to deliver the information with out looking stupid or boring. Please help and feel free to comment

P.S. If you got anything from the second paragraph: Check your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

Answer
Safety meetings are mandatory in most workplaces and your fellow workers need to shut up and listen and it will be as painless as possible. You should check with your boss and find out what NOT to do. also, you should say something about yourself if they are giving you a hard time about FM Bill, or you could play that up a little and show them you have a sense of humor.

I think slips and falls are important issues to cove in a restaurant.
You can always put in some info about home detectors at the end.
