New Newsletter Verticals

Two of the fastest-growing security markets.
Now covered every week.

School safety funding is at record highs. Hospital security budgets are growing double-digits. The integrators winning these projects are the ones who stay current on the technology, legislation, and standards — and that's exactly what these sections deliver.

🏫 School & Campus Security

Lockdowns, Threat Detection, and the Technology Keeping Students Safe

K-12 and university security is one of the most funded — and most complex — sectors in physical security. Every week we cover what's being deployed, what legislation is passing, and what the technology actually looks like in the field.

The Wellness Corner

Because the trades will work you into the ground if you let them.

Every issue of The Life Safety & Security Brief includes a dedicated wellness section. Not fluff. Not HR-speak. Written peer-to-peer, by someone who understands what 60-hour weeks in the field actually costs you.

The conversations no one is having at the job site — burnout, fatigue, hobbies, work-life separation, what overwork does to the quality of your work and the safety of your crew — are the ones happening here, every week.

01
BURNOUT & OVERWORK
The real cost of 60-hour weeks on your safety, quality of work, and long-term health. How to recognize the signs before it becomes a crisis — and what to do when it does.
02
FATIGUE & JOBSITE SAFETY
Overworked technicians make more mistakes. The data is clear and the consequences are severe. How chronic fatigue impairs judgment and what supervisors can do before someone gets hurt.
03
HOBBIES & RECREATION
The technicians who bowl, fish, hunt, coach youth sports, and pursue hobbies outside work consistently outperform those who don't. What the science says about why separation makes you sharper on the job.
04
WORK-LIFE SEPARATION
Practical strategies for field technicians and PMs who carry the job home. Building real boundaries that protect your family time, your mental health, and the longevity of your career.
Code & Compliance Reference

NEC and ADA. Searchable. AI-assisted. Built in.

⚡ NEC INSTALLATION STANDARDS — 8 ARTICLES
Every article relevant to life safety and low voltage trades — with common field violations listed per section.
Each section shows the code requirement alongside the violations that fail inspections most often. Your crew knows what to look for before the inspector does.

Common questions.

Everything you need to know before buying. Still have questions? Contact us.

What's the difference between the toolkit and Project Workspace?
The toolkit ($119 one-time) is 8 standalone browser tools you own forever — PM reports, AI playbook and schedule builders, safety checklist, toolbox talks, NEC/ADA reference, electrical calculators. Each works in any browser, no account needed. Project Workspace ($39/mo and up) is a separate SaaS product with a real backend — multi-user projects, print markup, photo capture with voice notes, branded PDF reports. They're complementary but priced separately because Workspace has ongoing infrastructure costs (cloud storage, database, file hosting).
What's included in the Workspace tool?
Upload PDF and image floor plans, then drop device icons for all six trades (fire alarm, security, CCTV, network, sprinkler, suppression). Add cloud notes and sticky notes anywhere. Take photos on your phone and record voice descriptions that transcribe live. Tag each photo with device type, location, and status flag (installed, needs correction, needs attention). Generate branded PDF reports from any combination of your data — five templates included: Daily Update, Punch List, Customer Weekly Progress, NFPA 72 Pre-Inspection, and Substantial Completion. Invite team members via 8-character codes — each project is isolated and only invited users can see it.
Can I share Workspace projects with customers?
No — and that's intentional. Workspace projects can only be accessed by users you explicitly invite via the project's invite code. There's no public sharing option, and customers can't accidentally access your data. You can deliver final PDF reports to customers via email, but they never have access to the underlying project. If you want a customer to have access to a project, they'd need to purchase their own Workspace subscription.
Which Workspace tier should I start with?
Starter ($39/mo) is right if you're running one project at a time with a small team (3 people). It includes browser-native voice transcription which works well in most environments. Pro ($79/mo) is right if you run multiple jobs simultaneously, want better voice accuracy (Whisper AI), or have 4+ field technicians. Business ($149/mo) is right for established contracting companies running unlimited concurrent jobs with multiple PMs. You can upgrade or downgrade anytime.
What school and campus security topics does the newsletter cover?
Every issue includes a dedicated school & campus security section covering: lockdown system technology, gunshot detection systems (SDS), AI-based active shooter detection, mass notification and PA system updates, secure vestibule design, visitor management, school safety legislation and grant funding, behavioral threat assessment programs, K-12 and university campus security deployments, and PASS guideline updates. When school security is the selected focus for an issue, this section expands to 3-4 in-depth paragraphs with technology specifics.
What healthcare security topics does the newsletter cover?
Every issue has a healthcare security section covering: hospital workplace violence prevention technology, infant protection systems (HUGS/Kisses), patient wandering and elopement prevention (RTLS, wander management), duress and panic systems in clinical settings, healthcare access control, emergency lockdown integration with fire systems, HIPAA and physical security compliance, and Joint Commission security standards. When healthcare is the focus, the section goes deep on specific systems and technology with integrator-relevant detail.
Do I need to install anything?
Nothing for the toolkit — all 9 tools run entirely in your browser. No downloads, no app stores, no accounts required. For Workspace you'll create an account on the web (no install). Both work on desktop, tablet, and phone. Workspace is optimized for mobile camera + voice flow on phones.
Can I put my own company name on the PDFs?
Yes — all toolkit tools use your company name on every exported PDF. Workspace lets you set your company name globally and on individual reports. No third-party branding on your documents.
What's the refund policy?
7-day full refund on the toolkit, no questions asked. Workspace subscriptions can be canceled anytime — you keep access through the end of your billing period. Newsletter subscribers can cancel anytime — no partial refunds on annual plans after 30 days.
