The administrative and support and waste management and remediation services sector provides support services to businesses and organizations and is part of the service industry. It encompasses businesses that offer administrative and office support, employment services, travel arrangement, and reservation services, facilities support services, and waste management and remediation services, including waste collection, disposal, recycling, and environmental remediation.

GAO’s BLE technologies have a variety of potential applications in the administrative and support and waste management and remediation Services industry. Here are cases of applying GAO’s BLE systems to administrative and support and waste management and remediation services:-

• Asset tracking - BLE beacons can be attached to office equipment such as computers, printers, copiers, and waste management equipment such as trash compactors, recycling machines, incinerators, or other assets to track their location and movement in real-time. This can help companies optimize their asset utilization and reduce loss or theft.
• People Tracking - BLE beacons can be used to track employees or visitors in office buildings. BLE people tracking can be used to ensure worker safety and monitor the use of personal protective equipment (PPE). Workers can be fitted with BLE tags, and if they are located in a hazardous area without the appropriate PPE, an alert can be sent to a supervisor or safety manager to take corrective action.
• Environmental monitoring –BLE beacons can be used to monitor environmental conditions, such as temperature or humidity, in waste management facilities or other locations where environmental conditions are critical.
• Parking control- BLE beacons can be used to monitor parking usage and control access to parking lots in the office. Gateways can be placed at entry and exit points to monitor occupancy and reduce unauthorized access.
• Waste bin monitoring- BLE beacons can be attached to waste bins to monitor their fill level and optimize waste collection routes. This can help reduce the number of unnecessary collections, lower operational costs, and minimize the environmental impact of waste management.
• Proximity Positioning- BLE beacons can be placed in hazardous areas, such as landfills or contaminated sites, to provide workers with real-time location information and safety alerts. Workers can be equipped with smartphones that receive alerts when they are in close proximity to a hazardous area, reminding them to take appropriate safety precautions.
