A system and method for visually locating tools and objects, and particularly very small tools and objects, so that same are not left behind in a work area after a work task is completed. The system comprises an identifying component made from a polymeric material tinted with a neon colored pigment. A separate identifying component is fixedly attached to each tool or object to be used within a work area. The identifying component is adapted to glow or become highly luminescent with a fluorescent like glow when illuminated with a light of a certain wavelength. The system employs such a light source having an optical coating over a lens thereof which passes only light having a predetermined wavelength. A user also wears an optical element such as a pair of glasses which have an optical coating thereon adapted to pass only light having a predetermined wavelength. The optical element worn by the user serves to attenuate ambient light in the work area so that the luminescence of the identifying component is enhanced when the tool is viewed by the user.
