Abstract

The present invention relates to a safety compliance, identification, and security monitoring system that includes a monitoring device operable to capture images/videos of a predefined area and persons and events within the area. The monitoring device is further operable to determine whether persons within the area are wearing required personal protective equipment. In one embodiment, the monitoring device initiates an alert a safety equipment infraction. In one embodiment, the system is operable to further record an incident report identifying the nature, date, and location of the infraction, as well as the identity of the person committing the infraction. In one embodiment, the system is operable to monitor various external conditions, such as heat, humidity, smoke, and initiate an alert of the external condition detected. In one embodiment, the system detects quality assurance/quality control issues, including situations involving inspecting equipment, tools, and/or materials for non-conformance.
