Abstract
A cellular phone and personal protective equipment usage system comprises a camera for detecting a person within an environment and a processor which receives information detected by the camera and determines whether the person is involved in distracting activities such as using a cellular phone or other portable electronic device, or print media, or is using personal protective equipment, and issues an alarm signal upon determining that the person is using a cellular phone or is not using personal protective equipment. The camera may be provided on or within a vehicle and the person is an operator of the vehicle. Alternatively, the camera may be mounted in a stationary location within a working site.
