Abstract
A system and associated interfaces are provided that permit the monitoring of workers and equipment within the workplace environment. In one aspect, an equipment sensor having various sensing capabilities may be assigned to a piece of equipment that records various parameters that are specific to the piece of equipment. For instance, it is appreciated that there may be an equipment sensor that can be attached to the piece of equipment that is adapted to monitor certain parameters associated with the piece of equipment and its environment. For instance, an equipment sensor assigned to the piece of equipment may be capable of determining the location of the piece of equipment, along with motion, altitude, and the presence of an operator of the piece of equipment.
