Abstract
Various implementations for an automatic system and processes for monitoring the use of personal protective equipment in a work space are provided. The system includes barcodes attached to the personal protective equipment. The operation of the system involves capturing images of the work space and detecting human form objects and barcode objects in the images. The system and processes further involve calculating the probability that a user is wearing all personal protective equipment in accordance with safety rules applicable to the work space. In some implementations, the system and processes may be used to track personal protective equipment and other objects in a work space. Accordingly, the system and processes may be used to prevent or limit the occurrence of accidents, incidents and/or injuries in hazardous work environments.
