Abstract: The present invention relates to a worker's personal alarm device for generating alarms. The alarm device includes a health monitoring means for monitoring at least one health parameter relating to a worker. The device further includes a controller for generating an alarm subsequent to determining that the health parameter is indicative of unacceptable health. The controller also generates an alarm based upon one or more conditions relating to an allocated protection zone.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a portable computational device for protecting at least one worker. The device is configured to send a protection request for allocation of a protection zone for at least one worker. The device is also configured to receive confirmation that the protection zone has been allocated. In one embodiment, the device is configured to both monitor the location of the worker relative to the protection zone and determine whether a hazard is co-incident with the protection zone.
