  • Patent number: 11816789
    Abstract: Apparatuses, methods, and computer program products for safety compliance determinations are provided. An example method includes receiving three-dimensional (3D) image data indicative of a field of view of a 3D imager that includes a first user upon which to perform a compliance determination. The method further includes generating a fit parameter associated with a safety device of the first user within the field of view of the 3D imager based upon the 3D image data, the fit parameter indicative of an associated positioning of the safety device relative to the first user. The method also includes comparing the fit parameter with a compliance threshold associated with the safety device and generating an alert signal in an instance in which the fit parameter fails to satisfy the compliance threshold. In some instances, the method may supply the 3D image data to an artificial neural network to generate the fit parameter.

  • Patent number: 10390157
    Abstract: Embodiments relate generally to devices, systems, and methods for assessing a hearing protection device. A method for assessing a hearing protection device may comprise monitoring sounds with a hearing protection device; transmitting sound measurements from the hearing protection device to a portable electronic device; transmitting the sound measurements from the portable electronic device to a server; comparing, with the portable electronic device or the server, sound measurements to a look-up table; suggesting, with the portable electronic device, the most suitable hearing protection device to be worn based on a comparison between the sound measurements and the look-up table.

  • Patent number: 10311401
    Abstract: Embodiments relate generally to a system having one or more computerized kiosks (102, 150, 160, 180, 192) operable to associate a personal protection device (104) to a worker's personal information. In some embodiments, the kiosk (102, 150, 160, 180, 192) can use the worker's personal information to custom configure the personal protection device (104), so that the device (104) will better suit the needs of the specific worker.
