A badge wearer who is not authorized to perform a task will not be given the associated proscriptions and processes, and instead, the badge would convey that personalization data to a central system that would discontinue further action and issue an alert to supervisory personnel. Where a user is authorized to perform a task, the user can review related proscriptions and processes and affirm readiness to perform the task. All confirmations are date and time stamped for any later review in the case of any mishaps.
