Abstract: A zone supervision system having supervisory override is disclosed. The zone supervision system includes a first tag worn by an individual to be supervised, a second tag worn by a supervisor, one or more monitoring units capable of detecting the first and second tags, and an alarm mechanism operably connected to the monitoring units for alerting supervision when the presence of the first tag and the absences of the second tag is detected in the restricted zone. The monitoring units operate to form a supervisory zone which includes a safe zone and a restricted zone. The system may further include a central monitoring station operably connected to the monitoring units. The central monitoring station may be connected to the monitoring units via cable, WIFI, LAN, WAN, RF or microwave. The central monitoring station may further be connected to a remote monitoring station. The alarm mechanism of the zone supervision system may include a siren.
