Abstract: Apparatus (2) for tracking the position of at least one person (4) walking about a structure (6), which apparatus (2) comprises: (i) position-identifying means (8) for being worn by the person (4); (ii) a plurality of position-determining devices (10) for being positioned at known fixed positions throughout the structure (6) at which the person (4) must pass in order to move about the structure (6); and (iii) monitor means (12) for monitoring the position of a person (4) in a structure (6); and the apparatus (2) being such that: (iv) the position-determining devices (10) emit signals which are able to be received by the position-identifying means (8); (v) each position-determining device (10) emits signals which only travel a distance which is in the vicinity of the position-determining device (10), whereby as the person (4) walks about the structure (6), the position-determining devices (10) are in radio communication one at a time with the position-identifying means (8); (vi) the position-identifying means
