Patent attributes
Systems and methods are provided herein describe a global safety system for workers in hazardous locations such as electrical Class 1/Division 1 locations. In at least one example, a user will carry a user device that is approved for the hazardous electrical locations. This device will monitor for safety-triggering events such as a lack of user movement, a press of an emergency button, or any other indication of an emergency. Once a safety-triggering event is detected, the user device will transmit an alert to a user station outside of the hazardous electrical location. In turn, the user station will transmit an alert to a remote station regarding the status of the user device.
