Abstract

A safety management system of the present invention includes: a user authentication section which authenticates a user of a particular facility and outputs an authentication result; a health status determination section which measures blood component data of a user authenticated by the user authentication section, determines a health status of the user from the blood component data, and outputs a determination result; and an entry regulating section which permits or prohibits entry by the user to the particular facility based on the authentication result and the determination result.

Claims

1. A safety management system comprising:

a user authentication section which authenticates a user of a particular facility and outputs an authentication result;

a health status determination section which measures blood component data of a user authenticated by said user authentication section, determines a health status of the user from the blood component data, and outputs a determination result; and

an entry regulating section which permits or prohibits entry by the user to the particular facility based on the authentication result and the determination result.

2. A safety management system according to claim 1, wherein said entry regulating section permits or prohibits entry to the particular facility according to whether values of each of items of the blood component data are within predetermined ranges.

3. A safety management system according to claim 2, wherein said entry regulating section permits or prohibits entry to the particular facility according to whether values of each of specific items of the items of the blood component data are within predetermined ranges.

4. A safety management system according to claim 2, wherein said entry regulating section permits or prohibits entry to the particular facility according to a number of items within the predetermined ranges of each of the items of the blood component data.

5. A safety management system according to claim 1, wherein said user authentication section authenticates the user based on a vein pattern obtained by irradiating infrared rays onto a body of the user.

6. A safety management system according to claim 1, wherein said health status determination section measures the blood component data based on an absorption spectrum obtained by irradiating infrared rays onto a body of the user.

7. A safety management system according to claim 1, wherein a vein pattern used by said user authentication section and an absorption spectrum used by said health status determination section are detected by the same sensor section.

8. A safety management system according to claim 1, further comprising, in addition to or instead of said entry regulating section, an operation regulating section which permits or prohibits operation of equipment inside the particular facility based on the authentication result and the determination result.
