1. A method for monitoring personnel safety comprising the steps of:
- a. placing at least one biometric sensor on a person;
b. measuring physiological data of said person using said at least one sensor;
c. transferring said measured physiological data to a first computer having software; and
d. generating a signal when said measured physiological data meets at least one predetermined value.

Abstract
Group (including, without limitation, occupational work forces) safety and wellness monitoring utilizes baseline physiology testing and vital sign monitoring and sampling technologies. Aerobic capacity of individual members of a group is determined through initial baseline testing which results in an individual health risk assessment. Thereafter non-invasively observed and monitored during incremental work and exercise is commenced. Subsequent data collected is used for advance identification of personnel at risk of injury, such as during unexpected vital sign elevations that can signal early onset of fatigue and heat stress/dehydration prior to injury.
