5. A method for controlling safety and preventing accidents at the workplaces comprising the following steps:
-
a) associating a plurality of RF transceivers adapted to form a PAN or BAN network with the accessories and garments to be worn by the operator when said operator is in the area of concern, said plurality of RF transceivers comprising at least one dual-frequency TAG device configured as a Master of said PAN or BAN network; b) associating at least one illuminating actuator and at least one receiver with each critical apparatus or structure or parts thereof of the area of concern; c) said dual-frequency RFID TAG with Master functions recognizes the presence of all RF transceiver devices of said PAN or BAN network, and either sends or stores an alarm if the absence of at least one of them is detected; d) said dual-frequency RFID TAG with Master functions interacts with said at least one illuminating actuator and at least one receiver so as to regulate the operation of said critical apparatuses or structures in the area of concern in order to protect the safety of said operator. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9)
