8. A machine-readable non-transitory medium storing instructions for detecting use of personal protective equipment (PPE), executable by a machine to cause the machine to:
-
receive touch sensitive sensor data from a number of touch sensitive sensors attached to the PPE; determine a number of touch sensitive sensors in contact with a user; receive data for a restricted area and specifications for the PPE; determine a safety status based on the locations of the number of touch sensitive sensors and the number of touch sensitive sensors in contact with the user, the specifications for the PPE, and the data for the restricted area the user intends to access; and notify the user of a safety status. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A system for detecting use of personal protective equipment (PPE) prior to entering a restricted area, comprising:
-
a pair of PPE goggles; a number of touch sensitive sensors attached to the PPE goggles; a computing device communicatively coupled to a locking mechanism restricting access to the restricted area, wherein the computing device comprises a memory and a processor resource coupled to the memory to; receive data collected by the number of touch sensitive sensors; determine the locations of a number of sensors and the number of sensors that are in contact with a user from the data; allow access to the restricted area if the number of sensors in contact with the user is above a predetermined threshold and the locations of the sensors in contact with the user meet a specification, wherein to allow access includes a release of the locking mechanism. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
