1. A system comprising:
- a first plurality of articles of personal protective equipment (PPE) associated with a first user, wherein each article of the first plurality of articles of PPE has a respective smart tag that includes an identifier of the respective article;
a second plurality of articles of PPE associated with a second user, wherein each article of the second plurality of articles of PPE has a respective smart tag that includes an identifier of the respective article;
a scanner configured to read each respective smart tag associated one or more of the first and second pluralities of articles of PPE; and
a computing device communicatively coupled to the scanner, wherein the computing device;
accesses a set of worker profiles, wherein each of the worker profiles corresponds to at least one of a common task set or a common job function, and wherein each worker profile corresponds to a different set of articles of PPE;
receives, from the scanner, a first plurality of identifiers that correspond to the first plurality of articles of PPE associated with the first user;
receives, from the scanner, a second plurality of identifiers that correspond to the second plurality of articles of PPE associated with the second user;
compare the first and second pluralities of identifiers to the worker profile that is associated with both of the first and second users; and
generates a notification based at least in part on whether at least one of the first and second pluralities of identifiers satisfies the worker profile.

13. A computing device comprising:
-
one or more computer processors; and a memory comprising instructions that when executed by the one or more computer processors cause the one or more computer processors to; accessing a set of worker profiles, wherein each of the worker profiles corresponds to at least one of a common task set or a common job function, and wherein each worker profile corresponds to a different set of articles of PPE, wherein a first plurality of articles of PPE is associated with a first user, wherein each article of the first plurality of articles of PPE has a respective smart tag that includes an identifier of the respective article, wherein a second plurality of articles of PPE is associated with a second user, wherein each article of the second plurality of articles of PPE has a respective smart tag that includes an identifier of the respective article; receive, from a scanner configured to read each respective smart tag associated one or more of the first and second pluralities of articles of PPE, a first plurality of identifiers that correspond to the first plurality of articles of PPE associated with the first user; receive, from the scanner, a second plurality of identifiers that correspond to the second plurality of articles of PPE associated with the second user; compare the first and second pluralities of identifiers to the worker profile that is associated with both of the first and second users; and generate a notification based at least in part on whether at least one of the first and second pluralities of identifiers satisfies the worker profile. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
