1. A tangible, non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising computer instructions configured to:
- receive image data from an apparatus, wherein the image data comprises a person within a proximity to an industrial automation device;
determine whether the person is wearing a set of personal protection equipment (PPE) based on the image data;
disable one or more operations of the industrial automation device in response to determining that the person is not wearing the set of PPE by ignoring inputs received from the person, wherein the inputs are configured to control the industrial automation device; and
track a usage of the set of PPE.
