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 with one or more of the first or second pluralities of articles of PPE; and
a computing device communicatively coupled to the scanner, wherein the computing device;
receives, from the scanner, a first plurality of identifiers that correspond to the one or more of the first or second pluralities of articles of PPE;
queries, based at least in part on an identifier from the first plurality of identifiers that correspond to the one or more of the first or second pluralities of articles of PPE, a database that includes a rule, regulation, or policy in association with the identifier from the first plurality of identifiers;
determines that the identifier from the first plurality of identifiers for the rule, regulation, or policy that was violated is further associated with an identifier of the first user; and
generates an output based on the violation of the rule, regulation, or policy has occurred by the first user.
