Modular safety monitoring and warning system and methods for use thereof

A situational-awareness controller, comprising:

• a processor in communication with a controllable device, the processor configured to receive a notification of a triggering event generated by at least one sensor;
• and
• data storage, storing instructions that, upon execution by the processor, cause the processor to perform situational-awareness functions comprising:
• accessing information comprising an identification of an actor associated with the triggering event, a location of the actor, and an associated date and a time of the triggering event;
• correlating the information to a compilation of historical information from a plurality of actors by (i) determining whether the location of the actor is associated with one or more safety events stored as part of the compilation of historical information and (ii) in response to determining that the location of the actor is associated with one or more safety events, determining a risk level of the actor based on whether the one or more associated safety events occurred within a predetermined range of time from the time associated with the triggering event, wherein correlating the information to the compilation of historical information from the plurality of actors further comprises:
• in response to receiving, by the processor, the notification of the triggering event generated by the at least one sensor, accessing information comprising an identification of the at least one sensor and a location of the at least one sensor;
• determining, via the processor, whether a distance between the location of the at least one sensor and the location of the actor is less than a high-risk threshold distance;
• and
• in response to determining the distance between the location of the at least one sensor and the location of the actor is less than the high-risk threshold distance, assigning the information associated with the triggering event as a safety event in the compilation of historical information;
• and
• generating a command, based on a result of the correlating, and sending the command to at least one controllable device.

An article of manufacture, comprising a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, upon execution by a processor of the article of manufacture, cause the article of manufacture to perform functions comprising:

• in response to receiving, by the article of manufacture, a notification of a triggering event generated by at least one sensor, accessing, via the article of manufacture, information comprising an identification of an actor associated with the triggering event, a location of the actor, and an associated date and a time of the triggering event;
• correlating, via the article of manufacture, the information to a compilation of historical information from a plurality of actors by (i) determining whether the location of the actor is associated with one or more safety events stored as part of the compilation of historical information and (ii) in response to determining that the location of the actor is associated with one or more safety events, determining a risk level of the actor based on whether the one or more associated safety events occurred within a predetermined range of time from the time associated with the triggering event, wherein correlating the information to the compilation of historical information from the plurality of actors further comprises:
• in response to receiving, by the processor, the notification of the triggering event generated by the at least one sensor, accessing information comprising an identification of the at least one sensor and a location of the at least one sensor;
• determining, via the processor, whether a distance between the location of the at least one sensor and the location of the actor is less than a high-risk threshold distance;
• and
• in response to determining the distance between the location of the at least one sensor and the location of the actor is less than the high-risk threshold distance, assigning the information associated with the triggering event as a safety event in the compilation of historical information;
• and
• generating, via the article of manufacture, a command, based on a result of the correlating, and sending the command to at least one controllable device.
