Safety system and method

A safety system comprising:

• a plurality of alert devices, each alert device associated with a unique identifier and comprising:
• a user interface comprising a display;
• a wireless transceiver;
• and
• a processor communicably coupled to the wireless transceiver;
• wherein:
• the wireless transceivers of the plurality of alert devices are disposed in wireless communication with each other;
• the processor of at least one alert device is configured to:
• generate an alarm signal indicative of an alarm state of the at least one alert device;
• and
• transmit, via the corresponding wireless transceiver, the alarm signal to the wireless transceivers of other alert devices from the plurality of alert devices, the alarm signal comprising the unique identifier of the at least one alert device;
• and
• the processor of each of the other alert devices is configured to:
• receive, via the corresponding wireless transceiver, the alarm signal from the at least one alert device;
• determine a link quality indicative of at least a relative distance and a relative direction between the at least one alert device and the corresponding other alert device, wherein the link quality decreases with respect to an increase in the relative distance between the at least one alert device and the corresponding other alert device and varies with respect to the relative direction between at least one alert device and the corresponding other alert device;
• and
• display, via the display of the corresponding user interface, an alert message comprising the unique identifier of the at least one alert device and the corresponding link quality.
