System for providing real time locating and gas exposure monitoring

A method for providing real time locating and gas exposure monitoring, the method comprising:

• receiving, by an interface, information identifying concentration levels of gases in a work area detected by multiple sensor devices in the work area;
• testing, by a processor, coverage of gas detection in the work area by the sensor devices;
• generating, by the processor, a report for the work area, the report comprising results of the coverage testing represented by a map of the work area;
• and
• transmitting, by the interface, the report for receipt by a computing device.

An apparatus comprising:

• a memory configured to store a map of a work area;
• a communication interface configured to communicate with sensor devices in the work area, the sensor devices detecting and transmitting information identifying a concentration of gas in the work area;
• a processor configured to determine coverage of gas detection in the work area by the sensor devices;
• the processor configured to determine accuracy of gas detection in the work area by the sensor devices;
• and
• the processor configured to generate a report comprising the coverage and accuracy of gas detection in the work area by the sensor devices.

A computer-implemented method for providing real-time locating and gas exposure monitoring, the method comprising:

• receiving, by an interface, information identifying concentrations of gas at one or more locations in a work area, the concentrations detected by multiple sensor devices at the respective one or more locations in the work area;
• periodically testing, by a processor, accuracies of gas detection at the one or more locations in the work area;
• displaying, by a display unit, a map of the work area representing the accuracies of the gas detection at the one or more locations in the work area;
• and
• alerting, by the processor, in response to the accuracies of the gas detection at the one or more locations being below a compliance value.
