A method of evaluating work site safety performance. The method includes the step of receiving, by at least one computer system comprising a processor and a memory, from a management portal application, data including checklist definitions defining safety analysis tasks to be performed at the work site. The method includes generating, by the at least one computer system, a checklist for the work site based at least in part on the checklist definitions, the checklist including a plurality of safety analysis tasks to be performed at the work site. The method includes obtaining, by the at least one computer system, a plurality of responses to the checklist entered thereon. The method includes generating, by the at least one computer system, a safety report for the work site.

A method for cleaning a breathing apparatus comprising a respiratory mask, by such precleaning activity as: providing the breathing apparatus in an externally contaminated state, providing a holder for the respiratory mask having at least one curved sealing face and stretching the respiratory mask onto the holder such that a sealing lip of the respiratory mask lies on the curved sealing face and closes off an interior of the respiratory mask, and the holder with the respiratory mask may be introduced into a precleaning chamber, exposing an outer side of the respiratory mask in the precleaning chamber to at least one precleaning fluid. And, after the precleaning, the respiratory mask may be released from the holder, introducing the respiratory mask into a primary cleaning chamber and exposing the respiratory mask, including an inner side of the respiratory mask that faces the interior, to a primary cleaning fluid.

A system includes an article of personal protective equipment (PPE) and an industrial controller device configured to control an industrial device. The system includes a first computing device and a second computing device. The first computing device, in response to detecting an industrial controller event, wirelessly broadcasts an event message that solicits an action from a worker. The second computing device, in response to receiving the event message, generates an output that solicits the action from the worker, and in response to detecting a user input associated with the article of PPE, send, a response from the second computing device to the first computing device. The first computing device, in response to receiving the response from the second computing device, performs at least one operation associated with the industrial controller device.

In some examples, a system includes an article of personal protective equipment (PPE) having at least one sensor configured to generate a stream of usage data; and an analytical stream processing component comprising: a communication component that receives the stream of usage data; a memory configured to store at least a portion of the stream of usage data and at least one model for detecting a safety event signature, wherein the at least one model is trained based as least in part on a set of usage data generated by one or more other articles of PPE of a same type as the article of PPE; and one or more computer processors configured to: detect the safety event signature in the stream of usage data based on processing the stream of usage data with the model, and generate an output in response to detecting the safety event signature.
