1. A method comprising:
retrieving, by a computer processor of an intelligent switching device from a detection device comprising a video retrieval device, first detection data indicating that a first individual is located within a specified proximity of an apparatus, wherein said intelligent switching device comprises a mechanical locking device or an electromechanical locking device lockably attaching an end to end plug of said apparatus to said intelligent switching device; determining, by said computer processor, that said first individual is in compliance with safety procedures associated with operating said apparatus; retrieving, by said computer processor from said detection device, first safety gear detection data indicating that said first individual is correctly wearing first specified protective gear; retrieving, by said computer processor from said detection device, first safety gear indication data indicating that said first specified protective gear comprises a first unique marking indicating a correct type of protective gear associated with said first specified protective gear and using said apparatus, wherein said first unique marking further indicates a specified class of said first specified protective gear and a specified protection level within said specified class; performing, by said computer processor, an optical character recognition process associated with said first unique marking, wherein results of said optical character recognition process results in decoding said first unique marking; analyzing, by said computer processor, said first detection data, said first safety gear detection data, said first safety gear indication data, and said results of said optical character recognition process; first determining, by said computer processor in response to results generated during a facial recognition process of said first individual, that said first specified protective gear is located within a specified unique zone on said first individual; and enabling, by an enable signal generated by said computer processor in response to said analyzing and said first determining, a power signal for said apparatus. |
