Said system comprises a set of first slave electronic modules, each of which is paired to a corresponding piece of personal protective equipment to be used in said workplace and is configured to store information that identifies said corresponding piece of personal protective equipment. In addition, said system further comprises a set of master electronic modules, each of which is paired to a corresponding worker working in said workplace and is configured to: store information that identifies said corresponding worker; form with corresponding first slave electronic modules that are paired to the personal protective equipment with which said corresponding worker is equipped a corresponding Body Area Network (BAN), through which said corresponding first slave electronic modules communicate exclusively with said master electronic module; acquire the information stored by the corresponding first slave electronic modules from said corresponding first slave electronic modules through the corresponding Body Area Network (BAN); and store the information acquired from said corresponding first slave electronic modules. In addition, said system further comprises a set of monitoring devices, each of which is arranged in a corresponding position in the workplace and is configured to acquire from the master electronic modules present in a corresponding acquisition area the information stored by said master electronic modules. Lastly, said system further comprises a central control and monitoring unit connected to the monitoring devices and configured to acquire from the monitoring devices the information that said monitoring devices acquire from the master electronic modules.</p> |
