A unique identifier is provided (by way of RFID device or a transducer device 105) for each of a number of items of safety equipment (eg safety helmets 101-104 as worn by construction workers). The unique identifiers are also stored in a database. The items are inspected and unique identifiers are read from each of the inspected items using e.g. RFID reader 108. For each inspected item, the date of inspection is stored in the database. A period from the date of the inspection to the present time is monitored. Items for which the period exceeds a predetermined period are subsequently identified and an output may be provided indicating that further inspection is required. The database may also include "end of life", and manufacturing date information which it may obtain via the internet. The system may include a computer 109, which is attached to loudspeaker 122 and LED array 123, which can be used to provide audio and visual alarm signals. The system may also be used to perform on the spot checks of workers to see that they are using monitored safety equipment.
