Safety headwear status detection system

1. A safety headwear monitoring system comprising:

a sensor configured to detect a status parameter, wherein the status parameter indicates whether a head of a person is located within a selected distance of the sensor;

a transmission device in electronic communication with the sensor and configured to receive the status parameter from the sensor; and

an application installed on a user device in wireless communication with the transmission device,

wherein the transmission device is configured to transmit the status parameter to the application,

wherein the application on the user device is configured to detect a location parameter of the user device, and

wherein the application on the user device is configured to detect a speed parameter of the user device when the location parameter indicates that the user device is en route to a selected location, and

wherein the application on the user device is configured to transmit the speed parameter to an application installed on a manager device when the speed parameter is above a selected speed and when the location parameter indicates that the user device is en route to the selected location.

2. The safety headwear monitoring system of claim 1 , further comprising:

a headwear body, wherein the sensor and the transmission device are operably attached to the headwear body.

3. The safety headwear monitoring system of claim 1 , further comprising:

a status indicator configured to activate when the status parameter indicates that an object is within a selected distance of the sensor.

4. The safety headwear monitoring system of claim 1 , wherein:

the wireless communication is Bluetooth.

5. The safety headwear monitoring system of claim 1 , wherein:

the sensor is a capacitance sensor.

6. The safety headwear monitoring system of claim 1 , wherein:

the application on the user device is configured to transmit the status parameter to an application on a manager device.

7. The safety headwear monitoring system of claim 1 , wherein:

the application on the user device is configured to transmit the status parameter to an application installed on a manager device when the location parameter is within a selected radius of a selected location.

8. The safety headwear monitoring system of claim 1 , wherein:

the application on the user device is configured to transmit the status parameter to an application installed on a manager device when the status parameter indicates that an object is not within a selected distance of the sensor and when the location parameter is within a selected radius of a selected location.

9. The safety headwear monitoring system of claim 1 , wherein:

the application on the user device is configured to transmit the speed parameter to an application installed on a manager device when the speed parameter is above a selected speed.

10. The safety headwear monitoring system of claim 9 , further comprising:

a warning light in electronic communication with the transmission device, the warning light being located within a line of sight of a wearer of the safety headwear, wherein the warning light is configured to activate when a message is received from the manager device.

11. The safety headwear monitoring system of claim 1 , wherein:

the application on the user device is configured to transmit the status parameter to an application installed on a manager device when the status parameter indicates that an object is not within a selected distance of the sensor and when the location parameter indicates that the user device is en route to a selected location.

12. The safety headwear monitoring system of claim 1 , further comprising:

a warning light in electronic communication with the transmission device, the warning light being located within a line of sight of a wearer of the safety headwear, wherein the warning light is configured to activate when the speed parameter is above a selected speed.

13. A method of monitoring safety headwear usage, the method comprising:

detecting, using a sensor, a status parameter, wherein the status parameter indicates whether a head of a person is located within a selected distance of the sensor;

receiving, using a transmission device, the status parameter from the sensor, the transmission device being in electronic communication with the sensor;

transmitting, using the transmission device, the status parameter to an application installed on a user device in wireless communication with the transmission device;

detecting, using the application installed on the user device, a location parameter of the user device;

detecting, using the application installed on the user device, a speed parameter of the user device when the location parameter indicates that the user device is en route to a selected location; and

transmitting, using the application installed on the user device, the speed parameter to an application installed on a manager device when the speed parameter is above a selected speed and when the location parameter indicates that the user device is en route to the selected location.

14. The method of claim 13 , further comprising:

transmitting, using the application installed on the user device, the status parameter to an application installed on a manager device.

15. The method of claim 13 , further comprising: transmitting, using the application installed on the user device, the location parameter of the user device to an application installed on a manager device.

16. The method of claim 13 , further comprising: transmitting, using the application installed on the user device, the speed parameter of the user device to an application installed on a manager device.
