Abstract

Claims (18)

1 . A safety system comprising:

a first device comprising:

a first housing comprising an opposing pair of protrusions extending towards each other, the protrusions configured to couple the first housing to a body of a safety headwear;

a first detector coupled to the first housing, the first detector configured to generate a first signal in response to detecting nearby objects having currents with a high voltage; and

a first controller coupled to the first housing and in electrical communications with the first detector, the first controller configured to emit a second signal in response to receiving the first signal from the first detector; and

a second device comprising:

a second housing configured to couple to a brim of the safety headwear;

a second controller coupled to the second housing and in electrical communications with the first controller, the second controller configured to generate a third signal in response to receiving the second signal from the first controller;

a notification device physically coupled to the second housing and in electrical communications with the second controller, the notification device configured to generate an alarm in response to the notification device receiving the third signal from the second controller; and

an aperture and a protrusion extending into the aperture, the aperture and protrusion configured to collectively couple the second device to the brim of the safety headwear.

2 . The safety system of claim 1 , wherein the first controller and second controller wirelessly communicate with each other.

3 . The safety system of claim 1 , the first device comprising a plurality of interface buttons electrically coupled to the first controller and configured to control the first controller and the first detector.

4 . The safety system of claim 1 , wherein the alarm comprises a first alarm selected from the group consisting of a visual alarm and an audio alarm.

5 . The safety system of claim 1 , wherein the alarm comprises a haptic alarm.

6 . The safety system of claim 1 , the first housing defining a back surface facing away from the second device, the protrusions extending over the back surface.

7 . The safety system of claim 1 , the second housing defining a lower surface, wherein the notification device is coupled to the lower surface.

8 . The safety system of claim 7 , wherein the notification device generates a visual alarm in response to the notification device receiving the third signal from the second controller.

9 . The safety system of claim 1 , the aperture extending through the second housing.
