Provided is self-identifying personal protective equipment and methods of monitoring the same. The personal protective equipment may include a wireless tag positioned on or incorporated into an individual's face piece and a wireless tag reader positioned on or incorporated into the breathing apparatus of the personal protective equipment. The wireless tag reader may transmit an interrogation signal to the wireless tag upon actuation of the breathing apparatus, such as actuation of the flow of air through the breathing apparatus to the face piece. The face piece may then be identified automatically with the use of the personal protective equipment.

Self-identifying personal protective device and methods of monitoring the same

Embodiments relate generally to personal alert safety systems (PASS) as well as motion detection systems and methods for motion detection. Some embodiments may comprise methods for determining the alarm status for a PASS, wherein a plurality of motion sensing elements may be utilized by a motion detection system, thereby reducing false alarms. A motion detection system may comprise two motion sensing elements, with one motion sensing element located near the chest and shoulders of a user, and one motion sensing element located near the hips and back of a user.
