Abstract: A method implemented with an equipment computing device associated with safety equipment. The step includes determining that the equipment computing device is in an environment that requires safety equipment to be worn. The method determines environmental data based on the determination that the equipment computing device is in the environment. The method then determines operation metrics of the environment based on the environmental data and then determines a list of predetermined safety gears along with safety-related data that are applicable for the operation metrics. A set of identification indicators including real-time operative information is acquired from each of one or more safety gears of the safety equipment. The method then detects and indicates that the one or more safety gears along with one or more operative measures are present in the safety equipment for operating according to the determined operation metrics of the environment by comparing the acquired set of identification indicators including the real-time operative information of each of the one or more safety gears with each of the predetermined safety gears and the safety-related data of each of the predetermined safety gears. The method assigns one of the one or more safety gears as a primary gear to verify each of the one or more safety gears, the primary gear is communicating with each of the one or more safety gears through any of Bluetooth, Bluetooth mesh, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), Zigbee, Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) and Near Field Technology (NFC) for acquiring the identification indicators including the real-time operative information from each of the one or more safety gears.
