A system for improving process awareness, safety, security, efficiency, and other aspects of industrial and non-industrial processes for participants associated with the processes. The system includes a control device associated with the process, and for each participant, a mobile client device and participant profile. The system improves safety, security, and efficiency by the control device enabling remote monitoring of participants and the process, implementing participant profile limitations, and authorizing participants to remotely monitor and control aspects of the process. The control device incorporates social network features to validate compliance and/or consent of all designated participants in order for control aspects of the process to be enabled. A participant's use of the mobile client device to collect, distribute, view, and interact with data and the process, including visual/video feeds of the process and/or participants, enables real-time interaction with the process and participants regardless of physical proximity of the participant to the process or other participants. The mobile client devices include a GUI for displaying visual feeds and participant interacting with the control device, process, participant profile, and other participants.
