    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses and methods of monitoring the utilization of protective equipment by individuals requesting access to a restricted area that requires the use of specific protective equipment, are provided. A protective equipment checker, which includes a proximity sensor, a three-dimensional (3D) camera, and a radio-frequency identification (RFID) reader, performs a full body scan on the individual to determine if the location-specific protective equipment is being worn, or is in the possession of the individual. If a determination is made that the proper protective equipment is being worn, the individual is granted access to the location. If, one the other hand, the required protective equipment is not being worn, entry to the location is denied.
