Claim 0:
1. A heavy equipment hazard warning system, the system comprising:
a programming interface being configured to communicate with a heavy equipment hazard warning apparatus located on a piece of heavy equipment at a site, the heavy equipment hazard warning apparatus having a processor, non-transitory memory, a global positioning system unit communicatively interconnected in a busing architecture; and
the non-transitory memory being accessible to the processor, the non-transitory memory including processor-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the system to:
receive a hazard safety site plan of the site, the hazard safety site plan being a site plan of the site augmented with locationing information for a hazard with a hazard geofence therearound, the hazard geofence being a virtual boundary around the hazard,
monitor, without data interaction with the hazard, a location of the heavy equipment with the global positioning system unit,
analyze, without data interaction with the hazard, the location of the heavy equipment with respect to the hazard safety site plan, and
initialize, without data interaction with the hazard, an alert notification at the heavy equipment in response to the heavy equipment encroaching on the hazard geofence.
