Claim 2:
3. A system comprising:
one or more processors; and
one or more computer-readable storage media collectively storing program instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, are configured to cause the one or more processors to perform a method comprising:
receiving a set of personal protective equipment (PPE) data describing use time limits of respective PPE articles of a set of PPE articles;
monitoring use of a PPE article of the set of PPE articles wherein the monitoring comprises:
determining a use time of the PPE article;
monitoring the use of the PPE article via a chemical sensor; and
monitoring the use of the PPE article via a camera to recognize objects within an environment of the PPE article;

determining whether a PPE usage rule of the PPE article is satisfied based on the monitoring, wherein the PPE usage rule is based on at least the determined use time as compared to a use time limit of the PPE article, a chemical sensor value collected by the chemical sensor as compared to a chemical value threshold, and based on whether a first object is recognized via the camera using object recognition;
issuing, in response to determining that the PPE usage rule of the PPE article is satisfied, a PPE recommendation action;
receiving, from a user of the PPE article, feedback regarding the user's satisfaction with the issued PPE recommendation action;
adjusting, using a reinforcement learning algorithm, based on the received feedback, the PPE usage rule; and
determining whether the adjusted PPE usage rule of the PPE article is satisfied based on additional monitoring.
