Claim:
1. A computer-implemented method for verifying a set of safety equipment criteria comprising: receiving a first unit of data at a first mobile computing device, the first unit of data received via a wireless signal between the first mobile computing device and a set of sensing devices, the first unit of data identifying a set of safety equipment that includes the set of sensing devices, the set of sensing devices configured to transmit the first unit of data; receiving, over a network and from a remote server associated with a first set of location beacon transmitters, a second unit of data at the first mobile computing device, the second unit of data identifying a set of safety equipment criteria, the first set of location beacon transmitters being located within a first geographical perimeter, the first geographical perimeter including the set of safety equipment, wherein a second set of location beacon transmitters are located within a second geographical perimeter that includes another set of safety equipment, the first geographical perimeter and the second geographical perimeter being within a same building; determining at the first mobile computing device, by comparing the first unit of data with the second unit of data, whether the set of safety equipment satisfies the set of safety equipment criteria; monitoring the wireless signal between the first mobile computing device and the set of sensing devices and determining that a signal strength for the wireless signal is below a threshold value, the signal strength for the wireless signal being below the threshold value corresponding to a person removing one or more articles of the set of safety equipment; and notifying a second computing device, in response to the determining that the signal strength for the wireless signal is below the threshold value and based on whether the set of safety equipment satisfies the set of safety equipment criteria.
