I believe those are called PASS devices-personal alert safety systems-commonly used by firefighters, among others. Available from any safety supply house, I would expect. Some have remote annunciation features that would be useful in the lab environment‰??e.g., notify security if one goes off.

That's an indication that someone is down. The user can also trigger them on their own, but someone overcome by high levels of CO or oxygen deficiency may not be able to do so before passing out. I don't know who makes them, but if you can't find them on the web, I can ask around.
