The MSA - ALTAIR 5X gas meter has a motion alert activation detector. The device enters pre-alarm when no
motion is detected for 20 seconds. This device communicates with Android phones via ALTAIR CONNECT app as well. The gas meter is used when responding to an emergency event such as a chemical spill by the emergency response team.

Subject: Re: [DCHAS-L] Wearable Alert Devices

Our alarm systems include panic alarms, which can be in the form of a button attached to a wall, under a desk, etc. or a wearable device. We used the wearable device when our glassblower was the only occupant of a building, awaiting his new space to be completed. Otherwise, they are used for security risks.

We also have an app for safety, security, and emergency preparedness, powered by AppArmor. We are about to launch the work alone feature. It already has a mechanism for quickly calling for help, but it is an app on a phone, not a wearable device.

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.
