1. A method of optimizing real-time workplace safety monitoring within at least one industrial environment, the method comprising:
marking, via the at least one processor of a computing device, at least one of a plurality of geofences of at least one hazard within the at least one industrial environment;
determining, via a GPS communication system communicatively coupled to the at least one processor of the computing device, a location of the computing device;
comparing, via the GPS communication system communicatively coupled to the at least one processor of the computing device, the location of the at least one boundary of the at least one hazard and the at least one computing device;
automatically facilitating, via the at least one processor of the computing device, hazard avoidance by:
based on a determination that at least one portion of the at least one boundary of the at least one hazard and at least one portion of the computing device intersect, transmitting a notification indicative of the intersection, inhibiting access to at least one of a plurality of applications of the computing device until the location of the computing device does not intersect with any portion of the at least one geofence of the hazard, or both; and
based on a determination that at least one portion of the at least one boundary of the at least one hazard and at least one portion of the computing device do not intersect, maintaining standard operation of the computing device;
generating, via the at least one processor of the computing device, a danger zone profile, wherein the danger zone profile comprises a plurality of details associated with the at least one marked hazard within the at least one industrial environment; and
wherein the plurality of details associated with the at least one marked hazard is selected from a group consisting of, an address, location, or both of the at least one marked hazard, industrial environment, or both, an asset type, the at least one geofence associated with the at least one marked hazard, a corporate department associated with the at least one industrial environment, a date of the marked hazard, a model of the asset type, an elevation of the at least one industrial environment, a level of risk associated with the at least one marked hazard, a weather condition, a plurality of photos, any required documentation associated with the at least one marked hazard, industrial environment, or both, and a combination of thereof.
