1. An apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one non-transitory memory comprising program code, wherein the at least one non-transitory memory and the program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to at least:
receive, over a first time period, a plurality of biometric values from each of a plurality of biometric monitoring devices, each of the plurality of biometric monitoring devices being worn by a different one of a plurality of users in a workplace, each of the plurality of biometric values being detected from one of the plurality of users and having an associated time of capture and an associated user location at time of capture;
detect an environmental condition in at least a predefined area of the workplace based on the received biometric values corresponding to a plurality of users at a same user location in the predefined area;
determine the environmental condition as a hazardous condition upon determining that a predetermined percentage of users of the plurality of users at the user location have at least one biometric value deviating from corresponding baseline biometric values; and
in response to detecting the hazardous condition, generate an alert based on the detected environmental condition for one or more users associated with the user location.
