PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an abnormality detection system that uses a management device for managing a target person in a work area, reliably detects a physical abnormality of the target person such as heat stroke, and notifies the target person of the abnormality, thereby surely taking action for the physical abnormality of the target person.SOLUTION: An abnormality detection system is composed of an abnormality detector 2 and a management device 5. The abnormality detector 2 includes: a sensor for obtaining biological information of a target person storage means for storing a threshold, a transmission cycle and a determination cycle received from the management device abnormality notification means for notifying the target person of a physical abnormality and processing means for obtaining the biological information of the target person from the sensor at the determination cycle, transmitting the biological information obtained at the transmission cycle to the management device 5, determining whether or not the biological information exceeds the threshold when obtaining the biological information from the sensor, and transmitting the physical abnormality of the target person to the management device 5 and notifying the target person of the physical abnormality by the abnormality notification means when the biological information exceeds the threshold.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】作業エリア内における対象者を管理する管理装置を用いた異常検知システムにおいて、対象者の熱中症などの身体の異常を確実に検知し、その異常を対象者本人に通知することで、対象者の身体の異常に確実に対応することを課題とする。【解決手段】異常検知装置2と管理装置5で異常検知システムを構成し、異常検知装置2は、対象者の生体情報を取得するセンサと、管理装置から受信した閾値、送信周期および判定周期を記憶する記憶手段と、身体の異常を対象者に通知する異常通知手段と、判定周期でセンサから対象者の生体情報を取得し、送信周期で取得した生体情報を管理装置5に送信しながら、センサから生体情報を取得した際に、生体情報が閾値を超えているか否かを判定し、閾値を超えていた場合、管理装置5に対象者の身体の異常の旨を送信するとともに、異常通知手段によって対象者に身体の異常を通知する処理手段と、を備える。【選択図】図8
