Abstract: A wire bridge monitoring system includes a wire bridge (18) and a monitoring device (22, 24). The wire bridge (18) is used by a technician (20) during servicing an electrical or electro-mechanical installation (1) to bridge a component of the electrical or electro-mechanical installation (1). The wire bridge (18) has an electronic identification device (26) configured to transmit a radio signal (21) comprising an identification number of the wire bridge (18). The monitoring device (22, 24) has a transceiver (28, 37), a memory (23, 41) and a processor (31, 39). The transceiver (28, 37) receives the radio signal (21) transmitted by the electronic identification device (26) when within a predetermined radio range, and the memory (23, 41) records use of the wire bridge (18). The processor (31, 39) monitors if the wire bridge (18) is within the predetermined radio range, and generates an alarm if the wire bridge (18) is not within the predetermined radio range and the wire bridge (18) is recorded as being in use.
