Mission In contemporary work environments, the safety and well-
being of workers remain a paramount concern, with the need
STATEMENT for advanced technologies to address emerging challenges.
Traditional safety gear often lacks the capability to provide
real-time health monitoring and timely intervention, leading
to increased risks of accidents, injuries, and long-term health
issues among worker.
INTRODUCTION
The theme of a smart health monitoring helmet for workers
revolves around enhancing occupational safety, health, and
overall well-being in various industries. The integration of
advanced technology into a helmet creates a comprehensive
system that goes beyond traditional safety gear.
Proposed Objective 1
OBJECTIVES Enhance Occupational Safety:
Detect and prevent potential hazards, accidents, and health risks in the
workplace through real-time monitoring.
Objective 2
Evaluate Environmental Conditions:
Assess and ensure the safety of the working environment by monitoring
factors like temperature, humidity, and air quality.
Objective 3
Enable Data-Driven Insights:
Collect and systematically analyze health data to identify trends, risks, and
areas for improvement in occupational health and safety
DESCRIPTION
Smart health monitoring helmet utilizes cutting-edge
technology to proactively prevent accidents,
continuously monitor health, and foster a safer work
environment. It signifies a transformative leap in
workplace safety, integrating innovation into
traditional safety gear. Through real-time hazard
detection and health monitoring, it ensures a
heightened level of safety, contributing to overall well-
being in the workplace.

WORKING
This section discusses the results of the proposed system. The sensors
sense the environmental conditions around the miner working in
underground mining. All the real time data is display on LED, and also
updated on the web by using IoT with the help of Thing speak. If any
of the environmental parameters exceeds its standard value the
miner,co-miners, supervisor and the control station get notify by
buzzer. If any
hazardous event occurred in the mine in such case the control
station will be able to provide the rescue team as early as
possible.This system connects the Arduino to the computer. To build
this system, open-source solutions were provided, and components
used in the proposed safety alert system, such as the MQ-2, Gas
Sensor, ESP32, DHT11and others, can be easily connected with the
Arduino platform.
CASE STUDY
CASE 1:
On November 12, 2023, a tunnel collapsed at the Barkot
tunnel in Uttarkashi, Uttarakhand, India. The collapse
trapped 41 construction workers for 17 days. The
workers were rescued by rat miners after machines
broke down.
CASE 2:
The Farmington Mine disaster occurred on November 20,
1968, in West Virginia, resulting in a large explosion felt
miles away. With 99 miners inside, 21 escaped, but 78 were
trapped and perished; 19 bodies were never recovered. The
cause of the explosion remains unknown, but the tragedy
prompted new laws for miner protection, shaping safety
regulations in the aftermath.
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, the implementation of smart helmets in the construction industry marks
a significant move towards a safer, more efficient, and technologically advanced work
environment for construction workers. These intelligent headgear devices have
demonstrated a range of benefits, from enhancing on-site safety through real-time data
monitoring to fostering improved communication and collaboration among workers.
