IOT-BASED REAL-TIME MONITORING AND SAFETY SYSTEM FOR UNDERGROUND MINING WORKERS

Abstract

The mining industry is one of the most dangerous in the world. It could be hard for underground miners to get social support and assurances of safety in some countries. They may have to deal with the matter on their own, without help, if they become hurt. Furthermore, there are negative social effects, like the need to relocate and the loss of jobs.  When compared to other industries, the mining industry has the highest rate of safety-related fatalities. Falls, explosions, electrocution, methane poisoning, and fires are among the leading causes of death in the workplace. Underground mining has been the subject of a great deal of research. The underground mining industry has the greatest death rate in the world, according to recent studies done in China. An intelligent monitoring and alert system is essential, and these calamities necessitated the development of a more effective communication strategy. To facilitate communication amongst subterranean dwellers, RF technology was selected. The utmost importance must always be placed on safety. Prioritizing safety and security is crucial in the mining business.  In order to decrease the occurrence of accidents, the mining sector strictly adheres to all necessary safety regulations.
