Implementation of smart safety helmet for coal mine workers
This paper presents implementation of safety helmet for coal mine workers. This helmet is equipped with methane and carbon monoxide gas sensor. This sensor sense the gas and the data is transmitted to the control room wirelessly, through a wireless module called X Bee connected with the helmet. When the methane or carbon monoxide gas concentration is beyond the critical level, controller in the control room triggers an alarm and keeps the plant and the workers safe by preventing an upcoming accident.
