Project Idea
Design a smart safety helmet equipped with IoT features to monitor worker safety in real time. It can detect hazardous events such as gas leaks, helmet removal, or impacts and instantly send alerts to supervisors. Ideal for industries like mining, construction, and manufacturing, this project combines safety, real-time monitoring, and IoT technology for enhanced workplace protection.
Project Description
The IoT-Based Safety Helmet is an advanced protective gear system that integrates sensors and wireless communication for industrial safety. Built around an Arduino uno the helmet includes a gas sensor (MQ-2) to detect harmful gases, a tilt or impact sensor to monitor falls or accidents, and an IR sensor to check whether the helmet is worn. If unsafe conditions are detected, the system sends real-time data and alerts via Wi-Fi to a remote dashboard or mobile app using IoT platforms like Blynk. The setup is lightweight, battery-powered, and designed for continuous operation in hazardous environments.
