The main aim of the paper is to develop a smart helmet for mining industry workers. The problem addressed in this paper was the improvement of a mining helmet in order to ensure more safety awareness between miners. When working with noisy equipment, being aware of one’s surroundings can sometimes be challenging. In the mining trade miners tend to get rid of their safety gear because the gear is too significant, heat or uncomfortable to work with. So this system is developed to intimate the authorities in critical conditions. To overcome the above problem, we are developing a smart helmet for mining industry workers. Firstly to identify the worker, each worker will be having different tag. Once the tag is identified, person’s data will be sent to the PC through ZIGBEE. In order to check whether the worker has been using the helmet or not, IR sensors are used to check the helmet presence. The surrounding hazardous gases will be detected by the gas sensor present in the helmet. When gas is detected voice notification will be given through speaker. By the use of MEMS sensor, the head injuries occurrence will be identified. All the data related to sensors will be posted into the PC through ZIGBEE transceiver.
