Abstract

A safety helmet, often referred to as a hard hat, is a protective headgear designed to safeguard the wearer's head against potential hazards in various work environments and recreational activities. It is typically made of a hard, durable material, such as high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or polycarbonate, to provide impact resistance and protect the head from falling objects, debris, electrical shocks, and other potential dangers. The integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technology into safety helmets has introduced significant advancements in workplace safety and overall user experience. IoT-enabled safety helmets leverage sensors, connectivity, and data processing capabilities to enhance the functionality and effectiveness of traditional safety helmets. This project describes on the design and implementation of smart safety helmet system which can helps to alert the workers to reduce sunburn and heat-related illness at the construction site. This control system is based on three different sensors which include the UV sensor, temperature-humidity sensor, and body temperature sensor. Arduino Uno board acts as the main control unit and ESP8266 Wi-Fi module as a communication protocol. The workers can monitor the health and surrounding condition through the smart safety helmet systems easily. The system is easily controlled and can be monitored via user-friendly interface for smartphones. IoT based safety helmet system is applicable in this project, whereby the system can be monitored through mobile phones with Internet connections. Besides, an addition feature that alarm and alert the workers on the dangerous health and surrounding conditions enhance the protection to the workers is added to the system. Mobile applications such as ThingView are installed in the mobile phones to allow the workers to monitor the parameters from time to time. The main advantage of this smart safety helmet system is that it is a sensible, secure and easily configurable system that provides the workers a safer working environment at the construction area. Thus, all the objectives are achieved.
