Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) has become a buzz word in the society, as it is emerging in different sectors with broad applications such as smart cities, smart home, connected cars, industries and so on. Already many devices have merged into the market. The industries have turned into the fourth revolution, i.e. Industry 4.0, where the departments such as manufacturing, production, and deployment have already automated with the invention of IoT. Coming to the Industries, Safety is the main measure which should be considered by the industrialists. Presently followed prediction models depend on the previous data of the accidents and other health issues related to employee which are collected from the industries. From that, precautions are taken for reducing the death and injuries of employees in future. In this paper, a new approach has been proposed with the invention of IoT in Industrial Safety, where the live information is tracked and immediate measures are taken on demand so that the loss that occurs due to accidents or other health related issues can be reduced to the maximum extent. The implementation is shown in two models; Monitoring Employee Health (MEH), Safety Automation Model (SAM).

Keywords
