Abstract

Safety is the most important component of any form of industry. The only factor in the mining business is safety. The mining industry takes many precautions to prevent accidents of any kind, including steel accidents. Rising temperatures are causing methane gas leaks and rising water levels in underground mines. The safety alert switch for protection will be enabled when worker is in danger. A reliable communication system should be implemented to improve safety between workers in underground mines and between fixed anti-personnel mines. There should never be gaps in the communication network. This paper offers the best wireless Early Warning System (EWS). Internet of Things (IoT) can track the working status. Every parameter, including methane gas, high temperatures, fire risk, etc., must always be controlled in underground mining. The safe level of coal mine production is still low. Accidents in coal mines occur regularly, which leads to heavy material losses and human casualties.

Keywords
