bSafe: A Framework for Hazardous Situation Monitoring in Industries

Abstract

Industrial accidents such as chemical spills, fires, and explosions. Can have serious consequences, including injuries and fatalities, environmental damage, and economic losses. To prevent industrial accidents, it is important for industries to implement safety measures such as proper training for employees, regular maintenance of equipment, etc. Furthermore, the installation of emergency response systems is the need of the era to minimize the impact of any accidents that do occur. In this paper, an IoT-based hazardous situation monitoring framework is presented to monitor and detect toxic releases from chemical companies. The proposed system actively records, processes, and analyses the ambient temperature in areas where molten metal is handled and manufacturing is done. Additionally, it keeps an eye out for two dangerous gases i.e., LPG and natural gas. Every time a parameter is breached, a set of predetermined lists of users are immediately alerted, and the system continuously collects the data for further suggestions to modify the industry’s safety rules. The sensors used in this prototype model can be altered as needed to accommodate industrial requirements.
