Real-Time Safety Assurance System for Industrial Applications Using IoT Technology

Abstract

Worker safety and health in industrial workplaces are critical for companies, not only due to the awareness of the hazards and risks employees face but also because of strict legislation and penalties related to occupational accidents. Technological advancements, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), can significantly improve working conditions by helping eliminate or reduce workplace risks. This document presents a framework that can be applied across various industries to assess occupational health needs and select technologies that enhance workplace safety. It begins by discussing the importance of industrial safety, focusing on hazard factors, risk assessments, and potential control measures. The concept of IoT and its components are then introduced, along with their relevance to industrial safety. The document continues with assumptions and a detailed explanation of each component and step of the framework. It concludes by referencing the evaluation of the framework conducted by experts and the results o

Specification

Description:The present invention relates to the Real-Time Safety Assurance System for Industrial Applications Using IoT Technology.
2. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Worker safety and health in industrial workplaces have long been a primary concern for organizations, given the inherent risks and hazards present in many industries. Ensuring the well-being of employees not only reflects a company's commitment to their workforce but is also driven by stringent laws and regulations that govern workplace safety standards. These regulations are put in place to mitigate the risks of workplace accidents, injuries, and illnesses, which can have severe consequences for both the workers and the organization itself. Occupational accidents often result in lost productivity, legal penalties, and even reputational damage, further emphasizing the importance of proactive safety measures.
In recent years, technological advancements have played a crucial role in transforming workplace safety. Among the most significant developments is the In , Claims:1. This work emphasizes the importance of prioritizing worker safety, not only due to the inherent risks in industrial environments but also because of the legal requirements and penalties related to occupational accidents..
2. The work highlights how emerging technologies like IoT can play a transformative role in enhancing workplace safety by enabling better risk management and hazard prevention.
3. This work refers to the core contribution of the document, which is the development of a practical framework for adopting IoT technologies that align with the specific needs and risks of different industrial sectors.
4. This work stresses the practical, user-friendly nature of the framework, emphasizing how the inclusion of visual aids (flowcharts) and real-life examples enhances understanding and implementation.
5. This work highlights the validation process of the framework through expert evaluation, which not only confirmed its usefulness but also led to recommendations for further refinement to optimize it
