Abstract

Industrial safety is relevant for companies due to the constant use of tools, machinery and equipment, creating a work environment full of risks and dangers for workers. For this reason, there are regulations that require the utilization of PPE such as the helmet that you use to accidents and occupational diseases. However, at present there is no technological solution in this area that provides information in real time to both the worker and the medical staff and the industrial safety department, and that alerts the worker without additional equipment or the need for specialized personnel in measurements environmental such as tunnels or mines. For this reason, this work proposes an intelligent safety helmet that could help reduce the accident rate of workers. The helmet uses electronic components as warning devices and analyzes harmful levels of gases, in order to prevent occupational diseases in the short and long term as a result of the activity carried out by workers.
