Abstract: —Occupational safety and health conditions are traditionally challenging in the construction and industrial sectors, where workplace accidents and poor ergonomic conditions often lead to worker absences and premature retirements. Safety is a significant concern for construction workers and those in other industrial roles. The primary objective of this proposed system is to develop smart wearable devices, such as bands and helmets, equipped with various sensors to monitor the health and safety of workers. These devices will utilize IoT technology to send SMS alerts regarding workers' conditions. The system will monitor blood pressure, SpO2 levels, heart rate, and temperature, and will alert higher officials to any abnormal health conditions. Wearable sensors will track workers' heart rates, SpO2 sensors will measure oxygen levels, and thermistors will monitor body temperature. All data will be collected by an Arduino and then uploaded to the IoT system. Once received by the gateway from the wearable sensors, the data will be forwarded to an IoT cloud for storage and accessed via an Android application. The main goal of this proposed study is to enhance the understanding of safety for industry employees
