Abstract
Workers who work in sewers are subjected to various threats due to working in confined spaces with exposure to hazardous environments with extreme conditions and poisonous gases. To support worker safety, existing methods of safety generally only use stand alone gas detection systems without real time monitoring or emergency response features. The purpose of the study presented in this paper is to develop an Internet of Things-based Smart HazardGuard system, which continuously monitors environmental conditions and automatically generates alerts, therefore increasing the safe working environment of sewer workers. The Smart HazardGuard system consists of MQ gas sensors, temperature sensor, Arduino Uno microcontroller, and ESP8266 communication module to provide real-time detection of dangerous situations, and transmits the data in real time to the worker. When a hazardous condition is detected, the alert systems (buzzer and LED indicator) are activated, and notifications are sent to remote monitoring locations. The proposed Smart HazardGuard system is an economical, reliable and scalable solution to increase the safety of sewer workers in hazardous environments.
