Mining is a major economic activity involving many countries and many mining accidents take place all across the globe that no one pays attention to because miners are seen as mere laborers, and they get exploited in many ways, major exploitation being their loss of lives. Most mining accident take place that can be prevented but there are no mechanisms to rectify the problems, for example authorities can’t track the location of miners when they get trapped underground and die of suffocation. There are many long term issues that miners face and can’t be prevented like miners nystagmus, Pneumoconiosis, Black lung disease, etc, but the short term problems that can be prevented are also taken for granted like lack of oxygen, defective lights and unseen obstacles. Some medical emergencies and health related problems can also be prevented before hand. The existing mining systems also have a problem of high discharge rate. So we are designing a miners helmet with some advancements incorporating some ways to tackle the short term problems that can save precious lives. A high tech transmitter receiver system is designed to predict the location of miner. Along with automatic lighting, real time data transmission and reception, oxygen level check, features like color-coded LED based hazardous gas detection (CH4, CO) have also been incorporated. Secondly, both temperature and humidity detection sensors have been mounted. A panic button gives the user freedom to raise alarm for collective safety. An accelerometer has been used to detect the orientation of the user keeping in view encounters resulting in disabling or head injury. Accessories like sonar based removable ferrule is also included to measure distance of obstacle and underground water depth. High temperature inside the mine is used to charge the system battery, so as long as the miner is inside the mine, the system keeps working.
