Abstract: In the ever-evolving industrial landscape, worker safety remains a paramount Concern. With the advent of Industry 4.0 and the proliferation of connected devices, the Internet of Things (IoT) has emerged as a transformative force in enhancing workplace safety. IoT-based wearable systems offer a promising solution to realtime monitoring and Intervention, minimizing workplacehazards and fostering a culture of safety. Traditional safety Measures often rely on passive approaches, such as personal protective equipment (PPE) and Safety training. While essential, these methods may not always prevent accidents or provide Timely intervention in critical situations. IoT-based wearable systems address these limitations By transforming workers into active participants in their own safety. These systems compriseWearable devices equipped with a suite of sensors that collect real-time data on the worker’s Environment and physiological parameters. This data is then transmitted wirelessly to a Central hub foranalysis andvisualization. By continuously monitoring workers’ exposure to Hazards, such as toxic gases, excessive noise, or extreme temperatures, IoT-based wearable Systems can trigger immediate alerts and initiate preventive measures of fatigue, heat stress, or Potential health risks, enabling early intervention and preventing accidents.
