Abstract: Massive coal deposits, mostly in Sindh, amounting to 184.623 billion tonnes, are present in Pakistan. The market in our nation has been growing quickly. As we all know, accidents are occurring increasingly frequently in mines as a result of a lack of qualified workers, the safety of miners cannot be ensured, and coal manipulation is not possible. Men who work in coal mining today must deal with environmental restrictions. They are endangered by temperature, carbon dioxide, and methane. We must thus guarantee the security of the men and women who are now working in coal mining. This study's objective is to offer a communication- and security-based mining solution. In the current world, coal mining plays a special role since it has the ability to save the lives of coal miners by inventing specific tools that will be very useful to the workforce. People who operate in underground coal mines are required to wear a variety of equipment, including smart helmets that have sensors for gas detectors, collision detectors and removers. Here, we must set up our Smart Helmet's circuit to ensure the security of the man who is currently working as a coal miner. The release of harmful gases during mining operations is only one example of how coal mining can have a number of detrimental environmental effects. A Wi-Fi-based monitoring system is built inside the helmet, and it exchanges data with all of the trackers via Wi-Fi networks. In order to avoid any potentially hazardous situations, the Smart Helmet Indicator takes the necessary safeguards and gives out an alarm through a buzzer and Cloud Based Monitoring. ESP32 tracker circuitry made by Arduino is used to collect the data. It helps with worker location mapping.
