This system aims to improve the safety and health of coal mine workers by implementing a comprehensive interactive monitoring system. The main goal is to minimize job hazards and reduce risks associated with the coal mining industry. A variety of methods were used in the research, including technology development, data analysis and quality control methods. The project begins with the development and application of advanced technology to monitor critical environmental problems in coal mines. Sensors collect real-time data about air quality, temperature, humidity and gas concentration. Miners are also given wearable devices equipped with biometric sensors to monitor their physical parameters, including heart rate and breathing patterns. The collected data is then processed using analytical tools to identify patterns, trends and anomalies. Use machine learning algorithms to predict potential safety hazards and immediately alert staff and management. This predictive analysis helps detect adverse events early, allowing timely intervention and preventing accidents or health problems. We will be able to conduct regular safety training, using information from our monitoring process to tailor training content to address specific risks identified at the mine. The results of using this analysis will show the reduction in security incidents, conditions and functional diseases. A good approach to safety management improves the overall health of workers, thereby increasing mines' productivity and morale. Hence, this project demonstrates the effectiveness of comprehensive care in terms of worker health and safety. Thus, the system will help create a safe and healthy working environment, ultimately benefiting employment and overall productivity in the mining industry.
