Mining is indispensable to the creation of goods, infrastructure and services which enhance the quality oftheir lives. Demand of coal as energy resources is always important and significant. But thousands of peoplehave lost their lives in mining accidents, all over the world working in the earth presents many differentsecurity and health dangers. So here we propose a mining tracking as well as safety system for the miningindustry using microcontroller based circuit on the worker safety. We use RF based circuitry to detectworkers moving through the entire mining site. We used ARDUINO UNO as main micro controller. The systemmakes use of ATMEGA Microcontroller based RF tracker circuitry used to transmit and receive data by usingEM-18 RFID reader module with RFID cards. This helps to track the current location of workers through theentire mining site. Moreover each RFID card circuit is integrated with a panic/emergency button. When thisbutton is pressed it shows an emergency alert over the IOT webpage. This can be used for any emergencieslike – toxic gas inhalation, physical injury etc. Thus the system ensures mining worker Safety using IOT.
