Abstract—This paper describes the development of innovative wireless safety device for workers working beneath the ground using ZigBee wireless network. Our safety device system incorporates of an Arduino Uno Microcontroller, Zigbee wireless module, Methane sensor, buzzer alarm and X-CTU software. Arduino and wireless ZigBee has advantages in terms of its long battery life and much cheaper compared to the others wireless sensor network. There are several objectives that need to be accomplished in developing this project which are to develop wireless safety device for workers working below the ground using ZigBee wireless network and to evaluate the effectiveness of the safety device by testing it in different spots beneath the ground and the functionality of methane sensor. It can also detect methane when goes in prodigious amount and alarm triggered when methane compostion in the local atmosphere is beyond a specified level. Furthermore, this review paper provides a guideline where all this safety device can be implemented and recommendation on future studies for wireless safety device for workers working beneath the surface of earth.
