The study focuses on developing a Smart Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) system for tracking and emergency monitoring in hazardous environments. The system integrates RFID technology with a server-based system to provide monitoring, tracking, and emergency response capabilities. RFID tags embedded in PPE communicate with strategically placed readers to monitor worker location, health status, and environmental conditions. Data collected from RFID tags is transmitted to a central server for processing and analysis. In restricted floors, the system triggers alerts to designated personnel, minimizing accident risk. An accident monitoring solution uses an accelerometer to detect changes in speed in fall accidents. Foreman and administrator receive direct communication to identify accidents on site. The project was assessed by 50 respondents, including 44 laborers and 6 technical experts, with a grand mean score of 3.61. The researchers used the CIT evaluation approach and concluded that Vercel Web was a great choice for tracking and monitoring smart PPE, local materials and technical expert advice were helpful, and the project is useful and safe due to its features.
