Abstract

Toxic gas leaking can happen in industrial and commercial settings. Such situations put human life at immense risk and jeopardizes the safety of the environment. We are also likely to lose the business operations completely due to unnecessary halts in processes. The goal of this dissertation is to explain the steps taken towards developing HazardTrack which is a monitoring system designed to avoid untoward incidents through real-time detection of toxic gas leakage. HazardTrack utilizes an extensive network of highly sensitive gas sensors placed at critical points to evaluate the air quality on a constant basis. It has been built in a manner that abnormal release of gases will trigger immediate alerts that will enable aversion and containment actions to be undertaken. Elimination of manual surveillance makes it possible to monitor the area without supervision, thus enhancing reliability in leakage detection. The system’s built-in automated features designed to contain the exposure risks ensures that the potential damage caused by occurrence of such gases is minimized. Through various scenarios of practical execution, this research aims to showcase the capabilities of the system along with demonstrating improved safety standards and compliance with the regulations set forth. It has been showcased that proper configuration of the system with real-time tracking and efficient rapid notification allows for optimized protection of the environment and safety of the workplace.
