ABSTRACT

The adoption of Internet ofThings (IoT) technology within the oil and gas sector has markedly improved workplace safety through the provision of real-time monitoring and predictive analytics. This study examines the use of IoT devices to enhance safety protocols and reduce risks at the oil and gas field in general, concentrating on the detection of hazardous gases, monitoring equipment conditions, and ensuring worker safety. The integration of IoT sensors, including gas detectors, vibration sensors, and environmental monitoring systems, has enabled the oil and gas industry to improve emergency response times, minimize human error, and avert equipment failures. This study examines how these IoT applications contribute to accident prevention and the enhancement of workplace safety. This also underscores the difficulties encountered in the deployment of IoT technology and provides suggestions for maximizing its effectiveness in the oil and gas sector. Although no field implementation has yet been conducted, this conceptual framework demonstrates strong potential to enhance safety outcomes and operational efficiency. Challenges related to infrastructure, costs, and workforce readiness are also addressed, along with recommendations to optimize the future application of IoT-based safety systems in the oil and gas industry.
