Abstract - Industrial environments are inherently hazardous, with a high risk of accidents that can cause injuries, equipment damage, and operational downtime. Traditional accident reporting and monitoring methods are often manual, limited in coverage, and prone to delays, highlighting the need for intelligent real-time monitoring systems. This report presents a powered smart monitoring systemforautomateddetectionofindustrialaccidentsusing Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). The system combines vision-based sensors, such as CCTV or industrial cameras, with an edge computing unit running an optimized CNN model to continuously analyze live video streams. Video preprocessing techniques, including noise reduction, illumination normalization, and motion detection, are applied to improve the accuracy of frame selectionbeforeanalysisbytheCNN,whichhasbeentrained on a diverse set of annotated industrial accident scenarios, such as slips, falls, collisions, and machinery malfunctions. When an accident is detected with confidence above a predefined threshold, real-time alerts are instantly dispatched to supervisors and safety control systems, facilitating rapid emergency response and minimizing the impact of incidents. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed system achieves high accuracy with low false positive rates and detects accidents with minimal latency, making it feasible for deployment in complex industrial environments. The study also addresses challenges such as varying lighting conditions, occlusions, multiple accident types, and the balance between detection speed and computational cost. Furthermore, recommendations are provided for enhancing system performance, including multi-camera data fusion, augmentation of the training datasetwithrareaccidentcases,andhardwareacceleration using GPUs or TPUs. By enabling continuous, automated, and real-time accident detection, the proposed system significantly improves industrial safety, reduces human dependency, and provides a scalable solution adaptable to various industrial settings, demonstrating the potential of deep learning-based monitoring systems to transform accidentpreventionstrategiesinhazardousworkplaces.
