Abstract

Objective: This study proposed a system for safe management of agricultural facilities whereby safety accidents of farmers are prevented from harmful factors of agricultural facilities and relevant hazardous situations, and efficient reaction is made possible when an accident occurs. Background: Recent development of information and communication technology (ICT) brought groundbreaking development of cutting-edge technologies such as the internet of things (IoT) and ubiquitous sensor network, and application of such technologies is expanding to the area of industrial safety. In particular, accidents from the hazardous environment surrounding agricultural facilities, say, from harmful gases, are frequently taking place and therefore development of services for safe farming work is required. Method: This study examined the types of safety accidents related to agricultural facilities occurring during farming work and designed a ICT-based system for safe management of accidents. Results: This study presents a model of such system and the model has the following functions: detection of harmful environment and conditions dangerous to farmers with sensor technologies; communication network technology for prevention of and fast coping with accidents; and user interface aimed at monitoring harmful environment and dangerous situations. Conclusion: The ICT-based system for safe management of agricultural facilities proposed in this study is expected to be applied as an application technology for safe agricultural activities. Application: The outcome of this study will be useful to develop a convergent ICT-based system for the prevention of safety accidents related to agricultural facilities.
