Abstract

Fall prevention has always been taken under mere consideration and is often ignored, but fall from heights is the biggest concern that cannot be neglected. The methods and devices so far designed to prevent the fall from towers are not too worthy to resolve and in such cases the people working on high towers are meant to be guarded with ropes or ladders. If the ropes are not tethered properly else if the ladders are detected with internal faults, then it will eventually lead to an emergency call. The fall is predicted on the basis of the working of the heart and pulse level of that individual; further it is assumed that the other protective equipment are not working at that particular point of time, where this device will play a crucial role. An emergency message or call is immediately transmitted as soon as the proposed model detects the abrupt increment in pulses. In this way, the proposed model can protect the person from head injuries or even death.
