“…The different Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) of an organization, such as near-misses, injuries, fatalities, and lost work hours, create a long-term impact on the production process. Various industrial safety-related issues that the researchers address include process safety, electrical equipment in hazardous zones, electric shocks, safe work practices, safety designs, and ground fault protection techniques [107], [108], [110]. Additionally, hot or radioactive zones involving molten metals, laser cutters, and other such highly hazardous processes in smelters, foundries, forges, and mills are also substantial risk factors in their respective industries.…”

“…It is worth noting that the emerging risks of electricity were a driving force for the foundation of standardization bodies and that safety regulations were among the first standards to be published (1889 in Austria, 1895 in Germany). Still, during the late 20 th century, severe injuries and loss of lives due to electrocution is one of the leading reasons for fatalities at the workplace [108]. Further, the construction of power and communication transmission lines was marked as one of the most hazardous and was ranked fourth with respect to the number of fatalities [10].…”

Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) aims to achieve higher operational and management efficiencies by bridging machinery, equipment, human resources, and all other actors involved in an industrial environment. This bridging enables data flow over an often complex and heterogeneous communication network. It enables timely decision-making, which affects various aspects of the organization such as business, operations, maintenance, safety, stock, and logistics. Despite the plethora of works in the domain of IIoT dealing with the above aspects, very few works deal with safety in industries. Industrial safety, especially whenever it is intertwined with the safety of humans, is a critical domain and holds much scope for improvement in the context of IIoT-based solutions for industrial safety management. Through this survey, we provide a comprehensive overview of the safety issues prevalent in the industries. Subsequently, we classify and provide an in-depth analysis of the safety aspects in various application areas of IIoT such as healthcare, transportation, manufacturing, and mining. Finally, we examine the research gaps in various domains and recommend future research directions. We discuss diverse forms of technologies, prototypes, systems, models, methods, and applications to ensure the safety of individuals and the risks associated with them. The primary aim of this work is to analyze and synthesize the existing researches and acknowledge the applicability of these research works towards safety management using IIoT.
