The invention discloses a safety monitoring system, and belongs to the field of pattern recognition. The objective of the invention is to solve the problem that a current safety monitoring system mainly depends on manpower or the problem that an existing safety monitoring means is low in accuracy. The safety monitoring system comprises a wearing unit; the wearing unit comprises a motion sensor module used for collecting motion data of a wearer and a data processing module used for conducting recognition and anomaly detection according to the data collected by the motion sensor module. When ananomaly occurs, an anomaly signal is sent or an alarm is given through an alarm device. The safety monitoring system is suitable for safety monitoring.
