The field o f human activity recognition (HAR) is a priority for cutting-edge study because of its potential to revolutionize the way we understand and improve our everyday lives. A large variety of ordinary, everyday tasks has been classified using H AR. Nevertheless, inc ontrast to basic human actions, the increasing demands of numerous real-world applications have attracted the interest of the HAR area of study. Electrical line workers (ELWs) face a variety of challenges, including long hours, working in isolated locations, and performing particularly hazardous tasks. Wearable sensor-based HAR allows for unobtrusive tracking of ELW efficiency and security. This study explores deep learning strategies for automatically categorizing ELWs' complicated actions through sensor data collected through a wrist-worn device. We propose ResNeXt, a deep residual neural network, and evaluate it with other deep learning networks for their ability to categorize ELW activities effectively. We employ a publicly available benchmark dataset that includes 10 ELW tasks. The results of the experiment demonstrate that the proposed ResNeXt achieved the highest accuracy (98.74%) and F1-score (98.81%) compared to other deep learning networks studied.
