READ POLICY

Unquestionable safety

Never rely on historical data to know if your fleet is compliant and that your teams’ safety is accounted for. All alert and situational data stream directly from your devices to Blackline Live in real time where it fuels professional emergency responses and intelligent efficiency studies. Access full visibility of your fleet from anywhere and trust that your teams are always covered.

Intelligent analytics

Blackline Analytics Essentials deliver a complete view of your fleet's operations. Easily identify how equipment is being used, where hazards are being encountered and even determine which devices are performing well and which can be leveraged better.

Every bump test, calibration, gas exposure and usage session is automatically recorded for hassle-free reporting. By leveraging out-of-the-box integrated connectivity and automated device log collection, your devices build a body of data today, providing measurable performance for tomorrow.

And that’s not where it ends. When you’re ready, premium analytics, powered by Blackline Vision , help you reveal efficiency opportunities on your worksite, proactively find gas leaks and more.

Ready when you are

Quickly assign shared devices between workers. Using a barcode scanner, on-the-fly device assignments are easy, changing from one user in a few seconds, making shift-changes a seamless operation.

Help is always on the line

Rest easy knowing the safety of your teams in the field is covered. Blackline’s Safety Operations Center (SOC) is the critical link between your employees and the help they need during an emergency, health event, dangerous situation and more.

With Blackline's optional 24/7 Live Monitoring service, 99% of calls for help are answered in under 60 seconds. From receipt through to resolution, responses are executed according to your custom emergency response protocol. The SOC team is even Five-Diamond Certified , meaning they are empowered to escalate responses to dispatch local emergency services to the employee’s exact location.

Always ahead of the curve

Blackline futureproofs your connected safety system, protecting your investment. Your G7 device is completely customizable and can be configured to accommodate diverse gas detection and safety monitoring needs, including no-gas lone worker, single-gas, multi-gas and multi-gas pump options. G7 can start life as a connected single-gas detector and be updated over time to support multiple gas sensors, walkie-talkie functionality and advanced lone worker monitoring. And because each unit connects directly to the Blackline Live, there’s no limit on the number of devices in your network.
