Incidents can change rapidly. Devices stream real-time data to generate real-time situational awareness that facilitates informed decision-making.

Key Benefit Icons-Final-07Post-Incident Insights

Automated reports help you understand usage, exposure levels, alerts and more with actual data—not subjective info from the hotwash.
“With Blackline Safety’s connected gas detection tools supporting our hazmat team, I was confident we all had the critical information we needed to make decisions and target our response. I was able to monitor the entire situation as it happened remotely from my cell phone.”
- Fire Chief of Major American City
"Being able to hear the radio transmissions and see the location of the responders on the map, we were able to quickly direct and adjust the response remotely. And with the real-time data – we could follow how the incident was progressing. The safety devices proved their worth to us right then and there.”
- Fire Department Lieutenant, Major US City
“A firefighter on our team had the idea to attach a G6 to the paramedic bag that comes in with us at every medical call. On this call, that idea proved itself and saved lives. I’ve come to rely on G6 for its accuracy and sensitivity. I’ve told all my crew, I’ve told everybody, when they get a CO call, always take the device with them.”
Lt. Joe Anderson II, Adams County Fire Department

When Seconds Matter: Protecting Emergency Responders and the Public from Radiation

When it comes to radioactive materials, early detection can mean the difference between safety and irreversible harm. The good news? New tech is making it faster and easier to detect and respond to radioactive materials before they pose a serious risk.

FAQs

What do you mean by connected safety? How does it work?

Connected safety refers to the integration of safety systems, devices, and people through digital technologies—such as IoT, cloud computing, and real-time data analytics—to enhance emergency response and decision-making.

Cloud-connectivity enables real-time gas detection, lone worker safety and rapid fire incident response. That’s why connected safety is a critical component of firefighter safety gear and first responder safety worldwide.

Do connected safety devices require much set-up or training for response teams?

During a fire incident or hazmat emergency response teams need to focus on the task at hand rather than being tasked with an unnecessarily long equipment deployment. Having a reliable, easy-to-use devices saves valuable time when arriving at an incident. And with safety capabilities all-in-one piece equipment its an efficient component of your emergency rescue gear.

Blackline’s devices automatically connect to the cloud and begin sending real-time incident data to your department's dashboard in under three minutes. And with automated firmware updates over the air, they’re always up to date. Our award-winning, intuitive user interface translates to minimal training requirements and hassle-free use to provide powerful insights into first responder safety.

Can your devices detect gamma radiation?

Yes. Our EXO area monitor can be equipped with a gamma sensor to detect gamma radiation.

Understanding gamma radiation's unique properties is essential for public safety solutions in high-risk environments. Blackline has developed a comprehensive whitepaper that covers gamma radiation detection technologies, safety protocols and best practices for hazmat safety and industrial fire safety.
