Blackline Safety is a manufacturer of cloud-connected wearable safety devices and area gas monitors. These devices protect lone workers and those at risk of exposure to hazardous gases at industrial worksites—like refineries or manufacturing facilities—by providing 24/7 connectivity for critical communications, enabling the fastest response times for help. Data from the devices also delivers actionable insights to help companies proactively improve safety and efficiency.

Over 2,200 companies across a dozen industries currently rely on Blackline to keep their people safe. In fact, about 165,000 workers wear our devices every day with the confidence they can get the job done and return home safe. Key sectors for us are manufacturing, oil and gas, water and wastewater, utilities and fire/hazmat.

Included with every device is our Essential Reports data services package. This suite of automated reports organizes the information from device use into easy-to-read visuals and analytics.

Companies use the reports to improve safety—for example, looking at alert trends to help predict and prevent incidents, or looking at device usage to understand and improve compliance—which enhances the value connected safety delivered to companies and their workers.

Plus, automated reporting ensures accuracy, eliminates reporting errors and improves efficiency. You don’t get that from traditional devices which rely on the manual collection of usage data and gas reading information.

Ease of set-up – devices that work straight out of the box

One of the best parts of cloud-connected safety solutions compared to traditional ones is their ease of use and set up.

Our devices have instant connectivity right out-of-the-box. Turn them on and they’re ready to use—no additional IT infrastructure required and minimal training needed. Over-the-air configuration changes and firmware updates are also automated, saving you time and money.

Traditional solutions by contrast, require on-site configuration changes—usually by a trained technician—which can be time-consuming and impractical for large fleets.

Blackline makes it truly easy to take safety to the next level.
