Blackline Safety Corp G6 personal gas detector

Blackline Safety Corp has launched a connected wearable that is designed to transform single-gas detection. The G6 personal gas detector offers fast incident response time and an efficient way to manage safety and compliance. The gas detector provides long-lasting connectivity that enables industrial organisations to harness real-time safety data in scenarios where disposable, traditional beep-and-flash detectors are commonly used.

A fully connected and intuitive solution that leverages Internet of Things (IoT) cellular connectivity, the personal gas detector delivers expanded benefits such as longer battery life, lower cost of ownership and fewer false alarms. It also provides access to data needed to manage safety protocols, processors and ongoing compliance effectively and efficiently.

The personal gas detector features direct-to-cloud cellular connectivity that is designed to work straight out of the box and complete safety management through the Blackline Live software portal, with the ability to view an entire fleet of devices from a single screen and deliver automatic, over-the-air firmware and configuration updates. It also supports an improved incident response time through real-time notifications and GPS mapping to locate workers and devices and understand what’s happening on the ground as incidents unfold.

It also features sensor options to alert workers to exposure of toxic gases, including hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), carbon monoxide (CO), oxygen (O₂) and sulfur dioxide (SO₂). The personal gas detector provides higher precision short-term exposure limit (STEL) monitoring, along with accurate data that reduces false alarms and drives reporting and analytics to get ahead of safety risks. The device has a long-life rechargeable battery that is designed to last up to one year, with a device life of up to four years. It can also locate devices when lost or stolen.

Suitable for large industrial organisations in the oil and gas, petrochemical, manufacturing, utility, and renewable energy sectors, the personal gas detector allows users to access single-source data from anywhere, at any time, on any Web-enabled device, and analyse it through Blackline’s reporting, visualising and data analytics software. This enables safety managers to glean data insights to stay ahead of potential risks. The G6 comes with a full warranty and flexible purchase options.
