“With this new technology, we’re bringing unprecedented levels of connectivity to industrial workplaces, helping to reduce the risk of injury, boost productivity and bring proactive safety management to a new level,” said Cody Slater, CEO and Chair, Blackline Safety. “We’re responding to a direct need in the market, giving safety managers higher performing technology to access reliable, actionable data at their fingertips.”

Built-in capabilities of G6 include:

Connectivity

• Proven direct-to-cloud cellular connectivity that works straight out of the box.
• 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.
• Improved incident response time supported by real-time notifications and GPS mapping to quickly locate workers and devices and understand what’s happening on the ground as incidents unfold.

• Sensor options to quickly alert workers to exposure of toxic gases, including hydrogen sulphide (H2S), carbon monoxide (CO), oxygen (O2) and sulphur dioxide (SO2).
• Higher precision short-term exposure limit (STEL) monitoring.
• More accurate data that reduces false alarms and drives powerful reporting and analytics to get ahead of safety risks.

• Long-life rechargeable battery that lasts up to one year.
• Ability to quickly locate devices when lost or stolen.
• Device life of up to four years, double the life span of competitive models.

According to a 2022 survey by Priority Metrics Group, 75 percent of environment, health and safety (EHS) managers see significant value in gas detectors with expanded features. They’re also looking for a simpler, more integrated solution when it comes to using the data generated from gas detection systems to make better informed decisions.

Ideally suited to large industrial organisations in the oil and gas, petrochemical, manufacturing, utility, and renewable energy sectors, G6 allows users to access important single-source data from anywhere, at any time, on any Web-enabled device, and then analyse it through Blackline’s advanced reporting, visualisation and data analytics software. This means safety managers can glean critical data insights that help them stay ahead of potential risks and make daily operations more efficient. At the same time, they have state-of-the-art technology and cloud-connectivity at their fingertips to respond to incidents quickly and confidently in real-time when they do happen.

G6 comes with a full warranty and flexible purchase options that include the ability to own or lease.
