For people who work outside, winter weather can pose a range of risks, including to your portable gas monitor. By following some simple tips, you can worry less about your portable gas monitor’s performance and trust that you can depend on it to prevent exposure to toxic or combustible gases.

Today, many industrial facilities use a variety of gas analyzer technologies to monitor for hazardous air pollutants whose levels are often regulated down to parts per million because of long-term exposure risks. So, what should a manufacturer look for when measuring low-level hazardous air pollutants in ambient air?

G7c personal wearable by Blackline Safety is the world’s first connected gas detector and lone worker safety monitor certified to the newly-upgraded BS 8484:2022, the standard that underpins the UK’s lone worker safety leadership.

Getting the right gas monitor for the job doesn’t need to be a cumbersome task, particularly with recent advancements in technology.

Confined spaces come in many forms — from silos and storage bins to tanks and maintenance holes. Every confined space presents hazards to those who enter and operate within them.

While on the job, field service workers must spend a lot of time on the road and interact with electrical equipment, heavy machinery, and power tools that could post dangerous risks if not properly approached. 

The solution provides gas, electric and water utility companies and municipalities with an advanced digitalized approach to the traditional “paint and flags” practice of utility line locating. 

Safety managers should know how important it is to keep workers mobile in the field without leaving them vulnerable to hazardous gases. The technology behind portable gas detectors is getting smarter while the devices themselves are getting lighter.

 Workers in the oil and gas extraction industry face numerous hazards including motor vehicle crashes, falls, fatigue, and exposure to silica, hydrocarbon gases and vapors, or noise.

When an organization’s job is to respond to fires, explosions or any other disaster that may come along, ensuring their first responders are protected is paramount. That’s why Blackline Safety Corp. is unveiling an equipment trade-in program designed to make it easier than ever for fire departments and emergency response teams to acquire cutting-edge gas detection equipment and the monitoring software that comes with it to keep crews safe.
