“Regulations require businesses to ensure that their gas detection fleet is fully tested, calibrated and regularly being used by personnel — this is one of the safety industry’s biggest gas detection challenges,” said Sean Stinson, VP Sales and Product Management. “The launch of G7 Insight includes a trade-in program to replace outdated ‘beep-and-flash’ gas monitors with a solution that automates and proves gas detection compliance for businesses, at a price you wouldn’t expect.”
Blackline’s software infrastructure automatically stores and processes compliance data for record keeping and reporting. Compliance managers no longer need to retrieve data from the field or review logs in order to understand their overall gas detection compliance. G7 Insight provides all the tools and software needed to achieve a real-time perspective and control over compliance programs. If employees need to calibrate their equipment in the coming days, managers can proactively monitor and manage the progress to ensure that all equipment remains in compliance.
G7 Insight enables worker-worn G7c gas detectors to be used by teams just like a traditional monitor, even in areas with limited cellular coverage. Supported with internal 3G communications, G7c automatically uploads stored compliance data and gas readings to the Safety Network with as little as 10 minutes of wireless connectivity per day. To empower the business analytics interface, G7c features internal location technology and tags each gas reading on a map. Operations teams can easily map the position of gas exposures, along with the gas type and concentration, to plan proactive facility maintenance and reduce fugitive emissions.
Blackridge Solutions provides a range of optional services, allowing businesses to customize G7 Insight to maximize overall value and accommodate their needs, including:
- Real-time alerts including fall detected, no-motion (man-down), missed check-in, high gas, low gas, short-term exposure limit (STEL), time-weighted average (TWA) gas exposure limit and more
- Online emergency response management tools
- 24/7 live monitoring from our First Responders Monitoring Center
- Two-way voice calling and messaging between the employee and live monitoring team
- Premium sensors: photoionization detector, chlorine, ammonia and carbon dioxide

Blackline Safety was recognized as Manufacturer of the Year at the 2018 Oil & Gas Awards and G7c was named New Product of the Year, Internet of Things by OH&S Magazine in the United States.
