What We Do
Connect. Monitor. Respond. It’s a simple and seamless sequence of events and also our mission: one that makes sure every worker gets their job done and returns home safely every day. Blackline pairs wearable safety technology and personal and area gas monitoring with cloud-connected software, and data analytics to help companies meet demanding safety challenges and increase productivity with coverage in more than 100 countries. Our technology provides a lifeline to tens of thousands of people, having reported over 160 billion data-points, and initiated over five million emergency responses. Armed with cellular and satellite connectivity, we ensure help is never too far away. The Blackline Difference: To guarantee no call for help ever goes unanswered, our direct-to-cloud technology detects every event—like a fall, gas leak, hazardous weather situation, no-motion incident or missed check-ins–and connects workers to live monitoring teams for real-time response, by real people. It’s what makes us different and it’s what gives workers peace of mind that their safety is accounted for in any circumstance.
