Portable gas detection meets the wireless ‘internet of things’ – what it can do for you

When

2/8/17 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm CST

Event Description

Join Blackline Safety for a discussion about the future of personal gas detection and how connected safety technology may help you improve your safety program.

Conventional gas detectors are disconnected and can do little more than call for help, hoping that someone is nearby to provide assistance. When an employee’s life may be on the line, technology can help businesses do more by responding in real-time. Wireless gas detection has begun to emerge. However, most solutions have missed the mark through over-complexity, tech and feature limitations, multiple vendor involvement and cost.

Learn about:

  • Achieving a state-of-the-art, complete and responsive employee monitoring program
  • New approaches to gas sensor replacement to maximize ROI
  • Ensuring team connectivity, no matter where they work – in plants or last-mile locations
  • Gaining a live view of compliance – equipment use and calibration
  • Proactively correcting out-of-compliance systems
  • Achieving real-time emergency response times measured in seconds
  • Initiating evacuations and actively accounting for every employee through to muster points
  • Mass notifying employees of new hazards on the jobsite
  • Monitoring lone workers who are among the more vulnerable roles
  • Improving worker productivity through connectivity
