Protecting Workers' Safety During Shutdowns and Turnarounds

Avoid safety incidents and minimize downtime during refinery outages.

Whether it’s a planned turnaround, shutdown or an unforeseen outage, oil and gas facilities need to periodically take assets and processes offline and suspend production. This creates challenges with workplace productivity and safety for regular employees as well as contract workers that are less familiar with the facility and its standard safety procedures. 

No one knows the risks during a plant or refinery shutdown better than Blackline, which is why we have you covered during those hazardous periods with our ecosystem of connected safety solutions and analytics. We help get workers and contractors home safe—every day—with personal gas detectors and area gas monitoring that protects them from explosions, falls, confined spaces, potentially dangerous hazards like toxic gases and VOCs, or working alone.

Intro to G6 Single-Gas

The ideal single-gas detector for shutdowns and turnarounds, the G6 combines cloud connectivity and data insights helps you quickly respond to and prevent safety incidents and manage compliance. The G6 adds value beyond traditional throwaway beep-and-flash detectors.


Almost 50% of work-related accidents in plants occur during plant maintenance outages.

Uncompromised visibility to keep your entire team safe during a plant shutdown.

Whether it's a worker out of sight from others or protecting those conducting confined space entries for maintenance or repairs, we have your back during a shutdown or turnaround.
  •  Reliable direct-to-cloud connectivity as soon as the device is turned on
  • Real-time visibility of workers' safety, device compliance status and gas readings or alarms
  •  Integrated location technology 
  •  Two-way voice communication  
  •  Patented SOS latch to trigger emergency response 
  •  Fall and no motion detection

And with the flexibility to buy, lease or rent wearable gas detection devices and area monitors for a shutdown or turnaround gives the option for Operations Managers, Safety Managers and contractors to acquire products under either CapEx or OpEx budgets.

Gas detector for oil refinery shutdown

Protected because they’re connected.

Whether it’s a lone worker in a remote area of the refinery, an entire facility needing to be monitored for potential gas hazards or an emergency response or evacuation, nothing is more important than reliable connectivity.

G7 wearables’ instant connectivity allows you to locate any team member, in any location, at any time using location technology, cellular or satellite connectivity and two-way communications. 

Oil and gas refinery shutdown safety software

Uncompromised visibility into every situation to keep your team safe.

A large part of dealing with incidents, is preventing them from happening in the first place. Blackline Live, our safety and productivity software platform, allows you to protect your workforce with real-time visibility into the status of every connected device to ensure the safety of every worker. With data analytics, you’ll have historical data to help you identify and anticipate potentially dangerous situations so that changes in safety measures can be taken to further protect workers.

Gas detection devices for shutdowns and turnaround

Durable. Reliable. Versatile.

Whether it’s the harsh environment of a refinery, a confined space entry or an extended job in the extreme heat or cold, with Blackline, you get the most rugged, reliable and durable safety products that perform brilliantly in extreme conditions. With 100-day battery life and added power through the intrinsically-safe charging port or optional solar panel, G7 EXO is an area monitor with built-in cost and time savings. In addition to being a leading connected single-gas to five-gas detector with or without pump, G7 wearables offer versatile safety features beyond gas detection including fall detection, missed check-in alarms, two-way communication and push to talk functionality.

Use your hidden data to manage turnarounds like never before.

Blackline Vision takes the data already being collected from your connected devices and utilizes data science processes and algorithms to uncover opportunities to increase operational efficiency and productivity during a turnaround or shutdown. This can save hours or days of work which, in turn, gets production back online faster – potentially adding millions in revenue that otherwise would have been lost.
