Streamlined Incident Response


INCIDENT ALERT		ALERT RECEIVED		HELP SENT

Safety alerts coming into Blackline’s SOC and ARC partners range from missed check-ins or person-down events, to high gas levels or manually triggered requests for help. Each one is managed from receipt through to resolution, adhering to each customer’s unique emergency response protocol, and can quickly escalate to involve local emergency services as needed.

Agents are equipped to trigger and expertly manage evacuations, monitoring workers’ progress to muster points throughout the drill or incident. Agents can scale alerts and communicate instructions to individual workers via two-way voice communication, or to a group or all devices using mass text messaging, ensuring no worker is ever left behind.
