Water and Wastewater Industries Harness the Power of Connected Safety
In line with other industries around the world, the water and wastewater sector is evolving beyond a compliance-only approach to safety. Holistic technology solutions that support a more connected, digitised and data-driven operational programme are fast becoming the standard. Not only are they proven to reduce response time to incidents, but connected workers have been shown to increase productivity by 8% and reduce operational spend by 8.5% (Visual Capitalist, 2021).
That’s important for an industry that faces increased demand on their services and resources, while constrained to do more with less. Connected devices build up trust and confi dence, your people have the support they need to get the job done safely.
From cloud-connected devices that continuously monitor for safety incidents in real-time to quantitative data and insights dashboards, a comprehensive connected safety solution reveals opportunities to take safety—and your organisation as a whole—to the next level.
COMMON HEALTH AND SAFETY RISKS FOR INDUSTRY WORKERS
Workers in the water industry perform many types of activities to meet requirements across various worksites. They may be required to supervise wastewater plants, monitor fl ow meters, or check water quality at remote pumping stations or reservoirs. These tasks have inevitable risks: high voltage materials, hazardous or contaminated water, poisonous chemicals, and toxic or explosive gases. Even traffi c can be a concern, with job sites close to fast-moving vehicles prone to higher workplace risks.
Working in confi ned spaces such as sewers, pipelines, storage tanks or access tunnels is common. These environments create the risk of oxygen defi ciency, extreme temperatures or exposure to elevated levels of hydrogen sulphide (H2
spectrum of chemicals used in treatment facilities, like chlorine (Cl2 ). ) and ammonia (NH3 S) and other toxic gases. The wide ), can pose signifi cant health risks for workers.
Toxic gas in these environments is extremely hazardous, in addition to gases produced because of wastewater and treatment processes, like hydrogen sulphide and sulphur dioxide (SO2
THESE RISKS INTENSIFY IN THE CASE OF REMOTE OR LONE WORKERS.
Add it all up and you need a versatile and scalable solution for protection against all the risks your industry workers face, while ensuring you have the quickest way to reach them should the worst occur. That’s where connected technology can help.
THE BEST DATA FOR THE BEST RESPONSE
Real-time data to support a precise, robust and informed response is powerful. With cloud-connected real-time data, safety managers can have continuous situational awareness. That means being able to see the state of workers and monitoring their safety in the fi eld at all times. It means getting gas exposure alerts, person-down alarms, and manual safety triggers so you can act swiftly. Pair it with professional, live 24/7 monitoring and you’re equipped with quick response capabilities to protect your people.

G7 with ION Science PID Technology - The trusted combination for VOC monitoring The combination of ION Science Photoionisation Detector (PID) technology in Blackline Safety G7 portable personal gas detectors
and G7 EXO area monitors gives users a real-time, cloud-connected view of their Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) emissions with location data, gas mapping and comprehensive data analytics. A unique solution, and an extremely powerful tool for HSE Managers and Industrial Hygienists.
email: For More Info, email: email:
G7 wearables and G7 EXO area monitors constantly detect both VOC ambient gas levels and the employee’s location, reporting this data back to the cloud wirelessly via cellular or satellite connectivity.
Every reading streamed to the cloud ensures that all data is immediately available for visualisation of PID readings on a map overlay, giving Industrial Hygienists and HSE Managers the ability to identify hotspots and problem areas and take proactive action to address an issue before it becomes an incident.
Gas logs streamed from each G7 device generate a large volume of data that is processed by the Blackline Live compliance dashboard. Blackline Analytics enables users to gain insights into how and where equipment is being used, where hazards are being encountered and every bump test, calibration and gas exposure is automatically recorded.
The ION Science MiniPID 2 is a simple plug-and-play sensor that delivers dynamic and dependable response to a wide range of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in a broad range of applications.
• PID independently verifi ed as best performing on the market • Humidity-resistant • Anti-contamination design • 10,000 hours lamp life • World leading temperature stability • 10.6 eV lamp • Internal gas table with over 700 VOCs & toxic compounds • Expected life > 5 years
The MiniPID 2 sensor includes patented Fence Electrode Technology to give results you can trust in the most challenging environments by providing industry-leading humidity resistant performance and anti- contamination design, protecting the sensor from moisture, dust and aerosols. Designed for both diffusive and pumped sampling, MiniPID 2 delivers an exceptional response time.
All Blackline Safety’s G7 sensors include a lifetime warranty. And should anything happen to a sensor, or if your MiniPID 2 sensor needs to be serviced, replacing the cartridge takes just a few seconds, greatly reducing any downtime.
