Bump testing verifies that your device’s gas sensors and notification indicators (lights, sound, and vibration) are functioning correctly. During a bump test, a known concentration and amount of gas is applied to confirm the sensor will trigger a notification due to the gas exposure. The results of each bump test are sent to Blackline Live automatically.

The bump test schedule should be configured to match your company’s safety policy. These changes can be made in the configuration profile on Blackline Live.

Blackline recommends that your bump test interval not exceed 30 days. Where site or regulatory requirements are more stringent, Blackline recommends the more stringent requirements apply.
