Bump Test

Bump testing verifies that your device’s gas sensors and notification indicators (lights, sound, and vibration) are functioning correctly. During a bump test, you apply a known concentration and amount of gas to confirm the sensors will trigger a notification due to the gas exposure.

Your bump test schedule should be informed by your company’s safety policy and is configurable by your Blackline Live administrator.

G7 automatically communicates bump test data to the Blackline Safety Network and reminds you when a bump test is overdue. You can configure the bump test schedule in Blackline Live.

Note: To meet CSA LEL performance standard, you must bump test before each day’s use. Blackline recommends you do not exceed 30 days without a bump test.
