Real-time connectivity and lone worker features were deciding
factors in selecting Blackline to protect workers
Blackline Safety Corp. (TSX: BLN), a global leader in connected
safety technology, today announced a four-year contract valued at
$2.7 million with a major U.S. upstream energy company
headquartered in Houston, Texas.
The company selected Blackline to provide over 800 G7c
cloud-connected wearable safety devices, 40 EXO cloud-connected
area monitors, and 75 G7 Docks. This new fleet marks a shift away
from a competitor’s products, which the company had used for 30
years.
The decision to upgrade was driven by the company’s dedication
to safety and need to better protect their workers—especially those
working alone—by ensuring consistent, reliable cellular coverage
across a vast geographic area. Ultimately, Blackline’s features
such as SOS latch, fall and no motion detection, push-to-talk, and
real-time connectivity sealed the deal.
“The customer evaluated Blackline’s connected safety devices in
comparison to products from their long-term supplier. It took less
than a week for G7c to stand out for its broad connectivity range,
and the ability to see where their lone workers might be in
imminent danger so they can make sure their people are safe,” said
Sean Stinson, President and Chief Growth Officer, Blackline
Safety.
“The company was also impressed with the EXO area monitor’s
ability to monitor rigs, tank batteries, and wellsites during
repair and maintenance operations. With no power, Wi-Fi, or
infrastructure requirements, EXO’s drop-and-go setup is exactly
what they were looking for,” Stinson added.
Blackline’s award-winning G7 personal gas detectors and EXO area
gas monitors—built for extreme conditions, with location-enabled
technology—provide layers of protection to ensure a critical
lifeline during an emergency. G7 Dock is Blackline’s simple
solution to calibrating, bump testing and charging G7 devices
without any complicated ethernet or Wi-Fi connection
requirements.
This new deal provides protection for over 800 workers so they
have the confidence to do their job and get home safe at the end of
their day. The multiyear contract demonstrates that companies are
looking for reliable, all-in-one connected safety solutions for
lone workers, gas detection, and area monitoring to better protect
their workers.
“We unseat the competition because Blackline products set the
standard for the safest lone worker solution on the market,”
Stinson noted. “We’ve innovated a stagnant industry and elevated
the bar to keep workers safer than they have ever been.”
