EXO 8’s industry-leading connectivity, extended battery life and ease of deployment drive value for Total Safety’s rental customers

Blackline Safety Corp. (TSX: BLN), a global leader in connected safety technology, together with Total Safety, a leading global provider of integrated industrial safety solutions, today announced a new $1.6 million deal that sees Total Safety purchasing over 100 of Blackline’s next-generation EXO 8 portable area monitors.

The EXO 8s will become part of Total Safety’s rental fleet, contracted by some of the world’s largest energy companies for critical monitoring and maintenance activities, including turnarounds. A turnaround is a scheduled event where an entire part of an industrial plant is shut down to perform inspections, maintenance and upgrades.

"At Total Safety, our mission is to ensure the safe Wellbeing of Workers Worldwide (W3) and provide customers with the most effective solutions for safeguarding their teams during high-stakes operations like refinery and petrochemical turnarounds," said Robbie Payne, Senior Vice President of Operations at Total Safety. "We chose Blackline’s new EXO 8 connected area monitor because of its advanced cloud connectivity, easy setup, long battery life and ability to monitor up to eight gases in real time.”

Portable area monitors continuously check the air around them to detect dangerous gases or radiation that humans can't see or smell on their own. EXO 8—unveiled in September 2024 at the National Safety Council (NSC) Safety Congress & Expo in Orlando, Florida—is the only direct-to-cloud area monitor capable of detecting up to eight gases and gamma radiation.

Now in volume production and shipping globally, EXO 8 has already secured major orders, including Total Safety’s recent purchase for its rental fleet. Ideally suited to large industrial organizations in the oil and gas, petrochemical, mining, water and wastewater sectors—alongside fire-hazmat and homeland security associations—EXO 8 helps teams rapidly respond to incidents involving hazardous substances and ensure the safety of workers, first responders, the public and the environment during these events.

“EXO 8 represents a significant leap forward in safety technology," said Cody Slater, CEO and Chair of Blackline Safety. "Worker safety is at the heart of everything we do, and we’re thrilled to see an industry leader like Total Safety adopt our new EXO 8 area monitors to protect workers during such critical operations. It’s partnerships like this that enable us to put our cutting-edge solutions into the hands of those who need them most, ensuring safer workplaces around the globe."
