Blackline Safety named Manufacturer of the Year at the Oil & Gas Awards
09 March 2018 - 9:03AM
At the 6th annual Oil & Gas Awards, Texas Region gala, an
independent panel of judges named Blackline Safety Corp.
(“Blackline”) (TSXV:BLN) as the Manufacturer of the Year,
highlighting the recent impact of its leading connected worker
safety monitoring solutions on the energy sector.
The Manufacturer of the Year Award recognizes the outstanding
contribution that a manufacturer has made to industry. To be
eligible for this category, manufacturers must demonstrate adoption
of its products and services by clients in the region.
Industry leaders including Nabors, Total Safety, U.S. Well
Services, Williams and Select Energy Services sponsored the event
while the judging panel included members from BHP Billiton,
Marathon Oil, Texas A&M and Statoil, among others. Recognizing
Blackline’s contribution to the industry, comments from the judges
included:
“Handheld gas detection is not necessarily something new, but
wireless safety monitoring, which live reports any issues —
including injury, health event, gas leak or security threat — to a
24/7 operations center … is going to revolutionize many companies’
health and safety monitoring.”
“They may be a new name, but you just have to look at the
history of the CEO to know they will be sticking around.”
“Our team at Blackline appreciates the recognition from the
judges at the Oil & Gas Awards,” said Cody Slater, Chief
Executive Officer and Chairman of Blackline Safety. “We take very
seriously our ability to save a life with help from our real-time
wireless gas detection and lone worker monitoring solutions. We are
proud of our achievements in product development and manufacturing,
leading to the delivery of revolutionary connected safety
technology and services.”
Blackline’s award-winning G7 connected safety product line
combines wireless gas detection, lone worker monitoring, evacuation
management, real-time compliance and productivity-improvement into
a single wearable device that is supported by industrial-grade,
cloud-hosted monitoring software and services. G7 devices are the
only modular solutions available that do not rely on Wi-Fi
connectivity or Bluetooth connections to a smartphone — they are
turnkey solutions that incorporate 3G wireless connectivity,
two-way voice calling, automatic incident detection and
plug-and-play cartridges to accommodate a broad range of gas
detection requirements.
Previously, Blackline’s G7c wireless gas detection and lone
worker monitoring device was named New Product of the Year by
OH&S Magazine and won a 2017 Red Dot award for its innovation
and product design — one of the world’s most prestigious design
achievements. To learn about Blackline Safety, visit
