Global sales of first-of-their-kind connected personal and area
gas monitors reach over $2M
As the global workplace safety market continues to
grow—estimated to reach $42.96 billion by 2032 with an annual
growth rate of 11.8% according to Polaris Market Research—leading
safety technology provider Blackline Safety Corp. (TSX: BLN) has
announced a 50% increase in its fire-hazmat personal and area gas
monitor business in the last year alone.
This translates to over $2 million in total contract value of
Blackline’s real-time, cloud-connected safety devices and services,
used by hundreds of fire and hazmat, oil and gas, petrochemical,
food production, biotech, transportation, utilities, and water and
wastewater organizations across North America, Europe, Middle East,
Australia and New Zealand.
Crediting the growth to the company’s industry-first product
capabilities, Doug Mayer, Blackline Fire Hazmat Business
Development Specialist, explained that “Blackline’s No. 1 priority
is helping organizations keep their employees and communities safe,
and recognizing that every second counts in an emergency. We have
reimagined safety solutions for various scenarios – from chemical
spills and fires, to floods, gas leaks, explosions, and any other
high-risk situation – by enabling organizations to respond with
unprecedented speed, accuracy and as-it-happens visibility.”
Blackline’s award-winning G7 personal gas detectors and G7 EXO
area gas monitors—built for extremes and the toughest conditions,
with GPS-enabled location tracking—provide layers of protection to
ensure a critical lifeline during an emergency. Supported by
Blackline Live, the company’s powerful, cloud-connected monitoring
and analytics platform, the technology enables organizations to
view in real time all their workers’ locations and gas readings in
the field, and configure their devices, from any Internet-connected
smartphone, tablet or computer, no matter how remote the
location.
“Imagine being able to position an incident command center and
direct responders from anywhere in mere minutes – that’s the
game-changing capability of the Blackline Live monitoring
platform,” Mayer said. “With quick connectivity and real-time data
continuously streaming to the command center, decision makers can
immediately understand the situation and risks, and confidently and
quickly deploy potentially life-saving responses, including
coordinating and communicating with stakeholders like local, state
or federal agencies.”
Key features of Blackline’s G7 solutions include:
- Real-time connected safety for lone workers/workers in
emergency situations: Incident commanders can always see the
location of incident responders and monitor team members – as well
as variables such as gas exposures, person down, no motion, SOS
latch, etc. – from any location.
- On-the-go flexibility: Swappable gas sensor cartridges
enable users to select single-gas diffusion, multi-gas diffusion or
multi-gas pump cartridges for any device. Each device can be
configured while travelling to the scene by swapping out the
pre-calibrated sensor cartridge rather than the entire device.
- Device connection to Vlahi's web- and smartphone-based CERES
software: Using Vlahi proprietary, government-endorsed plume
dispersion modeling platform, incident leaders can see the size,
direction, speed, and spread of released gases to minimize exposure
and respond most effectively to protect communities.
- Community alerts: In the event of incidents like major
fires or chemical spills, the devices’ area monitoring capabilities
inform first responders when evacuation or shelter-in-place orders
might be needed and help reassure communities they are safe.
- Automated analytics: All data collected by Blackline
devices can be imported into central control room – or third party
– software platforms to analyze incident responses and identify
areas for improvement.
“Subjective post-mortems are no longer enough to ensure
effective fire and hazmat responses,” Mayer said. “Blackline
Safety’s advanced technology allows organizations to actually see
what’s happening in the field in real time so they can effectively
collaborate with down-range responders in real-time and also give
them the ability to predict what might happen in the future.”
According to the Fire Department Lieutenant of a major U.S.
city, the instantaneous, big picture view provided by Blackline’s
safety devices is invaluable. When responding to a dangerous fuel
spill last year, for example, the G7 personal gas detectors worn on
the scene by the department’s firefighters “proved their worth to
us right then and there,” the Fire Department Lieutenant said.
“With the real-time data, we could follow how the incident was
progressing…. and being able to hear the radio transmissions and
see the location of the responders on the map, we were able to
quickly direct and adjust the response remotely,” he said.
