Blackline Safety Corp wins $2.7 million job with U.S. energy provider

Blackline Safety Corp. recently won a $2.7 million, four-year contract with a large upstream energy company based in Houston, Texas. The Calgary-based provider of connected safety technology will provide 800 G7c cloud-connected wearable safety devices, 40 EXO cloud-connected area monitors, and 75 G7 docks.

The new contract marks the shift away from a tech product the company has used for the last three decades.

The move is expected to enhance employees’ safety, particularly those employees working alone, by delivering consistent, reliable cellular coverage across a wide territory. Blackline’s features—including SOS latch, fall and no motion detection, push-to-talk, and real-time connectivity—sold the new energy sector client on the partnership.

“The customer evaluated Blackline’s connected safety devices in comparison to products from their long-term supplier,” said Sean Stinson, President and Chief Growth Officer, Blackline Safety. “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.”

The energy company was also keen on the EXO area monitor’s ability to monitor rigs, tank batteries, and well sites 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 said. 

Blackline’s G7 personal gas detectors and EXO area gas monitors are built for extreme conditions and, with location-enabled technology, provide a critical lifeline—anytime. G7 Dock is Blackline’s simple solution to calibrating, bump testing, and charging G7 devices, which doesn’t require complicated ethernet or Wi-Fi connections.

“Blackline products set the standard for the safest lone worker solution on the market,” said Stinson. 

This contract provides protection for more than 800 workers and represents the current need for reliable safety solutions for lone workers, such as gas detection and area monitoring.
