Calgary-based Blackline Safety Corp. (TSX: BLN), a global leader
in connected safety technology, has donated 35 of its breakthrough
G7c wearable safety devices to the Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth.
They’ll be installed in the Stampede’s fleet of Courtesy Cars used
to drop off and pick up special guests such as entertainers,
dignitaries, rodeo competitors, sponsors and the Stampede
Board.
The all-in-one safety devices are equipped with location
technology, integrated cellular connectivity and two-way
communication via Push-to Talk that allows the devices to be used
like a walkie-talkie. This smart, connected technology will help
the Courtesy Car Committee manage their fleet in real-time and
ensure maximum safety and efficiency in the mapping, monitoring and
dispatching of vehicles. They will also be worn by drivers when
they leave the vehicles to add an additional layer of safety.
“Blackline is delighted to supply our technology – configured to
the specific safety and location management needs of the Stampede –
and provide unmatched protection and efficiency to support the
event and its volunteer Courtesy Car drivers,” said Christine
Gillies, Chief Marketing Officer, Blackline Safety.
Blackline’s small, wireless wearable devices are currently used
by 150,000 people in 70 countries. Intended for work environments –
from lone workers in the field to retail, industrial and office
workers – the G7 cloud-enabled units are allowing people to work
smarter and safer by providing unprecedented connectivity. Easily
configurable, the devices accurately detect gas leaks, falls and
other health events and can also be used for contact tracing
purposes or to determine how often workers travel through high-risk
areas.
