Independent judging panel recognizes Blackline’s innovation in
Emergency Response category
Blackline Safety Corp. (TSX: BLN), a global leader of gas
detection and cloud-connected safety solutions, was honored by
Occupational Health & Safety (OH&S) Magazine with a New
Product of the Year award for its partnership with Vlahi to provide
real-time, sensor-driven plume modeling. This recognition marks a
total of 13 OH&S New Product of the Year awards honoring
Blackline products over the last nine years.
“The world is entering into the new phase of the pandemic, one
where supply chain shortages and economic challenges threaten
innovation. However, it appears these hurdles are not changing the
way the safety industry continues to show up with new products and
solutions that keep employees safe,” Occupational Health &
Safety editor Sydny Shepard said. “Each year, the New Product of
the Year award program shines a light on the future of the
industry, and after seeing the winners of this year’s contest, it’s
easy to say that the future is a bright one indeed.”
Blackline’s product partnership with Vlahi Systems was named the
winner in the Emergency Response category. Through the partnership,
Vlahi offers real-time, location-enabled data from Blackline’s G7
EXO portable area gas monitors in Vlahi’s web- and smartphone-based
CERES plume modelling software. The solution is ideal for managing
scenarios related to chemical release and gas clouds that can harm
personnel and surrounding communities, or trigger fires or
explosions.
“To be recognized once again by OH&S Magazine’s panel of
independent judges is an honor,” said Brendon Cook, Chief
Partnerships Officer and Co-Founder of Blackline. “Our partnership
with Vlahi is a great example of how our connected safety solutions
can help our clients better manage their response to the unexpected
release of chemicals and gas.”
When unanticipated chemical releases occur, full situational
awareness is critical to an effective emergency response.
Responders must quickly assess what type of release it is, its
point of origin and flow rate, whether people are in the vicinity,
and the impact of factors like wind speed and direction. What’s
happening on the ground is equally as important as what could
happen next.
To ensure emergency responders have timely and accurate
information at their fingertips, Blackline partnered with Vlahi
Systems to provide real-time, sensor-driven plume dispersion
modeling.
In September 2021, Blackline announced its partnership with
Vlahi Systems, provider of cloud-hosted, sensor driven gas plume
dispersion modelling software. Using G7 EXO gas readings, CERES can
automate and deliver the most accurate, up-to-date mapping of a gas
plume, based on real-world conditions, to assist emergency
personnel in their response. Gas readings from Blackline Safety
connected wearables and area monitors inform Vlahi’s proprietary
and government-endorsed CERES software immediately, enabling CERES
to estimate the downwind concentration of a released gas to
precisely predict its size, speed and spread.
