10,000+ workers across the UK water industry will now be
protected with Blackline Safety wearables
Blackline Safety Corp. (TSX: BLN), a global leader in connected
safety technology, today provided further details on its previously
announced $2 million deal with Severn Trent Water for connected
personal gas detection devices to protect its employees and support
its digital transformation.
The deal has now entered the deployment stage with
implementation underway. Upon completion this new deal means
Blackline Safety will protect over 10,000 workers across six of the
12 UK water and wastewater authorities that now use Blackline’s
industry-leading technology.
Earlier this month, Severn Trent began the deployment of the
first 1,650 G7c wearable devices. Over the coming months, the water
authority will replace their existing gas detection units with over
2,600 Blackline Safety G7c wearable devices and associated
services. The three-year investment secured via Blackline
distribution partner Breathe Safety, includes an option to extend
for an additional five years of service, which would bring the
total value to over $4.2 million (£2.7 million). Breathe Safety is
leading the implementation and device rollout with Severn
Trent.
“The value of real-time cloud-connected data, paired with
scalable technology that adapts to changing work environments,
allows Blackline to continue to see strong adoption of our
connected safety solutions across the water and wastewater industry
providing water and wastewater services to over 26.6 million
customers - almost 40% of the population of the UK,” said Julian
Jarvis, UK Zone Manager, Blackline Safety.
Blackline’s G7 lone worker and personal gas detection devices
are robust and intelligent connected wearables that accurately
detect gas hazards, instantly notify both workers and managers in
real time, enable contact tracing as well as corrective action to
be taken to mitigate future incidents. The devices are supported by
Blackline’s professional 24/7 live monitoring service, which
ensures maximum worker protection with automated safety incident
and health event monitoring, including features such as no-motion
and fall detection, and missed check-ins.
