Blackline Safety made the 2017 PROFIT 500 list with
five-year revenue growth of 316%.
“It is never easy to earn a spot on the PROFIT 500, but this
year’s applicant pool was the most competitive yet,” says Deborah
Aarts, PROFIT 500 program manager. “This year’s winners demonstrate
the resilience, innovation and sheer management smarts it takes to
build a thriving business today. Canada — and the world — needs
more entrepreneurial success stories like these.”
“Placing on the PROFIT 500 list for the fifth straight year
underscores Blackline’s success in connecting industrial workers to
a live safety monitoring team,” says Blackline Safety CEO and
Chairman, Cody Slater. “Since last year’s PROFIT 500 ranking,
we are revolutionizing the safety industry with the
introduction of G7. If an employee needs help due to an
injury, health event or gas leak, G7 mobilizes the fastest possible
emergency response to bring crucial help directly to the employee’s
location.”
Blackline Safety is a global connected safety technology leader
that delivers wireless employee-worn devices and cloud-hosted
monitoring to help businesses keep their personnel safe on-site and
in the field. In 2017, Blackline released its G7 family of wireless
gas detection and lone worker monitoring solutions, defining a new
level of employee safety. Unlike traditional gas detectors, G7c
3G-connected and G7x satellite-connected devices link workers to
live monitoring personnel, no matter where they operate. For safety
incidents, where every second counts, live monitoring personnel
answer the call for help, managing the most efficient emergency
response possible.
G7 is a modular system with a series of plug-and-play,
field-replaceable cartridges that support lone working, single-gas
and multi-gas detection requirements. Highly configurable for every
employee role and work scenario, G7 profiles stored within
Blackline’s cloud-hosted monitoring portal ensure that every G7
device is correctly configured. G7 configuration profiles and
firmware updates are pushed automatically and wirelessly to all
devices in the field — eliminating costly down-time compared to
maintaining individual gas detectors.
Recently, Blackline’s G7c device was named New Product of the
Year by OH&S Magazine and it previously won a 2017 Red Dot
award for its innovation and product design — one of the world’s
most prestigious design achievements. To learn about Blackline
