G7 EXO field trials begin as Blackline prepares for first
deliveries this Spring
Blackline Safety (TSX.V: BLN), a global leader in gas detection
and connected safety solutions, is now accepting pre-orders for G7
EXO, the industry’s first direct-to-cloud, drop-and-go area gas
monitor with an unprecedented battery life of over 100 days. G7
EXO, designed to withstand the harshest of conditions, addresses
the challenges of traditional systems by introducing 4G cellular
and satellite connectivity to deliver a user-friendly, long-lasting
solution. Select customers and partners are now conducting G7 EXO
field trials to experience firsthand the new era of area gas
monitoring for oil and chemical terminals, fence lines and
perimeters, spill sites, drilling rigs and facility maintenance
projects. Launching Spring 2020, G7 EXO will enable businesses
around the world to see the impact that cloud connectivity will
have on operational efficiencies and their environmental, social
and governance (ESG) programs.

“For the first time, businesses can remotely keep an eye on
worksites alongside the safety of their teams using a single,
seamless platform,” said Gavin Boorman, Managing Director of
Blackline Safety Europe. “G7 EXO area gas monitors along with our
G7 wearables continuously stream situational insights to the
Blackline Safety Cloud, delivering a complete picture of a
business’s operations. G7 EXO makes it easy for companies to adopt
the latest in industrial cloud-connected technology so they can
focus on their work while accounting for the wellbeing of workers
and facilities along the way.”
With an industry-leading run time of over 100 days for a
four-gas configuration, the G7 EXO can save hours in traveling from
a jobsite to another location to change batteries. This enhances a
team’s productivity by keeping them in the field longer and more
focused on their job at hand.
G7 EXO is also easier to set up and maintain than any other area
gas monitor on the market. While traditional area gas monitors
require users to establish a mesh network that requires line of
sight between monitors, G7 EXO offers instant connectivity when
powered on. Competitors’ mesh networks are also vulnerable to
communications interruptions and limit the number of devices as
well as the service area range. In contrast, G7 EXO area gas
monitors work around the globe and connect directly to the
Blackline Safety Cloud without any range limits between area gas
monitors and worker-worn G7 gas monitors. Since each G7 EXO and
employee-worn monitor connects directly to the Blackline Safety
Cloud, there is no need for industrial-grade smartphones, cellular
gateways or Wi-Fi connections to link on-site personnel and area
gas monitors to remote teams.
G7 EXO will work with cloud-hosted geographic zones that map a
site into several areas to deliver a better way of alerting on-site
personnel when there’s gas in the area. Connecting to the Blackline
Cloud, G7 EXO alerts everyone in the zone through their G7
connected wearable monitors. Zones support an unlimited number of
G7 EXO area gas monitors and G7 wearables, ensuring no one on the
jobsite is unaware of a gas exposure in the area. By connecting to
the Blackline cloud, live monitoring personnel are able to dispatch
nearby responders or evacuate the area. No one is left unaware or
behind.
Further strengthening worker safety and automation, G7 EXO also
delivers:
- Optional push-to-talk voice communication across 100
channels
- The industry’s only 24/7 live monitoring service, provided by
Blackline’s in-house Safety Operations Center (SOC) and its
international network of partner Alarm Receiving Centers (ARC)
- Standard diffusion operation with a four-channel pump launching
in 2020
- Modularity with plug-and-play cartridges that support more than
20 gas sensor options
- Seamless integration with G7 wearables
- Simultaneous monitoring of up to five gases
- Cloud-stored configuration profiles for drop-and-go
deployment
- Automated usage and compliance reporting
- Integrated GPS and location beacon positioning technology
- Rugged aluminum subframe with rubberized bumpers for the
harshest conditions

Advance Notice By-Law: Blackline is also pleased to
announce that the board of directors (the "Board") of Blackline has
adopted an advance notice by-law (the "Advance Notice By-law"). The
Advance Notice By-law sets forth provisions requiring advance
notice to Blackline in circumstances where nominations of persons
for election to the Board are made by shareholders of Blackline.
More specifically, the Advance Notice By-law fixes a deadline by
which holders of record of common shares of Blackline must submit
director nominations to the Chief Financial Officer of Blackline
prior to any annual or special meeting of shareholders and sets
forth the specific information that a shareholder must include in
the written notice to the Chief Financial Officer of Blackline for
an effective nomination to occur. No person will be eligible for
election as a director of Blackline unless nominated in accordance
with the provisions of the Advance Notice By-law.
In the case of an annual general meeting of shareholders, notice
to the Chief Financial Officer of Blackline must be made not less
than 30 prior to the date of the annual general meeting of
shareholders; provided, however, that in the event that the annual
general meeting of shareholders is to be held on a date that is
less than 50 days after the date (the "Notice Date") on which the
first public announcement of the date of the annual meeting was
made, notice by the nominating shareholder may be made not later
than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the
Notice Date.
In the case of a special meeting (which is not also an annual
general meeting) of shareholders called for the purpose of electing
directors (whether or not called for other purposes), notice to the
Chief Financial Officer of Blackline must be made not later than
the close of business on the fifteenth (15th) day following the day
on which the first public announcement of the date of the special
meeting of shareholders was made.
The Advance Notice By-law is now effective and in full force and
effect. The Advance Notice By-law will be put to shareholders of
Blackline for approval at its upcoming annual and special meeting
of shareholders scheduled for April 7, 2020. If the Advance Notice
By-law is not confirmed at the meeting by ordinary resolution of
shareholders, the Advance Notice By-law will terminate and be of no
further force and effect following the termination of the
shareholders meeting.
