Blackline Safety Corp. (TSX.V: BLN), a global leader of gas
detection and cloud-connected safety solutions, has been recognized
by Fast Company in the 2020 Innovation by Design Awards for its
Industrial Contact Tracing solutions released earlier this year.
This new capability enables Blackline’s portfolio of G7 connected
safety and gas detection solutions to help businesses identify
locations where workers regularly come into close contact and
compile a list of Blackline device users that an individual may
have interacted with. Blackline’s Industrial Contact Tracing
solutions were acknowledged in the Data Design category based on
interactive data-driven analytics reports that helps investigators
trace potential points of contact and where they occurred through a
series of data visualizations.
“We need innovative design more than ever, and the 2020 honorees
have brought creativity, inventiveness, and humanity to address
some of the world’s most pressing problems, including the global
pandemic, racial injustice, and economic inequality. Together these
entries offer a glimpse into a future that is more inclusive, more
accessible, and more just,” said Stephanie Mehta, editor-in-chief
of Fast Company.
“As we face new and unforeseen challenges, including COVID-19,
it becomes critical to leverage all of the data at our disposal to
keep workers protected, and support the production and delivery of
essential goods and services,” said Cody Slater, CEO and Chairman
at Blackline Safety. “Together, connected technology and data
empowers decision-making and improves worker safety — this is the
future of the industrial workforce. To be recognized by Fast
Company in the 2020 Innovation by Design Awards is a testament to
the innovation and dedication our people bring to work each day to
fulfill our purpose of ensuring that every worker remains healthy
at work and returns home safely.”
During the ongoing COVID-19 global pandemic, Blackline Safety is
helping companies to create a flexible contact tracing program and
ensure a safe environment for all employees returning to work.
Blackline’s Industrial Contact Tracing solutions leverage data
streamed by location-enabled G7 safety wearables and compiles this
data into a series of reports that are available to clients through
its cloud-based Blackline Analytics portal. This data drives
interactive contact tracing reports that can immediately retrace
workers’ steps to see who he or she may have had contact with
should they present with symptoms or test positive for COVID-19.
These solutions fill the contact-tracing gap left by smartphones
and mobile apps that lack intrinsic safety certification and cannot
be deployed for hazardous or industrial applications.
Fast Company’s Innovation by Design Awards, now in its ninth
year, recognizes people, teams and companies working to solve the
problems of today and tomorrow through innovative design. Honorees
are determined by a panel of renowned designers from a variety of
disciplines, business leaders from around the world and Fast
Company’s own writers and editors. Blackline Safety’s Industrial
Contact Tracing solutions will be featured online and in the
October / November issue of Fast Company’s print magazine,
available on newsstands October 20.
In addition to receiving recognition from Fast Company,
Blackline’s Industrial Contact Tracing solutions were recently
recognized by Occupation Health & Safety
(OH&S) Magazine in the 2020 New Product of The Year
awards. To learn more about these solutions, visit
