BLACKLINE RELEASES NEW ALERTLINK FEATURE TO IMPROVE SAFETY, ENHANCE EMERGENCY RESPONSE

Blackline Safety Corp. has released the new AlertLink feature for its award-winning Exo and G7 devices.

AlertLink proximity-based warning alerts increase employee safety through advance warning of potentially dangerous conditions, expediting evacuations and incident response. The company developed the feature after receiving feedback through its customer advisory panel that proximity-based warnings will enhance industrial safety.

Blackline safety channel partners are already seeing the benefits of the new feature.

"We were excited to implement the AlertLink upgrade into our gas detection suite from Blackline, and it has impressed us. AlertLink has significantly improved the notification process for on-site personnel during high gas events, resulting in faster response times," said Shawn Todd, American Safety Services general manager.

AlertLink enables a Blackline device to share real-time alerts with nearby workers. When a device detects an event, such as high gas, gas sensor overlimit, a fall, no motion or emergency SOS, it will immediately send a message to all devices within the defined radius -- up to 5,000 metres (16,000 feet) from the source device.

The alert is also received by monitoring personnel, allowing companies to remotely trigger evacuations and provide exact location and situation details to emergency responders so they know what they are walking into.

A major U.S. energy company headquartered in the Permian basin provided feedback early in the development of AlertLink. "We have a number of well sites monitored by Exo devices, and having any incidents immediately communicated to nearby workers means we can address issues such as falls and gas exposures faster, while also keeping our people safer than ever before," said a company representative. "We know this tool will be incredibly valuable for our teams, and we're pleased Blackline invited our feedback."

AlertLink is available for any Blackline G7 and Exo devices on monitored and self-monitored plans. Unlike competitor products, Blackline's cloud-based system means G7 and Exo devices will automatically receive the AlertLink firmware update with no action required from the device user. Customers will simply need to log into Blackline Live, the company's cloud-based software platform, and set up their AlertLink profile to start using the new feature.

Designed with quick, drop-and-go deployment, and built-in cellular and satellite connectivity, the Exo area monitor provides real-time data and sounds alarms both on the device itself and in Blackline's monitoring software when it detects gas -- protecting both people and the environment from hazardous situations. The wearable G7 -- with features such as multigas detection, SOS latch, fall and no motion detection, two-way voice, and real-time connectivity -- provides a critical lifeline in case of emergency.
