Announced in January as the most connected safety wearable ever made, the new G8 combines advanced multi-gas detection, lone worker protection, two-way radio communication, and real-time monitoring in a single rugged device, eliminating the need for multiple tools and redefining what industrial organizations can expect from wearable safety technology.<\/p>\n

\u201cIndustrial companies around the globe have determined their future is a connected workforce,\u201d said Cody Slater<\/a>, CEO and Chair, Blackline Safety. \u201cBlackline has been leading the charge to provide them with the technology and tools to make this a reality.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo date, we\u2019ve connected workers in over 3,000 organizations worldwide with the G7 safety wearable. And now, the G8 represents the next leap forward in taking \u2018connected worker\u2019 beyond safety \u2014 offering one powerful, feature-dense wearable that improves both safety and productivity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Built on Blackline\u2019s connected safety platform, G8 provides live visibility into worker status, gas exposure, and site activity. The result is faster emergency response, stronger compliance, and better coordination across field and monitoring teams to improve both safety outcomes and operational efficiency.<\/p>\n

The G8\u2019s key strengths<\/a> include enhanced communication \u2014 with improved audio and a dedicated PTT interface \u2014 plus, a rugged design with a high-visibility full-color display and innovations such as NFC-based TagAssign\u2122 and ZoneAware\u2122 geofencing.<\/p>\n

Customers clearly understand the value the G8 brings when looking to connect their workforce beyond safety. One example is Vida Bioenergy in the UK. With a new anaerobic digestion facility nearing completion, the company evaluated the market for personal gas detection solutions and selected G8.<\/p>\n

\u201cI needed a compact, reliable, and multifunctional device for our operations and maintenance teams,\u201d said Gary Cartwright, Plant Manager at Vida Bioenergy. \u201cThe G8 was perfect \u2014 not only providing gas detection but also built-in lone working and radio communication. Many critical HSE aspects were combined in one lightweight device.\u201d<\/p>\n

Distributors and channel partners also understand the value to their customers. Channel partner Work Secure, based in Italy, was among the first to get hands-on experience with G8, and immediately added it to their catalog.<\/p>\n

\u201cG8 is the device we had always imagined but that no one had built until now,\u201d said Enrico Barbarella, CEO and Founder, Work Secure. \u201cOur first impression is extremely positive. The device represents a concrete evolution in the world of connected safety wearables.\u201d<\/p>\n

Devices are now certified and shipping in the U.S., Canada, E.U., U.K., Australia, and New Zealand, with certifications for other regions underway. With this release, Blackline is fulfilling strong demand for connected safety across industrial organizations globally, building on a platform already trusted by thousands of customers in more than 75 countries.<\/p>\n
