Blackline signs $2m deal with Severn Water

Blackline Safety Corp has announced a $2 million (£1.3 million) deal with Coventry, England-based Severn Trent Water — the United Kingdom’s second largest water company — for connected personal gas detection devices to protect its employees and support its digital transformation.

With this new deal, Blackline Safety will protect more than 10,000 workers across six of the 12 U.K. water and wastewater authorities that now use Blackline’s industry-leading technology.

Earlier this month, Severn Trent began the deployment of the first 1,650 Blackline G7c wearable devices. Over the coming months, the water authority will replace their existing gas detection units with more than 2,600 Blackline Safety G7c wearable devices and associated services.

Blackline’s G7 lone worker and personal gas detection devices are intelligent connected wearables that detect gas hazards, instantly notify both workers and managers in real time, and enable contact tracing as well as corrective action to be taken to mitigate future incidents. The devices are supported by Blackline’s 24/7 live monitoring service, which provides automated safety incident and health event monitoring, including features such as no-motion and fall detection, and missed check-ins.

The three-year investment, secured via Blackline Verwood, U.K.-based distribution partner Breathe Safety, includes an option to extend for an additional five years of service, which would bring the total value to more than $4.2 million (£2.7 million). Breathe Safety is leading the implementation and device rollout with Severn Trent.
