Wearable single gas detection technology scoops prestigious awards

Blackline Safety Corp. has announced that its G6 single-gas detector has received recognition for innovative product design from Red Dot and outstanding product development in industrial hygiene from Occupational Health & Safety (OH&S).

Blackline Safety's collaboration with design partner Advanta Design resulted in the user-centred approach that earned the Red Dot award. Phil Benson, Blackline Safety's Vice President of Product Design & Data Analytics, remarked that the company kept HSE workers in mind throughout the G6's design process.

The Red Dot Award, based in Germany, is a globally recognized symbol of product design excellence. Blackline Safety's G7 product won a Red Dot Award in 2017, and this year, the company's G6 received an OH&S award in the Gas and Vapour Monitoring category.

The G6, which debuted in late 2022, is a fully connected and intuitive connected single-gas detector that leverages instant cloud connectivity and integrated location technology to help organizations respond quickly to incidents. Blackline Safety CEO and Chair Cody Slater noted that G6 provides unprecedented levels of connectivity to industrial workplaces, reduces the risk of injury, and brings proactive safety management to a new level.

The G6 also provides extended benefits such as a full-year battery life, lower total cost of ownership, and fewer false alarms. It gives safety professionals access to the trusted data they need to manage their safety protocols, processes, and ongoing compliance more effectively and efficiently.

"We are honoured that G6 is receiving international attention for product design and innovation," said Slater. "Our game-changing technology is revolutionizing an industry that hasn't changed in decades-and we continue to innovate and improve as part of our vision to transform the industrial workplace through technology."
