In today’s industrial workplace where staying ahead of safety risks is paramount to keeping workers safe on the job, connected safety technology is no longer a nice-to-have solution. The more wearable technology becomes commonplace, from using a watch to monitor your heart rate to tracking your next Uber ride on your smartphone, the more using Internet-of-Things (IoT) safety-based devices is considered a must-have on the job.
That’s why Blackline Safety, a global leader in connected safety technology, offers an equipment trade-in program designed to make it easier to acquire the cutting-edge safety equipment and software they need to keep employees safe.
“Surprisingly, many organizations are still using outdated equipment,” said Sean Stinson, Chief Growth Officer, noting that budget restraints and concerns over change management often stand in the way of upgrades. “With the International Labour Organization reporting 340 million occupational incidents and 160 million victims of work-related illnesses annually, it’s time to do better.”
The Blackline Safety Refresh program allows companies in all sectors – from oil and gas, water treatment and emergency response, to municipalities, utilities, manufacturing and mining – to trade in older gas detection wearables that are either end-of-life or no longer working. In exchange, they receive a credit towards the purchase of next-generation Blackline Safety‘s G7 connected personal gas detectors .
Trade-in makes it easier to reap the benefits of connected safety
“We’re taking old equipment off the hands of industrial workplaces and giving them an affordable way to upgrade to a replacement that is leading edge,” said Stinson.
The opportunity to upgrade means organizations can access expanded features, such as informed safety monitoring, lower cost of ownership and fewer false alarms. More importantly, they gain real-time visibility into the trusted data they need to more effectively manage their safety protocols and processes.
