Blackline Safety Corp., a global leader in connected safety technology, has announced G8, the next evolution of worksite safety and the most connected wearable the company has ever built. 

Designed from the ground up as a true platform, G8 combines advanced gas detection, lone worker protection, and radio-quality communication in one rugged device that connects workers to each other, to their safety teams, and to the broader digital worksite — with real-time data streamed to the cloud to keep safety and operations leaders informed.

“G8 gives workers access to the tools and information they need to confidently get the job done and get home safe,” said Cody Slater, CEO and Chair, Blackline Safety. “By unifying gas detection, real-time monitoring, and communication in one connected device, we’re delivering more than incremental improvement. We’re giving every worker a direct line to the people, data, systems and support they need to make faster, safer decisions.”

G8 builds on the proven foundation of Blackline’s G7 line, while introducing breakthrough capabilities that set a new standard for connected safety and productivity.

At its core, G8 is a fully featured, connected gas detector with a rugged, IP-67 rating that’s built to meet the most demanding industrial environments. 

But G8 also goes further, consolidating several critical tools into one intrinsically safe device, so workers no longer need to carry and manage multiple devices. Plus, real-time cloud connectivity so teams get the field data they need to respond faster and keep operations running smoothly. 

Every G8 streams live data to Blackline’s data and analytics platform—Blackline Live—via the cloud. This gives safety leaders real-time visibility into worker status, gas readings, and site conditions, and it gives operations teams actionable insights to prevent incidents, reduce delays, and keep projects moving.

Unlike traditional gas detectors, G8 functions as a connected platform that’s built to be able to integrate with the rest of the digital worksite. It’s future-ready to plug into other digital platforms that organizations use today, from human resource management systems (HRMS) to field service management tools to hot-permitting applications and more, helping eliminate manual workflows and remove barriers to getting work done.

And because G8 receives automatic firmware updates, it will continue to evolve with new capabilities, expanded integrations, and emerging technologies like AI-driven insights.

“We’re talking about a platform built to grow with you,” said Phil Benson, VP, Product, Blackline Safety. “As worksites become more connected, automated and data-driven, G8 has the flexibility to meet tomorrow’s needs, not just today’s. It lays the foundation for future capabilities like AI integrations, expanded calling features, and predictive analytics that will continue to raise the bar for connected work for years to come.”
