Investment of over $1M to expand global gas monitoring of rental program

Blackline Safety have announced a $1 million investment in the expansion of its product rental program because of a high level of demand from customers worldwide for dependable solutions to cater for their wide variety of safety project needs. Blackline Safety’s rental business opened last spring and they anticipate considerable growth in 2022.

According to Sean Stinson, Blackline Safety’s Chief Revenue Officer, “Whether the driving factor is a turnaround, special project, outage or repair replacement, our customers have told us they are looking for a fast and flexible solution to keep workers and contractors safe. We are pleased to offer rentals as the most efficient way for customers to quickly obtain our personal protection wearables and area gas monitoring equipment to protect their people on site or in the field, or to try before they buy.”

In preparation for the expansion, Blackline Safety invested in approximately 1,500 pieces of equipment, which includes its fleet of cloud-enabled G7 wearable safety devices, EXO portable area gas monitors, docks, cartridges and accessories for rental. Blackline has the flexibility and capability to increase production according to demand because all on their products are manufactured in-house. 

Rentals in North America are dispatched from Blackline Safety’s distribution network or via their Safety’s Calgary and Houston facilities. Work on supporting international rentals is in full swing starting with distributors in the United Arab Emirates, with a view to establishing a Dubai facility to facilitate rentals. Order fulfilment is typically same-day, and with Blackline Safety’s drop-and-go deployment and direct to cloud capabilities, the equipment can be operational by the next day.
