Safety Monitoring Company Establishes International Offi ce and Appoints Managing Director
Blackline GPS Corp (Canada), a leader in work alone employee safety monitoring with one of the most complete product portfolios, has created a new, wholly-owned subsidiary – Blackline GPS Europe Ltd. Located in Colchester, Essex, United Kingdom, Blackline GPS Europe is ideally positioned to target the key European, Middle Eastern, and African markets (EMEA). The European market alone is estimated to grow to 650,000 lone worker devices by 2018 according to Berg Insight – a leading research group whose focus areas are Wireless M2M, Location-Based Services, Mobile Value-Added Services, and Next Generation Technologies. Blackline’s move to open this new, international offi ce aims to capitalise upon
anticipated market growth, concentrating on delivering high quality local sales and customer support within the EMEA territory.
“Establishing our fi rst international offi ce in the UK and Europe marks a signifi cant milestone for the company,” says Cody Slater, CEO and Chairman of Blackline GPS. “Opening May 1st of this year, our new location will enable Blackline to better serve companies in this region that hold employees and their safety as a top priority.”
Gavin Boorman has been appointed Managing Director of Blackline GPS Europe and was formerly the European Managing Director for BW Technologies, a leading manufacturer of gas detection instrumentation made in Calgary, distributed globally, and created by much the same team now behind Blackline GPS. Mr. Boorman brings more than 25 years of experience in the safety industry to this role and has previous experience with distribution of Blackline’s employee safety monitoring solutions in the EMEA marketplace.
“We have seen signifi cant interest in the Blackline offering throughout EMEA, and already have a number of major projects in the pipeline,” said Gavin Boorman, Managing Director of Blackline GPS Europe.
“Blackline’s unique technology offering, together with a strong regulatory environment within EMEA, and increasing awareness of the need to protect lone workers suggest that the time is right to create the local offi ce, and realize the opportunity.” Blackline’s Loner family of employee safety monitoring products communicates via cellular networks with operation in over 80 countries. The company’s upcoming Loner 900 System will provide safety monitoring capability for remote locations beyond the reach of traditional cellular networks for use in the Americas, Europe, Africa and much of the Middle East. Loner safety monitoring solutions are person-worn devices that alert their employer and monitoring personnel of potential risks to the health and safety of employees including injuries and health incidents. The goal of Loner products is to enable employers to improve an employee’s outcome through delivery of an effi cient emergency response to the individual’s precise location, saving valuable response time.

TC7000 intrinsically safe thermal imaging camera from CorDEX Instruments (UK) leads the fi eld in hazardous area thermal imaging. ATEX and IECEx certifi ed for potentially explosive mining, gas and dust environments, this high resolution go-anywhere thermal imager can measure temperatures from -20oC to oC (-4o
F to 1112o F) with accuracy ±2or2%.
Traditional infrared thermal imaging camera required costly, time consuming hot work permits to enter hazardous areas. TC7000 ATEX/IECEx certifi ed thermal imaging camera is certifi ed to the highest standards of safety reducing the overall cost of ownership by expanding the areas infrared inspections can move into and reduce the cost by removing the need for hot work permits.
Incorporating an on board RFID scanner to enable users to tag infrared images to an RFID tag location, TC7000 is truly an intelligent thermal imager. Automatically collate images and then create reports using
the powerful yet simple to use CorDEX CONNECT database package, included with every imager.

Pulsar Instruments (UK) plc announced today that it is celebrating its 45th anniversary. Since its inception as an engineer-led concern in Silicon Valley, USA in 1969, Pulsar Instruments has seen extraordinary growth, becoming of the success stories in the fi eld of occupational noise monitoring. It was the fi rst company to display the sound level on the scale of a sound level meter and the permitted sound exposure which, at the time, was revolutionary. It also pioneered the use of integrated circuitry in place of transistors. Based permanently in Yorkshire, the company now sells its products to more than 45 countries and has forged relationships with some of the biggest brands in the industrial, entertainment, transport and construction industries.
‘Our innovative technology and strong desire to expand our business globally have certainly been key factors, but the real foundation of our success lies in the long-term relationships we have established with Health and Safety professionals, Safety Consultants and Company owners’, said Sarah Brack, Managing Director for Pulsar Instruments plc. ‘We have always existed not only as a vendor of noise measurement products but as a company with a strong commitment towards continuous research and development to benefi t the industries we serve. In our fi rst 45 years, we have evolved with our customers and their markets, delivering noise measurement solutions that help employers comply with UK and International Noise at Work Regulations.’
‘It’s great to look back and see how far Pulsar Instruments has come from our early days’, added Sarah Brack. ‘We have introduced many new products in the last 45 years from the very basic to the highly innovative. They have all contributed to a change in the way noise at work is being monitored, helping protect worker’s hearing and improving the quality of their environment.
From the start, we have always worked closely with customers and listened to their needs. And, to this day, we have remained faithful to our original commitment to them which was to produce easy to use, durable and reliable instrumentation’.
The company is expected to increase its portfolio of noise measurement products in coming years in order to meet its growth objectives.
