Energy producer Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) has taken a step towards enhancing worker safety by placing its first order for connected safety technology from Blackline Safety.
This order is part of a larger multi-year agreement that could see up to 28,000 Blackline devices, along with services, deployed within ADNOC facilities.
The initial purchase encompasses around 1,000 G6 wearable single-gas detectors, serviceable for four years, and 1,200 Blackline Location Beacons, which are designed to improve location signals indoors.
ADNOC produces more than four million barrels of oil per day and substantial volumes of natural gas.
Blackline Safety international sales interim vice-president and growth operations vice-president Andrea Lamond said: “This first order under the new agreement with ADNOC is an important milestone in our multi-year growth strategy in the Middle East.
“Through our partnership with ADNOC and Al Masaood, we are investing in the region and delivering advanced connected worker technology that helps protect workers while improving operational efficiency.”
Blackline’s connected safety ecosystem integrates wearable technology, cloud-hosted software and round-the-clock live monitoring to protect workers.
The G6 device is known for its single-gas detection capability, long-lasting connectivity and comprehensive safety features.
It provides hazardous gas detection and real-time location data, which is crucial for quick emergency response.
Blackline Location Beacons complement this by improving location accuracy in areas where GPS may be unreliable.
Over the past three years, Blackline Safety’s presence in the Middle East has expanded, with its connected safety solutions being adopted by energy companies in the region.
