Blackline Safety Corp. has launched Blackline Collective, a program focused on building a network of safety-minded organizations. Blackline Collective bridges industrial borders, connecting peers committed to fostering a culture of workplace safety and operational excellence, giving their teams the confidence they need to get the job done efficiently and return home safe.
“We created Blackline Collective because safety should not be a competitive advantage,” said Cody Slater, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer for Blackline Safety. “We serve hundreds of customers with tens of thousands of employees, across a broad variety of industries. Each of them has critical experiences and insights that other organizations can listen to, learn from and implement to improve their safety programs and worksite productivity. Blackline Collective is a community where these leaders can come together to share and collaborate in order to raise awareness of our common goal — protecting and saving lives.
“No matter what your trials are or where you are in the world, there’s a place for you in Blackline Collective,” continued Slater. “To join, all we ask is that you share — your successes, your challenges and your lessons learned. Because when it comes to safety, we can’t afford to keep these experiences and insights to ourselves.”
At the launch of the Blackline Collective last week, Dr. David Michaels, former and longest-serving Assistant Secretary of Labor for the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), led a discussion on the relationship between safety and operational excellence, highlighting how safe organizations inherently operate at a higher performance level. As an epidemiologist and professor at George Washington University, he also spoke about COVID-19 in the workplace — a key example of the insight and idea sharing that Blackline Collective makes possible.
Blackline Safety provides wearable safety technology, personal and area gas monitoring, cloud-connected software, and data analytics to meet safety challenges and increase productivity of organizations in more than 100 countries.
