Protecting lone workers – with Dan Woodward, Northumbrian Water and Julian Jarvis, Blackline Safety

Dan Woodward, Process Safety Business Partner, Northumbrian Water Group (NWG), and Julian Jarvis, Zone Manager – UK, ROI & Scandinavia, Blackline Safety, discuss their partnership focused on uncovering safety hazards and protecting lone workers at two of its water treatment sites.

NWG’s decision to turn to Blackline was spurred by the risks inherent in its operations, including exposure to gases, hazardous or contaminated water, explosions from hot work or combustible gas, confined space entry and lone work.

The technology supplied by Blackline includes its cloud-connected G7c personal gas wearable and EXO area monitor, enabling NWG to consolidate gas detection, communication and lone worker connectivity into a single device.
