The EXO 8 with gamma detection is a next-generation connected area monitor that advances gas detection and early hazard identification for companies and emergency responders, providing organizations and communities with unprecedented protection.
These honors bring EXO 8’s total award count to seven so far in 2025, including the internationally renowned Red Dot Design Award, the Preventica Paris Innovation Award and three OH&S Industrial Hygiene Awards. Together, they reinforce EXO 8’s status as one of the most recognized new safety innovations in the industry.
“EXO 8 continues to set the bar for innovation in area monitoring,” said Cody Slater, CEO and Chair, Blackline Safety. “Being recognized across multiple award programs underscores the monitor’s real-world impact and validates our mission to ensure that every worker gets home safely, no matter what hazards they face.”
The OH&S New Product of the Year Awards, now in their 15th year, celebrate the most impactful innovations in workplace safety. The program highlights manufacturers whose products demonstrate exceptional advancements in design and functionality, with a proven ability to enhance worker protection and overall safety outcomes.
"EXO 8 with gamma detection has an even wider application beyond industrial use,” said Chris Johnson, Deputy Chief for the Westchester County Department of Emergency Services in New York State. “It allows hazmat teams to use the device for public safety as part of event protection. It will also keep our people more protected because we can detect more gases."
EXO 8 has already been deployed at a high-profile awards show and during the large public gathering for a renowned religious leader, and security teams for global sporting events are exploring it as a solution.
“With seven major awards and growing interest and adoption, EXO 8 is cementing its leadership in the advancement of worker and public safety," said Cody Slater.
