Calgary, AB — Blackline Safety Corp. (TSX Venture: BLN), a leading manufacturer of gas detection and connected safety solutions, announced its best quarter ever.

Mr. Slater said, “G7 products and services have defined the new benchmark for industry, delivering turn-key connectivity, plug-and-play modular design and a deep suite of capabilities.
