Blackline G8 Lone Worker

WEARABLE MAN-DOWN DEVICE

G8 Lone Worker is the most connected safety wearable ever made—ensuring no team member is ever truly alone and helping you build a strong safety culture that moves beyond compliance.

Motor vehicle accidents, falls, remoteness, assaults, health events—these hazards can happen on the job.

But for workers who operate out of sight and sound of others, the likelihood and severity of these risks mount.

G8 Lone Worker changes all that.

Built for real-world conditions, G8 pairs rugged reliability with real-time monitoring, instant alerts, and seamless communication that protects workers and improves productivity in one intrinsically safe, connected platform.
