CCI Welcomes Blackline Safety to Our National Network of Innovators

The Council of Canadian Innovators is proud to welcome Blackline Safety and CEO Cody Slater as the newest member of our national network of high-growth technology companies.

Headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, Blackline Safety is making industrial workplaces safer with smart, connected devices. From personal and area gas monitors to cloud-connected software and analytics, their tools help companies prevent incidents, respond faster, and protect workers in high-risk environments. Today, Blackline supports tens of thousands of workers in more than 75 countries.

CEO Cody Slater has a long track record of building global safety solutions from the ground up. After founding BW Technologies in 1986 and growing it into a worldwide leader in gas detection, he launched Blackline to bring real-time safety monitoring into the digital age.

“Blackline Safety is proving that Canadian innovation saves lives,” said CCI President Benjamin Bergen. “Their leadership in the industrial space is helping protect workers, strengthen industries, and drive safer performance on job sites across the world.”

Since 2015, the Council of Canadian Innovators has been the business voice for high-growth technology companies, working closely with government leaders to develop policies that strengthen Canada’s innovation economy.
