Case Study: Gulf Coast Water Authority boosts lone worker safety with Blackline Safety

Gulf Coast Water Authority boosts lone worker safety with Blackline Safety across 300 miles of canals

The Gulf Coast Water Authority (GCWA) faced a significant challenge in protecting its lone workers who maintain 300 miles of remote canals in rural Texas. Following a serious incident where an operator fell and was unable to call for help, GCWA's unreliable check-in process and poor cell service created dangerous safety gaps. They turned to Blackline Safety for a solution.

GCWA implemented Blackline Safety's G7 Lone Worker devices, which provided reliable connectivity, automated check-ins, and live location mapping. The solution delivered real-time visibility of worker status, ensured 100% compliance for check-ins when working alone, and significantly boosted employee and management confidence in their safety program, preventing further incidents.
