Beverly Hills, CA…. The Blaine Group has been retained to support the Global BioNetwork’s (GBN) participation in the National Safety Conference at the Anaheim Convention Center, September 22-24.

GBN will demonstrate its Man-Down System which monitors a worker’s vital signs wirelessly while in hazardous environments.

This proprietary safety technology is the only technical solution to OSHA’s requirement that all employees who work in hazardous environments be continuously monitored.  It allows such vital sign monitoring wirelessly from anywhere in the world to anywhere in the world.  Without the Man-Down System, to be in compliance, companies must hire people whose sole responsibility is to monitor other workers.

“For companies that have workers in hazardous environments, GBN provides a cost-effective safety solution that saves lives,” noted Devon Blaine, President and CEO of The Blaine Group.  “We are thrilled to have the opportunity to work with a company with technology as essential as that which GBN offers.”

Man-Down System is a combination of Reflective Pulse Oximetry (RPO) technology and a proprietary web-based software system for monitoring Man-Down biosensors without installing software or hardware at end user facilities through GBN.  The stand alone system is comprised of helmet biosensors, transmitters, and an Intelligent Network Node (INN) which links the transmitters to GBN’s servers.  Security monitoring companies log into GBN’s servers, view real-time streaming data and optional web cam videos of their workers wearing the biosensors.

Beverly Hills, CA… Magic.  Romance.  Action.  Adventure.  These elements have been the cornerstones of our most beloved epic stories.  Now, a gripping new novel and stage play weave these together to create an enchanting and powerful legend which The Blaine Group has been signed to represent.

Lonnie L. Henderson’s Neva~eh: Prince of Black Angels (Big Time Studios, LLC, $21.99, paperback) is a fantasy thriller that takes place in a time before Earth.  In this beautiful world a majestic kingdom is torn between heaven and hell.  Wonderfully mystical characters, like King Sabtah and Queen Divinity, embark on a grand journey that will test their strength as well as their love.  And like the breathtaking scenery, the story’s lush language captures the reader whole and does not let go.
