DENVER, CO / ACCESSWIRE / June 22, 2022 / SOBR Safe, Inc. (Nasdaq:SOBR) (SOBRsafe™ or the Company), providers of fast, accurate and hygienic solutions for alcohol safety management, today announced that it has signed a master service agreement (MSA) with Michigan-based BGM Electronic Services, Inc.

BGM is a leader in the area of product realization, taking customers from concept to full scale production. BGM has been a long-standing provider for the likes of Ford, GM and Stellantis (Chrysler-Fiat); the firm received the 2021 General Motors Vendor Excellence Award.

"We believe that SOBRsafe could provide far-ranging benefits to communities across America and around the world, and we are thrilled to be part of the effort," stated BGM President Terry Bishop.

About SOBRsafe™ The annual cost of alcohol abuse in the U.S. is $249 billion. Nearly half of all industrial accidents with injuries are alcohol-related, and 1-in-10 U.S. commercial drivers test positive for alcohol (the highest rate worldwide). In response, SOBRsafe™ has developed a proprietary, touch-based identity verification, alcohol detection and cloud-based reporting system. The technology is transferable across innumerable form factors, including stationary access control, personal wearables and for telematics integration. A preventative solution in a historically reactive industry, it is being deployed for commercial fleets and workplaces; other intended applications include managed care and young drivers. This patent-pending alcohol detection solution helps prevent an intoxicated worker from taking the factory floor or a driver from receiving the keys to a truck, bus or heavy machinery. An offender is immediately flagged, and the employer (or parent, rehab sponsor, etc.) is empowered to take the appropriate corrective actions. At SOBRsafe, we are creating a culture of prevention.
