                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Community is at the heart of everything we do at Blast Guru and with growing concerns about the COVID-19 pandemic, we want you to know that the health and safety of the Blast Guru community, including our team, is our top priority. Our operations are running strong to support everyone on the Blast Guru platform, with many of our employees now working from home.</p>
<p>As we monitor this evolving situation, we want to share an update on some of the ways we are protecting the Blast Guru community.</p>
<p><strong>Listening to the Experts:</strong> We are closely monitoring the guidance from local and federal authorities, the Centers for Disease Control (<a href="https://www.cdc.gov/" target="true">CDC</a>) and Prevention and the World Health Organization (<a href="https://www.who.int/" target="true">WHO</a>) to safeguard our employees and community. We encourage you to do the same and stay informed.</p>
<p><strong>Supporting You:</strong> We work hard every day to keep our operations running smoothly for you and to ensure we will not let you down. We’ll use our <a href="https://blastguru.com/community/" target="true">BLOG</a> to share key updates with you throughout this time and we’ll continue to keep blastguru.com front and center as we think about ways to make your experience as safe and sustainable as possible.</p>
<p><strong>Continuing to Foster Connections:</strong> Human connection is essential to daily life. Every like and share on blastguru.com is an act of support and encouragement, and a small way to show compassion for each other. For the safety of our community, we have postponed all in-person events. We know how important it is for Blast Guru partners to gather, so we’re working to create virtual events to help foster this connection. More details will be communicated soon. If you’re interested in hosting or attending a virtual event, please contact us at blastguru.com.</p>
<p>There is nothing more powerful and resilient than our amazing community—we want to thank you for showing your love and being a part of Blast Guru. Stay well.</p>]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you someone tasked with the responsibility of maintaining a blast machine? Wouldn't it be great to be able to use your mobile phone to enter the current condition of each of the key components of that machine...  rating each with a zero (shut this machine down, hazard to workers) to four (needs attention in the regular cycle)? To be able to add photos to your report from right within the app? To be able to generate a spare parts list from the entries made during your inspection? Wouldn't it be great if the app would then keep up with life predictability trends based on the time elapsed since that part was last replaced?</p>
<p>These are just two of the tools within the Blast App Suite called Mechanical Inspection and Maintenance Tracker. Schedule a call with us using the contact page and we can walk you through a demonstration of exactly how it works and how easy it is to use. </p>]]></content:encoded>
