Whether heat in summer, icy roads in winter, or working alone in the ARAs... Better safe than sorry!

Grosshöchstetten, idyllically situated in the canton of Bern, marks the intersection between the Bern-Lucerne and Thun-Burgdorf axes. The municipality stands not only for its scenic beauty, but also for a citizen-oriented, modern and customer-focused administration that provides high-quality services for its citizens on a daily basis. With around 50 dedicated employees, who even fulfill supra-regional functions in areas such as the secondary school or the swimming pool, safety and care are right at the top of the agenda.

However, work in Grosshöchstetten cannot always be planned - the changing seasons are particularly challenging for employees. While high temperatures dominate in summer, winter days often bring slippery roads and other challenges. Many tasks are also carried out alone and across the entire municipal area. This is where Grosshöchstetten relies on state-of-the-art digital solutions - and has found a reliable partner in the Uepaa Safety App.

Security at the touch of a button - and beyond

Since December, the first teams have been benefiting from the Uepaa Safety App, which not only meets the latest safety standards, but is also on hand at critical moments - even if the person concerned can no longer raise the alarm themselves.

‍

What makes the Uepaa Safety app so special?

• 🛡️ Dead man's function in accordance with SUVA-44094: The app registers when a person becomes unconscious or is no longer able to act and automatically triggers an alarm.
• 🚑 1st Responder: The integrated companion assistance alarm immediately informs the nearest colleagues who can provide rapid assistance.
• 🇨🇭 SWISS LABEL: Developed and manufactured in Switzerland - a seal of quality and reliability.
• 📱 Bring Your Own Device: Whether Android or iOS, the app works on almost all mobile devices.

A safe start to the new year

We would like to thank the municipality of Grosshöchstetten for the trust they have placed in us and for awarding us the contract to implement this modern solution together. We wish our employees not only happy but above all safe holidays - regardless of whether they work alone or as part of a team.

With this step, Grosshöchstetten is sending out a clear signal: Modern technologies are not only drivers of innovation, but also pioneers for a safe and future-oriented working environment.
