Alone, but never without a connection - Valsot protects its employees with a smart app

The finest mountain cheese, beer with a strong character and ancient forests: At first glance, the municipality of Valsot in the Engadin looks like a postcard. But behind this idyllic setting, people work every day - often alone, outside, in all weathers. Forestry and infrastructure staff in particular are regularly out and about in remote areas where there is no mobile phone network.

To ensure their safety, Valsot has been using the Uepaa Safety App - the solution for digital lone worker protection - since this month.

Working alone in rough terrain - a risk

Many operations, such as maintenance work in the forest, inspection rounds at water catchments or path maintenance in winter, are carried out alone. There is an increased risk, particularly in mobile phone blackspots.

The Uepaa app - the personal emergency device

Uepaa converts the smartphone into a certified personal emergency signaling device (PNA). The app meets the requirements of SUVA (44094) and the DGUV and replaces traditional dead man's devices with smart app technology.

It automatically detects accidents, triggers an alarm if there is no response and transmits the location. Coupled with a 24/7 emergency call center and a Europe-wide first responder network, it offers maximum safety with minimum effort.

Conclusion: Working alone - done safely

Working alone in Valsot is part of everyday life - but with the Uepaa app, support is always at hand. Whether it's a check-in alarm in the event of a radio blackout, automatic emergency call cancelation in the event of a fall or precise location data: The app ensures that no one is left on their own in the terrain. It combines modern technology with the principle of tradition and safety - hand in hand.
