Whether it's heat in summer, slippery ice in winter, working alone in the Aras... Safe is safe!

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-oriented administration that provides high-quality services to its citizens every day. With around 50 dedicated employees who even perform supra-regional functions in areas such as secondary school or swimming pools, safety and care are at the top of the agenda.

But it is not always possible to plan work in Grosshöchstetten — the changing seasons in particular challenge employees. While high temperatures dominate in summer, winter days often bring slippery roads and other challenges. Many tasks are also carried out alone and throughout the municipality. Grosshöchstetten uses cutting-edge digital solutions here — and has found a reliable partner with the Uepaa Safety App.

Security at the push 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 available in critical moments — even if the person concerned is no longer able to trigger an alarm themselves.

‍

What makes the Uepaa Safety app so special?

• 🛡️ Dead man function according to SUVA-44094: The app registers when a person becomes unconscious or is no longer able to act and automatically sets off an alarm.
• 🚑 1st Responder: The integrated camera assistance alarm immediately informs the nearest colleagues who can provide quick assistance.
• 🇨🇭 SWISS LABEL: Developed and manufactured in Switzerland — a seal of approval for quality and reliability.
• 📱 Bring Your Own Device: Regardless of 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 the contract to implement this modern solution together. We wish employees not only happy holidays, but above all safe holidays — regardless of whether they work alone or in a team.

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