Safety in use:

At the municipality of Hinwil, both maintenance services and water supply are used daily to ensure reliable infrastructure and supply. Many of these works take place outside the workshop — often alone, in changing locations and sometimes under difficult conditions.

In order to increase the safety of its employees, the municipality of Hinwil uses the Uepaa lone worker app in both teams.

Two teams — similar challenges

Working alone and working irregularly is part of everyday life, both in maintenance services and in the water supply sector.

• The maintenance service is responsible, among other things, for inspection and maintenance work as well as for cleaning and spreading operations in winter. These often start in the middle of the night and take place in darkness, cold and bad weather.
• The water supply carries out maintenance and fault work on pipes, shafts, pumping stations and reservoir systems — often in remote locations and outside the factory yard.

In both areas, it is crucial that employees are protected even when they are traveling alone.

Security regardless of time and place

The Uepaa lone worker app provides both teams with a reliable safety tool for everyday work. It ensures that even with Night-time missions, with difficult weather conditions or at remote work sites can be reacted quickly in an emergency.

This creates a uniform safety standard — regardless of whether it is used for winter maintenance or in the water supply.

Easily integrated into everyday work

The app is easy to integrate into the existing processes of the municipality of Hinwil. The operation is intuitive and requires no additional administrative effort. As a result, both teams benefit from greater security without complicating processes.

conclusion

With the Uepaa lone worker app, the municipality of Hinwil is sustainably strengthening the safety of its employees both in maintenance services and in the water supply. Especially when working alone outside the factory yard, during night and winter assignments, the app offers clear added value for protecting employees.
