Enhanced safety for the municipal yard, water, and wastewater at the Municipality of Neckertal

The Municipality of Neckertal and its employees work daily to ensure that central infrastructures function reliably. Whether in the municipal yard, for water supply, or wastewater treatment – many of these tasks take place outside direct sight and shouting distance.

Inspection rounds through the wastewater treatment plant, work on water facilities, maintenance in the municipal area, or operations in the municipal yard are all part of the daily routine. Employees are often working alone.

Infrastructure for the population – work behind the scenes

The teams' tasks are diverse:

• Operation and maintenance of the municipal yard
• Inspection and maintenance of the water supply
• Work on reservoirs and pipeline networks
• Inspection rounds in wastewater treatment
• Troubleshooting and emergency call-outs
• Maintenance work throughout the entire municipal area

Especially in rural Neckertal, distances are often long. Technical facilities are located at various sites, and operations sometimes take place outside regular working hours.

This entails a special responsibility for the safety of employees.

Ensuring safety for lone workers

To further enhance employee protection, the Municipality of Neckertal is now relying on the Uepaa App for securing lone work.

The solution supports employees where traditional sight and shouting distance are no longer sufficient:

• Digital man-down function according to Suva 44094
• Emergency alerts
• Direct peer assistance
• Available on iPhone and Android
• Easy to use throughout the entire municipal area

This allows for a quick response in an emergency – regardless of whether someone is at the municipal yard, a reservoir, or on an inspection tour at the wastewater treatment plant.

Safety for those who keep our infrastructure running

Clean drinking water, functioning wastewater systems, and reliable municipal yard operations are often taken for granted. However, behind them are dedicated employees who take responsibility daily and perform important work behind the scenes.

We thank the municipality of Neckertal for their trust and wish the entire team safe and accident-free work at all times.
