Solo work (also: individual workstations or briefly EAP)
Solo work occurs when activities are carried out by one person alone, outside of calling and visual range of other people. The duration of time is generally irrelevant; there can also be short-term solo work.
Dangerous Work
Dangerous work is defined as work that poses an increased or critical risk due to the work process, the nature of the activity, the materials used, and the environment. Therefore, work must be assessed for risk before it begins.

Personal Emergency Signal Systems (PNA)
Systems that provide facilities for triggering and transmitting voluntary and involuntary alarm signals in emergencies are called Personal Emergency Signal Systems. They consist of (one or more) Personal Emergency Signal Devices and a Personal Emergency Signal Receiving Center. Personal Emergency Signal Systems that can also facilitate voice communication are designated as PNA-S.
Personal emergency signaling devices (PNG)
Personal emergency signal devices (PNG) are carried by at-risk individuals. They are wireless signal transmitters that can trigger an alarm in the personal emergency signal reception center, both voluntarily and involuntarily, in case of an emergency. If a personal emergency signal device also has the capability for voice communication, it is referred to as PNG-S.
PNA-S
A personal emergency signaling system with the capability of voice communication is referred to as PNA-S.
Will-dependent person alarm
The voluntary personal alarm is an optical and acoustic signal that is triggered in an emergency by a conscious, intentional manual activation of the personal emergency signal device at the personal emergency signal reception center.
Non-volitional Person Alarm
A non-volitional personal alarm is an optical and acoustic signal that is automatically triggered by the personal emergency signal device at the personal emergency signal reception center, thereby indicating an emergency.
Emergency
An emergency is the occurrence of a condition that necessitates the initiation of assistance measures. Examples of emergencies include sudden, harmful events, such as an accident, an acute illness, the sudden exposure to hazardous substances, or an assault.
Emergency signal
A signal that triggers a personal alarm in the personal emergency signal reception center is called an emergency signal.
Emergency signal button
The emergency signal button allows users of a personal emergency signal device to trigger an emergency signal, thus creating a user-dependent personal alarm..
