DAKS-PNA

Personal Emergency Signal System in accordance with DGUV Rule 112-139

Personal emergency signaling systems (German abbreviation "PNA") in accordance with DIN VDE V 0825-1 are devices designed to trigger and transmit both voluntary and involuntary alarm signals in emergencies. They can be used to protect individuals performing hazardous work alone in compliance with DGUV regulations.

Occupational safety is subject to strict legal regulations. Individuals working alone outside of calling and visual range must be protected during certain hazardous activities in accordance with the DGUV (German Social Accident Insurance), for example, by a personal emergency signaling system.

DAKS-PNA is certified by the employers’ liability insurance association in accordance with DIN VDE V 0825-1 as such a personal emergency signaling system (PNA). The system enables the triggering, transmission, and location of both voluntary and automatic alarms and is used to protect individuals performing hazardous work alone in compliance with DGUV regulations.

The official entries can be accessed in the DGUV certificate database by searching for the German term "Personen-Notsignal-Anlage".
