Even in times of crisis, most machines in the German industry run in chord. And demands regarding productivity, flexibility and efficiency are constantly growing. For many mechanics, electricians or technicians on the factory floor, this means: if a machine switches off for safety reasons, the clock begins to tick. But restart does not always go smoothly.
Detecting hazardous substances in the smallest concentrations and measuring them precisely is a major challenge, and not only for industry.

The Budenheim company takes its name from the Rhine-based region of its founding, but today operates as a truly international chemical specialist. The company headquarters remain in the region (Close to neighbouring Mainz, Germany), but are now part of a number of additional production sites based around the world. Inevitably, some of the activities carried out by Budenheim personnel, require an element of lone working – often defined as working outside of eyesight or earshot from another colleague. Typically, this will involve maintenance or check procedures around product control, testing, and safety. Even employees not working in a high-risk environment, can face heightened risk in an emergency, due to working alone.
