ALPN Safety & Security Services GmbH

What ALPN Safety & Security Services GmbH does

ALPN Safety & Security Services GmbH is a Swiss private limited liability company (GmbH) headquartered in Regensdorf, specializing in occupational safety and health protection (Arbeitssicherheit und Gesundheitsschutz, ASGS) training and ASA consulting. Founded in 2016 and owned by Neil Alp, the firm serves Swiss small and medium enterprises (SMEs), large corporations, and individual professionals required to comply with Swiss workplace safety regulations under UVG, VUV, ArG, and EKAS. The offering is structured around two pillars: ASGS education and training, including federally recognized preparation courses for the Spezialist ASGS and Expert ASGS qualifications plus thematic courses covering hazardous goods, chemicals, psychosocial risks, and maternity protection; and ASA consulting services, including external safety officer engagements, risk assessments, and an EKAS-approved model solution (Modelllösung) for systematic ASGS implementation. Since 2019, the firm has produced approximately 100 graduates with an 88%+ federal exam pass rate versus a 59.3% national average.

The educational platform is built on a Moodle-based learning management system with a blended delivery model (approximately 70% in-person and 30% live online webinars), developed in cooperation with Fernfachhochschule Schweiz (FFHS). Practical training is reinforced through an on-site Safety Parcours (Sicherheitsparcours) facility at the Regensdorf headquarters and external Praxistage hosted at partner sites including Rheinmetall Air Defence, KIBAG, and BRUGG Pipes. The ALPN-CLUB alumni network, with over 70 ASA specialist members, delivers quarterly SGAS-recognized continuing education conferences (2 FBE per event), creating an ongoing community engagement layer. ALPN holds eduQua:2021 certification and three consecutive years of Gold status from the Ausbildung-Weiterbildung portal.

The business model combines one-time course fees (CHF 350–CHF 2,080), subscription-based multi-year programs for diploma tracks, professional services for consulting engagements, and recurring subscription revenue from the ALPN-CLUB membership. Course pricing is partially offset by Swiss federal subsidies (SBFI reimburses up to 50% and EKAS up to 25% of course costs on successful exam completion). The go-to-market is hybrid B2B and B2B-to-professional: enterprise field sales for consulting and on-site corporate training, supplemented by event-driven demand generation through ALPN-CLUB Fachtagungen, trade fair presence at ArbeitsSicherheit Schweiz, and content marketing via its website, YouTube channel, newsletter, and social media. The firm operates with a lean core team of 10 employees (up from 4 two years prior), with new Regensdorf headquarters opened in June 2025.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• SGS: Swiss-headquartered global testing, inspection, and certification company with workplace safety and HSE training services. Comparable because SGS combines Swiss roots with international scale in HSE training and certification, the same broad category in which ALPN competes domestically.
• Suva: Swiss National Accident Insurance Fund, the dominant Swiss public institution for workplace accident prevention and safety training. Comparable because Suva delivers subsidized ASGS-related training, prevention consulting, and EKAS-aligned programs that compete directly with ALPN's paid offerings across the same Swiss SME customer base.
• DEKRA: Germany-headquartered global testing, inspection, and certification organization with broad occupational safety training and consulting services. Comparable because DEKRA operates the certification, training, and safety-consulting play at scale that ALPN executes locally in Switzerland, and serves multinational employers needing cross-border compliance.
• Bureau Veritas: Global testing, inspection, and certification company with HSE and occupational health training and consulting lines. Comparable because Bureau Veritas operates the same testing-and-certification training ecosystem internationally that ALPN serves at the federal-exam-prep level in Switzerland.
• TÜV SÜD: Global testing, certification, and training organization with established workplace safety and HSE training academies. Comparable because TÜV SÜD delivers accredited EHS training, certification prep, and management-system consulting, overlapping with ALPN's curriculum, certification-prep, and ASA consulting offerings.
• BFU (Beratungsstelle für Unfallverhütung): Swiss Council for Accident Prevention, the national coordinator for accident prevention including workplace safety. Comparable because BFU produces safety guidance, training content, and public-sector prevention programs that overlap with ALPN's training and consulting scope in the Swiss occupational safety market.

Direct peers

• National Safety Council (NSC): US non-profit safety organization offering occupational safety training, certification prep, and continuing-education programs. Comparable because NSC operates the same training-and-certification-prep model that ALPN uses for Swiss federal ASGS qualifications, though at materially larger scale and in a different regulatory environment.

Others

• ASSP (American Society of Safety Professionals): US-based professional association for occupational safety and health professionals offering certifications, training, and continuing education. Comparable as an adjacent professional-body peer that mirrors the credentialing-and-continuing-education ecosystem ALPN operates via Verein höhere Berufsbildung ASGS, SGAS, and ALPN-CLUB.
