People who work in isolation or without direct supervision - lone workers - need to ensure that their everyday health, safety and welfare are carefully managed. Whilst working unaccompanied isn't inherently dangerous, it can present unique risks and challenges that workers in busy environments are less likely to encounter, making it essential to understand how these risks can be identified and controlled.
This Lone Working training course helps both employers and employees understand the hazards associated with lone working and the measures that can be taken to minimise them. Covering fixed workplace, off-site and remote and mobile lone working environments, the course has been tailored to allow learners to focus on the content most relevant to their role, with optional role-specific sections that provide practical guidance and control measures for different types of lone working.
