Lone Working (UK)

- Responsibility
- Safety
- Compliance Awareness
Course overview
Your employees may find it nice to work on their own. They can get stuck in without distractions. They don’t have to rely on waiting for anyone else to get the job done. And if they don’t feel like chatting with anyone, they don’t have to. But even though it might sound peaceful and beneficial for them to do their best work, lone workers are often more at risk of harm.
There aren’t any laws specifically designed for lone working in the UK. But various health and safety legislations require your managers to pay special attention to employees who work on their own. This means putting in place extra measures to make sure they’re safe.
