Lone workers face unique and increased risks because of the isolated nature of their work. They must be able to manage situations independently and without immediate backup or emergency assistance when something goes wrong.
Employers have a legal duty to properly assess and control the risks their lone workers face. As part of this duty, employers must provide suitable information, instruction and training to their lone working staff that covers hazards and safeguards specific to isolated work.
Lone Worker Training fulfils these requirements and enables lone workers to protect themselves more effectively.
According to the British Safety Council, there are approximately 6 to 8 million lone workers. This figure includes workers in security, construction and retail – all industries where lone workers consistently face high levels of risk.
This awareness-level course is designed for lone workers in any sector. It makes users aware of lone working hazards and measures to reduce or eliminate risk. It also looks at conducting dynamic risk assessments to identify and control hazards unique to the user’s work environment and duties.
Lone Worker Training is safety training that prepares individuals who work alone to recognise and manage the unique risks of isolated work. It covers legal duties, hazard identification, dynamic risk assessments, and the use of control measures such as communication systems to stay safe while working without direct supervision.
Lone workers face increased risks due to the lack of nearby support in emergencies. These include delayed medical assistance, difficulty raising alarms, exposure to violence or aggression, accidents in isolated areas, and stress from working without supervision or contact.
Lone worker safety training is required in industries where staff work without immediate support. This includes construction, healthcare, security, maintenance, field services, retail, transport, and remote or hybrid office roles. Employers in these sectors must provide training to meet their legal safety obligations.
