LONE WORKING Introduction Usually have corporate induction every month – but have been revamping it and have reduced it to being half a day

Lone workers are those who work by themselves without close or direct supervision. Employers have a duty to assess risks to lone workers and take steps to avoid or control risks where necessary. Such staff may be exposed to greater risk because there is no-one to assist them.

Employers have a duty to assess risks to lone workers and take steps to avoid or control risks where necessary. This must include: Involving workers when considering potential risks and measures to control them. Taking steps to ensure risks are removed where possible. Putting in place control measures, e.g. carefully selecting work equipment to ensure the worker is able to perform the required tasks in a safe environment. Instruction, training and supervision. Reviewing risk assessments periodically or when there has been a significant change in a working practice.

It is important to consider the following when lone working: Be aware of risk assessments relating to lone working and the potential increase in risk due to lone working Following correct lone working procedures and familiarise yourself with the lone working policy. Ensure different modes of contact to line managers have been established. Inform work colleagues/management of location and duration of lone working. Report in at the end of the working day.

Further information on a range of health and safety matters can be found on both the Health and Safety Executive website and on the Councils Monitor pages.
