Lone Working: Protecting those Working Alone

As an employer, it is your responsibility to manage any health and safety risks before your staff can work alone, including anyone contracted to work for you and the self-employed.

A Lone worker is classified as someone working by themselves and without close or direct supervision resulting in a greater risk if things go wrong.

The HSE free to download leaflet provides guidance to employers on how to keep lone workers healthy and safe along with a new video setting out the key advice, with animations to help explain how lone workers should be protected
