Talk:Lone worker monitoring

Lone worker issues[edit]

It is estimated that 22% of the 31.2million UK working population, that is 6.8 million people, work alone on a regular basis. They spend periods of their day outside of direct contact or supervision of thier colleagues and management.

As workers we are under the responsibility of our employers during our work hours, and the environment in which we work must be as safe as it can be. Our employers have to accept responsibility for our safety whether we are in the office, on the shop floor, in a vehicle, in the street or if we knock on someones door to make a home visit - in all those situations our safety is the responsibility of the employer.

In businesses and organisations that take a responsible view they will understand that lone workers are especially open to risks which cannot be managed. They will therefore write a [Lone Worker] Policy and work with staff to explain it, make sure it is sensible, and then follow up its implementation to ensure it is being followed. The HSE make a point of checking these policies when they make their visits - and then audit compliance at worker/user level.

There are lone worker devices, systems, training and risk assessments to minimise the risk to lone workers available on the market. [1] (http://safetyline.ca)
