THIS MONTH’S FEATURED COURSE – PERSONAL SAFETY FOR LONE WORKERS 

IOSH & IIRSM Approved

Course Description:

Every day, thousands of people are exposed to situations where they are left alone in work premises, when visiting members of the public during their working day, or working from home.

There are many risks associated with working in isolation, without the support of colleagues. These risks can include accidents and violence.

This course acts as an introduction to personal safety for lone workers and applies to those that work alone within business premises, mobile workers and homeworkers.

It also covers the legal responsibilities of both employers and employees, some of the common security precautions that can be implemented, practical steps you can take to avoid conflict in lone worker situations and other elements that can contribute to lone worker safety.

  • Identify the definition of a lone worker
  • Demonstrate understanding of risk factors to lone workers, and identify methods of reducing risk
  • Recognise the key components of relevant legislation including the responsibilities of employees and employers as defined by the Health and Safety at Work Act and associated regulations.
  • Define dynamic risk assessments and understand multi-agency collaboration and issues associated with attending remote locations, including travel.
