As per the Health and Safety Executive “Lone workers are those who work by themselves without close or direct supervision.”. This can be carers carrying out home visits in the community, engineers working on pylons or night security guards.
The risks for lone workers can vary and include –
❌ violence
❌ falls
❌ stress
❌ dangerous weather
❌ accidents
Lone worker apps can be a great way to protect lone workers, do you use them and if so which ones?
