Lone Worker Training
Lone workers or those that on occasion find themselves working on their own, often find themselves in vulnerable situations due to the nature of their work. Their role can involve working off site, meeting people they know little about and sometimes working outside normal working hours.
Lone Working is a subject organisations may overlook because it has never arose or caused a problem thus far. But when an incident happens and questions are asked about assessment of the risk and training provided, this can then lead to absenteeism of staff and increased levels of staff for all involved.
We help people who are responsible in all sectors and all levels to help prevent an incident from happening and also provide training to protect everyone involved by implementing proven measures in all areas relating to personal safety when lone working.
