LONE WORKER SAFETY
Are your lone workers as safe as you can make them?
When an employee works alone, they face increased risks of accidents, injuries, and medical emergencies.
If an incident occurs and there is no immediate assistance available, the employee's well-being and safety may be compromised. This can lead to legal liabilities for employers who have a duty of care to provide a safe working environment.
In a lone working scenario, employees may not have immediate access to support or assistance from colleagues. This can make it difficult to address critical situations promptly, respond to emergencies, or manage unforeseen circumstances effectively.

STATISTICS
Around 64,000 fatal accidents affect lone workers every year
Lone working can be hazardous and poses various risks to employees across different industries. As an employer, you have a duty of care to ensure your workers are safe from harm when working alone.
According to the International Labor Organization, around 321,000 fatal accidents occur at work every year worldwide, and around 20% of these accidents involve people who are working alone.
Approximately 1 in 5 fatal accidents in construction are caused by falls from height, which can be especially dangerous for lone workers as there may be nobody nearby to offer assistance.
Lone workers on construction sites may also be at risk of accidents caused by machinery, electrical hazards, and other dangerous equipment.
