Personal Safety Course for Lone Workers Overview

This Personal Safety Course for Lone Workers is designed to equip employees with the required knowledge and skills needed to act responsibly in situations when they are working alone, whether they are working in an office or engaging with the public outside of the office. It covers both employers' and employees' legal responsibilities, as well as some typical security precautions and practical ways to minimise conflict in lone worker circumstances. This course also provides a clear set of instructions on how to report and record incidents and conduct effective risk assessments within the workplace.

Despite the fact that their daily tasks are slightly different, lone workers face many of the same risks as non-lone workers. Slips, stumbles, and falls on the same level, handling, lifting, or carrying, being struck by a moving object, and falling from height are the four most prevalent causes of bodily harm for lone workers. While physical danger and risks are always taken into account, the social concerns that lone workers face such as the risk of being assaulted are discussed less frequently. This course discusses both physical and social dangers associated with lone working. Upon successful completion of this course, you will be able to assess the risks of working alone and understand what actions to take to reduce the risks of lone working.

According to data from the Department of Health and Safety at Work, there were as many as 6 million lone workers in the UK in 2018, accounting for 20% of the total population. Working alone poses greater risks to the worker because there is no one around to call for help or provide assistance in an emergency, which means you are more likely to encounter scenarios where your safety is jeopardised. As a result, it is crucial for employees to be prepared and well-informed about the steps that must be performed to prevent such mishaps from occurring.

This course is useful not just for employers who hire lone workers, but also for employees who are compelled or required to work alone owing to certain circumstances. 

Upon successful completion of this course, you will be able to assess the risks of working alone and understand what actions to take to reduce the risks of lone working.
