Introduction
Conducting risk assessments is essential to adhere to health and safety legislation and to meeting your duty of care.
Lone workers face a range of risks and hazards on a daily basis, that can differ from those based in a fixed or office environment.
The process outlined in this guide will enable you to evaluate the risks faced by your employees and put in place measures to minimise them. We have also included a risk assessment template for you to use.
Your risk assessment should form part of your lone worker policy document. It is an official written document that covers the risks faced by lone working staff and the responsibilities of both the employer and employee for lone worker safety.
We have also created an in depth lone working policy guide and template which you can download from our website.
