Working alone is not in itself against the law and it will often be safe to do so. However, the law requires employers to consider carefully, and then deal with, any health and safety risks for people working alone.
Employers are responsible for the health, safety and welfare at work of all their workers. They also have responsibility for the health and safety of any contractors or self-employed people doing work for them.
Employers have a duty to assess risks to lone workers and take steps to avoid or control risks where necessary.
We offer a range of highly effective and easy to use lone worker protection systems to ensure workers are never alone wherever they are.
At the first hint of a dangerous situation, simply pressing one button will alert a team of highly experienced operators, they are able to listen and assess the situation, while accurately locating the user, and coordinate the appropriate response.
