What is lone working?

Lone workers are those who work by themselves without close or direct supervision, for example:

• as delivery drivers, health workers or engineers

• as security staff or cleaners

• in warehouses or petrol stations

• at home

What my duty?

As an employer, you must manage any health and safety risks before people can work alone. This applies to anyone contracted to work for you, including self-employed people.

How key wise can help

As we have staff out 365 days a year 24/ 7 days a week we are in a perfect position to monitor the well being of your own lone working staff. This can be done in two ways, a simple call to check they are all happy and well or by an actual physical visit, should it be by phone call and we do not get an answer we could escalate to either an agreed check or to immediately inform someone.

IN A NUTSHELL

Lone working service checks can safely manage your lone working staff with escalating measure in place .
