Lone working
The term working alone applies to those who work by themselves
without any direct or close supervision. This could apply to
individuals working in an isolated part of a building away from
other employees, or to mobile employees who work alone a number of
different locations. Employers must carry out risk assessments of
their loan workers and put suitable control measures in place.
Legislation
Employers have to ensure that they comply with the Health and
Safety at Work Act 1974, Management of Health & Safety at Work
Regulations 1999 and the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases, and
Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 1995.
