Lone Working Policy

INTRODUCTION

We recognise that staff who work alone may be exposed to hazards that are not usually present when working with other staff. We additionally recognise that extra precautions are required to safeguard the health and safety of lone working staff.

It is our policy to:

• Carry out a suitable and sufficient risk assessment for lone working activities.
• Provide a safe system of work for staff.
• Provide appropriate information and training to all lone working staff.
• Make adequate first aid provision for all lone working staff.
