As an employer, you have a duty to ensure the health and safety of staff and anyone who uses your premises.
And if your business employs staff who work by themselves, you’ll need to consider specific risks that impact these lone workers.
Employees in a wide range of businesses and industries can sometimes be required to work on their own.
If you have staff that are lone workers, it follows that you’ll need to carry out a lone working risk assessment.
