Why do you need it?

This booklet is aimed at staff working in many different lone working scenarios; for example those working in other people’s homes or in remote locations.

Advice includes:

• the law regarding lone working
• assessing the risks to lone workers
• looking at a case study
• lone working away from base; at the front-line; from a fixed base; in isolated and rural areas; in the home and in other people’s homes or territories
• travelling whilst alone
• dealing with and defusing aggression
• what to do in the event of (and after) an incident

No matter what kind of lone worker you are, this book will be relevant to you.

This guide is a great accompaniment to ‘A guide for everyone’ for all lone workers.  It teaches how to assess risk and puts fears into perspective.

If you are a manager of lone workers, you are responsible for their personal safety! Lone working creates more risk for staff, but these risks are manageable. Buying one copy of this booklet for each of your lone workers will help you to comply with personal safety legal obligations (ask us about bulk discounts).
