Thanks to social distancing laws and practices many more of us are now lone working, leaving our personal safety vulnerable.
Lone working is working without the direct supervision of a superior or manager. A lone worker doesn’t have to be solitary to be considered a lone worker.

As an essential service, we are here to keep your staff safe. During the lockdown period we will remain open for new and exiting customers.
As you would expect, the safety of our employees and customers is our top priority and whether home, office or remotely based we are making sure our employees stay safe with measures you have already come to know over the past few months.
We will keep you up to date should anything change, but for now, keep yourselves, families, friends and colleagues safe.
Should you have any questions or require any support with lone worker products / service, please do not hesitate to contact the team.
Keeping your staff safe is your legal obligation as their employer. Your staff safety practices will depend on the activities your staff do and the environment in which they will be doing it.
