Countless studies show that those who work alone are at higher risk of feeling isolated from their employer and colleagues.
Anyone who has ever been a lone worker, freelanced, or regularly worked from home can identify with the feeling of isolation it brings. It can be easy to go from breakfast to dinner without speaking out loud to another soul, and this can be lonely.
If you work alone, your employer has an obligation to help keep you safe but you’re also obliged to help keep yourself safe too. With that in mind, here are five personal safety tips for lone workers.
It’s well documented that working alone can cause stress and feelings of isolation, both of which can then impact on physical health. With the additional stress of facing potentially risky situations, there’s no wonder that many lone workers aren’t very satisfied with their jobs or may leave for other professions.
Is working alone legal? Is it safe to work alone? Common questions that employers and employees might both have. This blog will answer these questions in addition to giving advice on reducing lone working risk.
Lone working in the heath and social care sector is high risk, perhaps more so than any other sector.
The breadth of roles, environments, service users, and staff make predicting and controlling the risks very difficult, and adding working alone into the mix only makes it more dangerous.
So it is absolutely vital that health and safety managers have given careful consideration to the risk assessments, and have a robust lone worker policy in place.
In this blog we will discuss the main hazards faced by lone workers in the health and social care sector and give some tips for reducing the risk.
