About this course
This Lone Worker Safety training programme has been designed to help increase personal safety during a working day - specifically, those working alone or away from colleagues.
It also applies to those whose job requires them to receive visitors, members of the public, customers, or patients - in fact, anyone they may not know. Although personal safety at work is something that concerns everyone, lone workers are more vulnerable and at greater risk of violence and aggression.
This course will introduce the topic of personal safety; looking at increasing observation and awareness of other people's behaviour and making sure you have strategies to avoid threatening situations.
Although it's hard to believe, around 46% of workers in the UK consider themselves to be 'lone workers' and they come from various industries, such as housing, social & health, homeworkers, transport & logistics, construction, retail and out of hours work.
Lone working is completely legal, however, employers have a legal obligation to consider risks to health and safety. We believe our Lone Worker Safety Training to be the perfect solution.

Be aware at all times
Don’t take chances. Reduce risks where possible. A quiet word can defuse a bad situation
Informative and reminder of risks
Good course and informative, also reminded me of the issues that we may become complacent around when we are working on our own.
See below
i) The inaccurate description of Hackney carrige taxis as always being "Black Cabs" was a distraction from the course, as some authorities outside of London allow other vehicle types. ii) The questions appear to be a tad semantic and open to a false interpretation in this course, unlike other courses from iHasco which are clearer.
