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.

Interesting course.
A interesting course for people who work alone just like myself. Some helpful tips too.
very useful
i found so interesting especially the useful tips when i travel alone on the bus
Explained all categories well
This user gave this course a rating of 5/5 stars
Well presented, gets the message home.
The pace is good, and presenters are clear. I thought the occasional checks on understanding were useful and overall the course was effective. The test at the end could be improved, by making the multi choice questions a bit less obvious. Otherwise it is tempting to gloss over these two quickly without really thinking.
Really good
Really interesting, thought I knew about this subject but I learned a lot more
Informative and Sensible

Informative
Very helpful and good guide to working alone and safety of doing so
It was easy to follow and brought up some good points for if you are a lone worker
The lady speaking who delivered the course was very good at getting the points and information over in a very clear and informative way as well. It's a good course to make people aware of working alone and the associated potential risks, but done in a good way.

(a) the risks to their health and safety identified by the assessment;
