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.

Frequently asked questions

Lone worker training teaches employees how to safely work alone. The course covers topics such as risk assessments, how to stay safe and what to do in an emergency.
A lone worker policy is created by an employer to help protect employees who are working alone. The goal of the policy is to promote a strong safety culture among lone working employees and sets out clear rules, employee obligations, and company stances.
Lone worker training is for anyone who works alone, whether that be in a single place of work, or out in the field. The course is designed to help employees stay safe when they are not working with anyone else. Common lone worker roles include community nurses, delivery drivers, sales reps, and more.
