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.

well structured
Good pace and thought provoking
Informative & enjoyable training course
Having been on many & various online training courses over the years, I found this to be a breath of fresh air. The 'Lone Worker Safety Training' course was very easy to understand, very informative and not too long with great little clips that capture potential scenarios perfectly. I believe this course will appeal to many with Layman's terms in mind.

reminded me of things & already knew but I learned some things I was not aware of...they way the modules are set up is easy to follow & i liked the recap at the end...made me more aware that I need to watch my surroundings more & listen to my gut.
Concise and relevant
Excellent information and advice . It is probably something we all get complacent about and it's good to have a gentle reminder.
Succinct and useful.

Excellent
A great reminder to be mindful of the risks & the complacency that can creep in when you have been doing lone working for a long time
