WORKING ALONE IN SAFETY

Those working alone, without close or direct supervision, are particularly vulnerable to health and safety risk. This may be due to the work activity carried out or the location and time at which the activity is carried out. They encounter a range of hazards which can cause injury or ill health. An employer is required to ensure the health, safety and welfare of all employees. Further a risk asessment should be carried out in line with the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 (as amended).

JRL Solutions Ltd provides a half day course for managers and those who will carry out risk assessments for those who work alone.

The syllabus includes:-

• legal framework
• the hazards to which those who work alone are exposed
• an understanding of who may be "those who work alone"
• evaluation of risk
• control of risk
