Frequently Asked Questions

Lone working means carrying out work without close or direct supervision. It can include working alone at a site, travelling between locations or providing care in a person’s home.

Risks can include accidents, violence, medical emergencies, travel hazards and inadequate communication. UK employers should assess risks and implement suitable controls under health and safety guidance.

Employers must assess risks to lone workers and take reasonable steps to protect their health, safety and welfare. The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and HSE lone working guidance are key UK resources.

Follow risk assessments and workplace procedures, maintain communication, plan travel, carry required safety equipment and report concerns. Check-in systems and emergency contacts can also support lone worker safety.

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) provides guidance on lone worker risks, risk assessments and employer responsibilities. Always follow your organisation’s lone working policy and safety procedures.
