Frequently Asked Questions

Lone working refers to situations where an employee works without direct supervision or immediate assistance from colleagues, either at a workplace, remotely, or while travelling between locations.

Risks may include accidents, violence, medical emergencies, isolation, travel-related incidents, and difficulties accessing help quickly when working without nearby support.

Employers must assess and manage risks, provide suitable training and support, while lone workers must follow safety procedures and report hazards or concerns.

Lone workers should follow risk assessments, maintain communication, use appropriate safety equipment, plan journeys, remain aware of their surroundings, and report changes in risk.

Lone worker training helps individuals recognise hazards, understand responsibilities, assess risks, follow safe practices, and respond appropriately to emergencies when working alone.
