Welcome to your Personal Safety for

Lone Workers Course

Overview

Personal safety for lone workers is of prime importance. Every day in the UK, thousands of workers will be exposed to situations in which their safety could be put at risk, when they are left alone with customers or other members of the public.


Why take this course?

Safety risks can be more of an issue when staff are working in isolation without the support of colleagues to help them should an emergency or dangerous situation arise. Safety precautions for lone workers are therefore essential to protect their wellbeing, personal safety and the business they are working for too.


For example, a robbery in a shop could leave a lone worker shaken, injured, unable to return to work for some time, and cost the workplace in terms of both finance and reputation.

Undertaking our Personal Safety for Lone Workers e-learning course can help staff learn how to safeguard themselves and the premises they look after, minimising risk for all.


After completing the course, learners will know:

· What lone working is and why it is an issue worth finding out about

· The personal safety responsibilities that both employer and employee have

· The basic process of how people's roles are assessed to see what potential risks exist from lone
working

· Key questions you can ask yourself in order to assess your own situation each time you work alone

· Important advice on how to act and what precautions to take in order to reduce the risks of lone
working


Who is this course for?

The Personal Safety for Lone Workers course is for anyone who is required to spend time alone with customers or members of the public as part of their job. This could be night-time petrol station workers, shop assistants, community carers or even teachers.
