Working Alone (Lone Worker)
What is Working Alone (Lone Worker) ?
Working alone doesn’t have to mean working without support. Many jobs require employees to operate independently whether it’s in remote areas, after hours, or in isolated environments. However, without the right precautions, working alone can present unique safety challenges. This Working Alone Safety Training course is designed to help individuals and organizations understand these challenges and take proactive steps to protect lone workers.
Course Overview
Accidents can happen even during familiar tasks—and when you’re alone, the consequences can be much more severe. Without a plan or backup, a minor emergency can quickly become life-threatening. That’s why working alone safety training is so critical. This course helps learners understand how to prevent incidents and manage risks when working without direct supervision.
The program explores what defines a lone worker and explains the legal responsibilities for employers and employees under Canadian regulations. It also introduces practical strategies for identifying risks, assessing hazards, and implementing effective control measures.
Learners will gain insight into how to establish check-in procedures, develop communication protocols, and apply best practices for personal safety. By completing this working alone safety training, participants will know how to create safe systems of work that protect both themselves and their organization.
