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.
