As a responsible employer any organisation that employs staff has accountability for
the health and safety at work for all their employees. This can present challenges
for any organisation where an employee’s job requires them to work alone either
at a set location or off site away from the office.
The Health & Safety Executive stipulates that where lone working occurs it is the
employers’ duty to assess risks to lone workers and take steps to avoid and control
the risk where necessary. The Worcestershire TeleCare Lone Worker Monitoring
System enables employers to minimise risk to employees who are assessed as
potentially vulnerable when going about their everyday work.
