Lone Worker Safety
Date Posted: 05/31/2024
The term “Lone Worker” is used to describe any worker who is working remotely and without direct supervision. A Worker could be considered a lone worker at any time when their regular duties require them to work where they cannot be seen or heard by another person; they cannot expect a visit from another worker or member of the public during the ordinary course of their work; and where assistance is not readily available. While working alone is not always hazardous, it can be when other circumstances are present.
