Lone working policy

This Lone Working Policy provides clear guidance to ensure the safety and wellbeing of staff working alone. It outlines procedures for identifying and assessing risks, planning tasks, and implementing control measures to minimise potential hazards. Staff are required to follow communication protocols, maintain regular contact, and use appropriate safety equipment. The policy also details emergency procedures, including how to summon help and report incidents. Training and awareness ensure staff understand responsibilities and risks associated with lone working. By following this policy, the organisation promotes a safe working environment, reduces risks, and ensures that staff can carry out their duties confidently and securely.
