Course Overview

This training programme helps to increase personal safety during a working day, specifically for those working alone or away from colleagues.

It’s also beneficial for those working around visitors, such as members of the public, customers, patients, or anyone else they do not know.

Personal safety at work concerns everyone in the workplace, but lone workers are at greater risk of experiencing violence and aggression.

This course introduces the topic of personal safety by increasing awareness of other people's behaviour, as well as ensuring that you have strategies in place to avoid threatening situations.

It may surprise you that roughly 46% of workers in the UK consider themselves to be 'lone workers' operating in a variety of industries, such as housing, health & social, transport & logistics, construction, retail and out of hours work.

Lone working is completely legal, but nevertheless, employers have a legal obligation to consider risks to health & safety. Our Lone Working in the Workplace Training is the perfect solution to adhering to this obligation.

If your job requires you to work away from a fixed workplace, our Lone Working OUT OF the Workplace training may be more useful to you.

This eLearning course only provides awareness education. Face to face training is also a requirement to be fully equipped with the practical skills and knowledge to carry this forward in your organisation.
