Learn how to assess lone working risks, build lone worker safety into your health and safety system with Pilla, and use AI to automate the process.
Join Liam Jones, founder of Pilla and a qualified food safety consultant, for a session on lone working risk assessments.
A lone worker is anyone who is out of earshot of others, even for a short time. This can include staff locking up, early morning openers, cleaners and delivery drivers. Identifying and protecting these workers is a legal requirement.
You need to identify every role and situation where a staff member could end up working alone, including closing shifts, stock takes in storage areas and off-site deliveries. Assess how you keep in contact with lone workers during their shifts, whether through check-in procedures, buddy systems or communication devices.
Staff working alone are more vulnerable to aggression from customers, contractors or intruders, so safeguards such as CCTV, panic alarms and de-escalation training need to be considered. Lone workers need to know what to do in an emergency, have access to first aid, and there should be arrangements to confirm staff have secured the premises and arrived home safely after late shifts.
See how lone working risk assessments fit into your wider health and safety management system in Pilla. We walk through how to build this into your system so that your team has clear processes, accountability, and a documented trail that proves compliance.
Learn how AI can speed up this process and connect Pilla to your other tools, giving you a much more joined up system across your business.
