Product Description

This Lone Worker Safety Training course is a critical online programme for any organisation whose staff work without direct supervision.

In the UK, it's estimated that around 8 million people (or one fifth of the working population) work alone, across sectors from healthcare and social services to transport, retail, and construction. These workers face unique vulnerabilities, including a greater risk of violence and aggression.

This course provides essential knowledge to fulfil the legal duty of care, introducing key concepts of personal safety, threat awareness, and proactive risk management. It covers the entire scope of lone working, from preparing for and travelling to a shift, to implementing practical safety measures on-site, ensuring both employers and staff are informed and protected.

Course Sections:

  • Preparing & Travelling
    Understand what employees should consider before they leave for work and their commute to work.
  • Responsibilities
    Learn who is responsible for what during the course of their shift, what measures are in place and what procedures need to be followed to maintain safety.
  • Practical Safety Measures
    Explore practical safety measures while lone-working.

Accreditations: CPD certified, Citation and RoSPA approved.
Languages: Available in 40 languages.
Duration: Approx. 45 minutes.
