LONE WORKING COURSES - SAFE WORKING ALONE TRAINING

Lone working is defined as an employee who works alone or alone in the community without close supervision or the benefit of interaction with other staff.

There are certain responsibilities that an employer and employee have for working conditions; this training will help clarify what these roles and responsibilities are, and how to ensure that when lone working, safe working practices are employed and the requisite care is taken.
