Online Lone Working Essentials

€35

Our Lone Working Essentials course is designed to provide those who work alone with the appropriate information and training to reduce the risks associated with lone working and ensure they are familiar with control procedures in place.

Many people routinely work by themselves as part of their normal day to day work. Working alone or in isolation can place people in a vulnerable position whereby assistance, if required, may not be readily available.

Working alone should not place employees at greater risk than other employees so lone workers must be aware of the particular risks they face and be familiar with control measures in place to ensure their safety.

Course Objectives

  • To heighten awareness regarding the health and safety issues associated with lone working.
  • To identify the responsibilities of both lone workers and employers.
  • To promote safe practices for lone working.
