Radio & Lone Working Communications
Whatever your business Lone Working is almost always a part and with the ever increasing need to be competitive and the advancements in technology is becoming a far more common occurrence in the modern workplace.
Lone Working is not in itself against the law, and it will often be perfectly safe. However, the law requires all employers to think about and deal with any health and safety risks before people should be permitted to work alone. Employers are governed by the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, which places a duty on them to be responsible for the health, safety and welfare at work of all of their employees. They are also responsible for the health and safety of those affected by their work activities, for example any self-employed people they engage and visitors, such as contractors. These responsibilities cannot be transferred to any other person, including those who work alone. It is the employer’s duty to assess risks to lone workers and take steps to avoid or control risks where necessary.
