Lone worker policies outline how businesses protect employees who work alone without direct supervision, either on-site or off-site.
These HR policies help manage the specific risks faced by lone workers and ensure legal compliance with health and safety duties.
A lone worker policy typically includes:
Definition of lone working and roles it applies to
Risk assessments and safety measures
Communication procedures and emergency contacts
Use of lone worker monitoring systems or apps
Training and supervision requirements
Reporting procedures for incidents or concerns
Responsibilities of both managers and employees
Under UK health and safety law, employers have a duty to assess and control risks to lone workers. This includes physical safety, mental wellbeing, and access to support in case of emergency.
A clear policy helps reduce liability, reassure staff, and ensure that those working alone do so in a safe and supported way.
