Lone Worker Policy Writers

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.

What Do Lone Worker Policies Cover?

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.
