Lone worker protection and Security services in the UK

WE CAN PROVIDE LONE WORKER PROTECTION SERVICE TAILORED TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF YOUR BUSINESS OR ORGANISATION

Lone worker protection not only ensures you comply with the law and regulations; it also gives your employees reassurance and peace of mind. A safe working environment is a priority for employees, and with a correct and effective lone worker system in place it is also easily achievable.
 
Here at SECURIST we are leading providers of remote monitoring and lone worker protection solutions and a question we often get asked is simply: Do I need a lone worker protection system? 
 
If the answer is yes to any of these questions, then a lone worker protection system is a necessity for your business and the well being of your employees:
 

• Do your employees ever attend sites alone? If they do, they must always be provided with a lone worker protection device or system that ensures their whereabouts and safety are always known.

• Do your employees work at large sites, where they may be too far away to be seen and heard at all times by someone else? This is a common situation for maintenance and construction teams. Although employees may work as part of a team, there may be moments when they are ‘out-of-reach’ or separated from their colleagues. In these instances, they are classified as lone workers and will need lone worker protection.

• Do your employees travel alone, to and from sites or meetings? If your employees travel to meetings or call-outs via public transport then it remains your responsibility, as the employer, to ensure they are still safe whilst travelling. A lone worker protection device is often a solution to this lone worker issue.

• Do your employees ever meet with clients, customers or other individuals alone and for work-purposes? This is applicable to many different organisations and highlights the need for lone worker protection in the charity sector, as well as the public and private sectors. If your employees need to meet with individuals by themselves it is essential that they feel secure when doing so.

• Will individual employees be working early or late by themselves? If your employees work by themselves because they come in early, stay late or work different hours to their colleagues then it is important that they are provided with a lone worker protection system too.

• Are your employees mobile workers who work alone? When employees are not located on one site or at a fixed location, but instead travel around, there will be a unique set of risks facing them. Especially if they work alone whilst being mobile, such as taxi drivers.
