Lone Working and Home Working Safety

For people who work alone in the field, on the road, at night or at home, and for the supervisors who support them. Learn how to assess and plan lone work, which tasks must never be done alone, how check-in, buddy and escalation systems and lone worker devices keep you connected, how to handle violence, night work, remote sites, heat and emergencies, and how to work safely and well from home.
