Course Description


Every day, thousands of people are exposed to situations where they are left alone in work

It covers the legal responsibilities of both employers and employees, some of the common security
precautions that can be implemented, practical steps you can take to avoid conflict in lone worker
situations and other elements that can contribute to lone worker safety.
