Lone workers can be at greater risk of harm as they may not have anyone to help or support them if things go wrong.
Employers should provide training, supervision, monitoring and support for those working alone.
HSE's leaflet 'Protecting lone workers: How to manage the risks of working alone' is free to download. It is for anyone who employs lone workers, or engages them as contractors, including self-employed people or those who work alone.
The leaflet is supported by our lone working guidance pages which includes advice aimed at lone workers themselves.
We also have a lone workers video setting out the key advice.
