Lone Working and Staying Safe

FREE

Employers have a duty of care towards workers to ensure as far as reasonably practical the health and safety and wellbeing of all staff and others in your organisation. Including managing the risks they may be subjected to. Risk levels vary within different organisations; however, what does not change is your legal responsibility. In 2010, Mental Health Matters were fined £30,000 and costs of £20,000 when an employee was stabbed to death. There are often simple, cost effective measures that can be taken to minimise risks to staff or volunteers on a daily basis.
