About this course
This Lone Worker Safety training programme has been designed to help increase personal safety during a working day - specifically, those working alone or away from colleagues.
It also applies to those whose job requires them to receive visitors, members of the public, customers, or patients - in fact, anyone they may not know. Although personal safety at work is something that concerns everyone, lone workers are more vulnerable and at greater risk of violence and aggression.
This course will introduce the topic of personal safety; looking at increasing observation and awareness of other people's behaviour and making sure you have strategies to avoid threatening situations.
Although it's hard to believe, around 46% of workers in the UK consider themselves to be 'lone workers' and they come from various industries, such as housing, social & health, homeworkers, transport & logistics, construction, retail and out of hours work.
Lone working is completely legal, however, employers have a legal obligation to consider risks to health and safety. We believe our Lone Worker Safety Training to be the perfect solution.

Informative
Well presented, clear explanations. A little too long.
clear understandable delivery
This user gave this course a rating of 5/5 stars
Good course
Good course, completed last year and nothing new added this time around so unsure why this had to be repeated. Maybe increase the length of time before expiry e.g. staff to repeat every 2 to 3 years.
Too long
45 minutes of video training for what is mostly common sense practice is too long and not helpful. There was what seems like a lot of fear mongering, be afraid of everything and everyone, always carry a personal alarm, always know your exits and be ready to jump through them at a moments notice, plan your journey 15 steps in advance etc. It could be a lot more succinct and considerably shorter.
Very Helpful
helpful acronyms to help remember what to do/think when in various situations alone
Good information given,
Helpful being reminded of what needs to be considered when lone working. Some of situations were different to what I have experienced when I did lone working, so this was useful information.
Helpfull

Good information.
Wish I had completed this course many years ago in a previous job. Good well explained content. Still relevant in private life as in work time.
