Lone Worker Protection

Protect your staff from as little as 18p a day.

As an employer, you have a responsibility for the health, safety and welfare of your employees whilst at work. With stringent health and safety legislations and the introduction of the Corporate Manslaughter Act of 2008, many companies and public bodies now look for cost effective ways to reduce the risk to their more vulnerable lone working staff.

Welcomm have partnered with SitexOrbis, a leading lone worker support solution, to offer our customers a solution that not only provides your staff with the reassurance of a back up support whilst working in the field, but also as the employer, it provides you with the confidence of knowing the neccessary support is in place.

Who are lone workers and what jobs do they do?

Lone workers are those who work by themselves without close or direct supervision. They may be found in a wide range of situations, and some examples are provided below.

People in fixed establishments

• People working alone in premises, eg in small workshops, petrol stations, kiosks or shops
• People who work from home
• People working separately from others, eg in factories, warehouses, some research and training establishments, leisure centres or fairgrounds
• People working outside normal hours, eg cleaners and security, production, maintenance or repair staff

Mobile workers working away from their fixed base

• Workers involved in construction, plant installation, maintenance and cleaning work, electrical repairs, lift repairs, painting and decorating or vehicle recovery
• Agricultural and forestry workers
• Service workers, eg rent collectors, postal staff, social workers, home helps, doctors, district nurses, pest control workers, drivers, engineers, architects, estate agents, sales representatives and similar professionals visiting domestic and commercial premises
