Problem Tackled:
WC PR7 – Lone Worker
How might we better ensure the safety of staff who work remotely or alone? There are situations where staff are required to work alone, often in remote or risky locations. They can be out of contact for several hours, often in areas with limited connectivity—so knowing they are safe at all times is a problem. How can we ensure their safety, and respond to an emergency situation if required?
