Who are Lone Workers?
The variety of circumstances that define lone work might surprise you. While occupations like long-haul truck drivers or after-hours security guards might come to mind, the reality is the definition of what constitutes working alone is much broader. You must have a complete view of all your solo workers.
The National Safety Council (NSC), a leading health and safety organisation in the United States, classifies lone workers into four main categories. Those who:
- WORK SEPARATELY FROM OTHERS AT A FIXED WORKSITE – for example, factory workers, warehouse workers and machinery operators.
- WORK ALONE AWAY FROM THE MAIN WORKSITE – for example, lone construction/ trades workers, oil and gas field workers, and remote/hybrid workers.
- WORK ON THE MOVE/MOBILE WORKERS – for example, transportation and logistics drivers, technicians on service call-outs, and sales reps.
- WORK IRREGULAR HOURS/SHIFT WORKERS – for example, emergency responders, healthcare workers, and retail staff.
Evolving Legislation
Work-alone legislation has been enacted in many countries. While a foundational component is the periodic confirmation of employee well-being, often through a manual check-in process, these protocols can be manually intensive and prone to human error. Employees forget to check in or out, causing false alarms. Supervisors get complacent and neglect to check in on someone who may need help. That’s why legislation is evolving and becoming more stringent globally:
AUSTRALIA MANDATES MONITORING - makes it compulsory for employers to monitor the health and well-being of any of their employees working remotely or in isolated conditions. Learn More Here about Remote or isolated work in Australia
