Lone working and threat response

Working alone means the decision is yours, and there is nobody to check it against.

Violence and threats 20–30 min per run

Alone, every decision is the first and the last one.

A lone worker has no colleague to read a room with, no second opinion, and nobody who notices they have stopped answering. Most procedures quietly assume somebody else is there. The procedure is not wrong; it is just not the situation.

This one is for field service, home visits, night shifts and security rounds — anyone whose work takes them somewhere without a colleague. It covers before, during and after a visit that turns.

What a team does in it

One run, three parts. A team can go back to any of them as often as it needs, and most do.

  1. 1

    Set it up before you go

    A team plans a visit: who knows where they are, when they check in, and what happens if they do not.

  2. 2

    Read the door

    They arrive and decide, in the first few seconds, whether to go in at all.

  3. 3

    Leave while you can

    The situation turns inside. They work through the exit, the call, and the report that follows it.

Included with every module

  • The training itself, repeated as often as you need.

Put it on your shortlist and we go through it together, with nothing to decide yet.

Next to it in the same cluster

Teams that meet this hazard usually meet the others on the same shift. The cluster page Violence and threats holds all of them together.

Take one round and work through it.

Bring a route or a visit type your people do alone. We go through the training against it, end to end.

What happens in the demo

  1. You pick the hazard From your own risk assessment, not from a demo script.
  2. We go through the training Start to finish, the same version your people would get.
  3. We look at your site Who would run it, on which shifts, and what a first group needs.
